Minnesota Twins 1973-1986 Road Jersey



Today's post is a Minnesota Twins powder blue jersey. It is a replica of what the Twins wore from 1973 to 1986 on the road. This particular jersey is XXL, absolutely huge on me. It is part of the MLB Majestic Cooperstown Collection.



I chose this jersey as today's post because of the upcoming MLB Hall of Fame inductions this weekend. Minnesota Twins great Bert Blyleven finally got the nod and will be inducted. Congrats to number 28, one of the greatest pitchers in Twins history.

Minnesota Wild 00-07 Green Jersey





Today is a special day in the history of the Minnesota Wild! On this day in 1998, the NHL's Minnesota franchise selected the name 'Wild'. In honor of this special day for my favorite NHL team, today's post is a 2000-2007 green Minnesota Wild jersey.






This jersey was worn by the Wild on the road from their inaugural season in 2000, until 2003 when the league switched colors at home and road. It then became the home jersey, ans stayed so until 2007 when the league switched to the Reebok Edge system. This particular jersey is replica, size XXL.

Pittsburgh Penguins 95-02 Alt/Road Jersey

I don't have any Winter Classic jerseys, but I do have a Penguins jersey. So, today's post is a replica of the jerseys worn by the Pittsburgh Penguins from 1995 to 2002. This jersey hit the ice in 1995 as one of the NHL's original third jerseys. It was a radical new design, something the sport had never seen before. In 1997, the Pens made this their road jersey, and it stayed so until 2002, before being replaced by the team's new alternate jersey. This jersey is replica, XL.

Phoenix Coyotes 98-03 Alternate Jersey




Today's post is one of my rarest jerseys, and one of the weirdest hockey jerseys ever. It is a replica 1998-2003 Phoenix Coyotes alternate jersey. This jersey is XXL (a bit too big on me), purchased this past summer at a tiny sports shop in Toronto, Ontario. I was browsing the store when I came across this gem. I knew how rare it was and I quickly put together a deal with the shopkeeper.





Perhaps by simply looking at this jersey, you will understand why it is so strange. Never before had there or has there been a jersey like this. A coyote head as the crest, an odd "desert at night" scene. A plethora of interesting colors. It is truly a unique jersey.

Emmitt Smith "Double-Star" Jersey





With Thanksgiving being tomorrow, I decided I would share an old NFL jersey. Today's post is an Emmitt Smith jersey. It is a replica of the "double-star" jerseys worn by the Dallas Cowboys for several games as an alternate jersey.


This jersey was first seen in 1995, a year after the white version was worn as part of the NFL's 75th Anniversary throwback policy. In 2001, this jersey was worn by the Cowboys on Thanksgiving day. It was worn on the same day until 2003. This specific jersey is replica, size 52.
