ok, this is a offseason topic, but I couldn't help but ask this after finding this site:

So, what is your worst old jersey?

I'd say my worst was a Toni Kukoc jersey, which I as a joke because that's what all the guys on the courts called me back in the day (well, any skinny white guy was my nickname on any given day)

also, I still have my Antoine and Bledsoe jersies

Great link, I love the Big country jersey, it's like an endangered species it's so rare. I had a Shawn Kemp Jersey in the 90s, but I loved that thing.

I have an old Grant Hill Jersey when he was on the Pistons, it was the teal one with the horse on the front :-[

Either that one, or my blue pin-stripped Reggie Miller jersey.

I have a Vin Baker jersey. Got it right after he came back from rehab. He was putting up double doubles night after night. Then he fell off the wagon again (or got back on?). Now the jersey is only worn if I'm drinking or playing street ball.

Nice thread.

In terms of basketball jerseys, my Juwan Howard Washington Bullets jersey might be one that brings me some shame.  (Huge Fab 5 fan as a teen)

Stackhouse, Philly.

It seems every photo of me from middle school has me wearing a Stackhouse jersey.
I wasnt even a fan of him, must have been a gift.

Never much of a player short wearing kinda guy.

I've had my Larry Bird Night T-Shirt sitting at the bottom of my drawer for I don't know how many years now.  It's a couple of sizes too small now, but I can't bring myself to part with it.

I did see a guy with a nice Marcus Banks game jersey the other night.
Yup

When I was in middle school my aunt in Minnesota gave me a Dave Megget Pats jersey, no joke.  Just like the other poster said he only wears his Vin Baker jersey drinking, I only wear my Dave Megget jersey when I'm looking for loving at a reasonable price.

I used to have the old Zo-Mo jersey from Charlotte. Not embarrassed by the name on the back ... just that ugly teal color. Like another poster said, I seemed to have it on in a ton of pictures from middle school, and I wasn't even a fan, I think I found it on the sale rack a Mardens.

My fave jersey is my addidas bill russell one.

I have a customized jersey, like the ones that people put their own name on the back.  Mine is "Bremer" with the number 9.  This is from JR's hayday shooting 38% from three for our boys in Green.

Those things were pretty awful.  I'm really glad most NBA teams have gone back to simpler jerseys.  Points for the Celtics for never straying.

Yup

I actually don't own any myself but a neighbor of mine has a Lakers' Sedale Threatt jersey that he still wears.  That's really gotta be the worst thing ever lol...
