Who are you wearing?

Gentlemen,

Your mission: Choose one active and one "throwback" jersey for each major sport that you would wear to that team's home game.

Here are my picks:

- NFL:
Current: Hines Ward...of course
Vintage: Franco Harris

- MLB:
Current: Griff
Vintage: Jose Rio (gray road jersey...definitely)

- NBA:
Current: Steve Nash (sorry Bucks)
Vintage: Kevin McHale

-NHL:
Current: Sidney Crosby (that sweet powder blue one they wore on New Year's Day)
Vintage: Mario Lemeiux

- Soccer:
Current: Dennis Berkamp (World Cup Netherlands...the only orange and black I would wear)
Vintage: Franz Beckenbauer

- NCAA Basketball:
Current: none...definitely not UC. their new uniforms are awful
Vintage: Herb Jones (option 2, Melvin Levitt, but only if it said "Helicopter" on the back)

Wild Card: Remember the team that the Mighty Ducks played in the last game of the first movie? They had great uniforms. I'd wear one of those.

What say you?

I thought this was one we would wear to a game, and frankly I don't like the Rams.

Besides, I already have a Fliper Anderson Jersey, And have worn it to a Rams game

NFL: Ocho Cinco (Enjoy it while it lasts)
Throwback: I have a bright orange P-Dubs practice jersey that I also claim doubles as a Cris Collinsworth. It's hideous, but I also think it's lucky.

NBA: Garnett (Love the Celts simplicity)
Throwback: Barkley on the Suns home jersey(with the Sun logo that for some weird reason had streak marks, as if it was dashing across the uniform? Why? IT'S THE SUN.)

MLB: Ryan Freel (One word: Farney)
Throwback: I actually have a Bench throwback that was given to me on my birthday, so I have to go with that one.

NHL: Any Ottowa Senators jersey
Throwback: Adam "Valujet" Deadmarsh.

College FB: unopened blue book from an FSU exam in an entry level math course. (Honorable mention: DeCody Fagg.)

Throwback: two words -- Tamarick Vanover. It was the first year the Noles had personalized jerseys from Nike. I was in fifth grade. So fly.

For my wild card, I have to go with the super-snazzy woolen "New York Knights" Roy Hobbs jersey from the Natural. I even have the hat to go with it. I wore it as a Halloween costume one year, and a la Patty and Selma: "It made it into the regular rotation."
