I would love a Powe jersey (anyone know where I can get one BTW?) but I voted PP, you can never have enough PP jerseys.

I got a personalized authentic one for Powe (road green & white) during the championship season.  Spent too much but so far I'm the only one I've seen wearing one, and that may be worth the price of the jersey.

My first C's jersey was a Perkins alternate road jersey.  Have a Pierce home white and a big al home, away, and timberwolves black alternate.  From the list provided, I'd probably have to go KG, though I'd prefer another Perkins one or Scalabrine.  Though a Justin Reed would be money.

I don't think i could ever feel comfortable in a PP jersey, or any of the big 3.  Every time i see someone wearing one i can't help but think, "is he really a hardcore Pierce/Celtic lover, or does he just watch games every-so-often and Paul is the only guy he really knows?"

I didn't buy my Pierce jersey until he won the championship for that very reason.  Then i picked it up as a testament to the fact that I';ve been watching him his whole career and wanted to celebrate that.  Couldn't bring myself to wear KG or Ray Allen, though.  Love them, but the C's, to me, are beyond the big 3.

Plus when Rondo has a good game the day before i always get a comment like, "yeah, he killed it last night!"  I'd get tired of complimenting Pierce jerseys cause he always kills it.
My second choice would probably be Perk or House.

This is actually extremely true. A lot of people I see walking around with PP jerseys actually know nothing about the team. I'll say something like, "Man, Eddie was on fire last night, huh?" and they just give me a blank, whachoo talkin' 'bout, stare.

I got the Rondo jersey because he's my favorite player, straight up. If PP was my favorite, I'd have gotten that first. But I always have a hint more respect for people when I see them with non big-3 jerseys, because they're usually the ones who are the real fans.

I'm more of a generic short kinda guy.  Give me one that just says Celtics.  I always felt weird wearing someone else's name on my back like I was that guy.  I get why people love them, it just never felt right for me.

I guess I'd go with a KG one though.

Yup

I get the same blank stare.  I'm glad Rondo has as many votes as Pierce at the moment, it just shows how loved that kid is.
I also had to buy the Celtics championship hat that all the guys were wearing after they won it, even though i think the black Eastern Conference one looks better.  I mean come on, we won the whole thing, i have to represent.  Plus i can imagine 20 years from now, when the Celtics have like 30 banners, people looking at the Eastern Conference one and say, "Oh, I guess they didn't go all the way that year."
I just can't have that.

  I have a Marcus Banks jersey. My wife got it the year before he was traded. She went out to get my son a Paul Pierce jersey and panicked when the first store she went to was sold out of them. She of course found a Pierce jersey a day or two later but decided that it was easier to give me the Banks jersey for Xmas than to take it back to the store.

  I don't think I'd want any of them because every player I have a jersey of was never a contributor to the team after I got the jersey, either getting injured, cut or traded.
