Personalization

As I made recent note of, I recently purchased a Mariners road jersey, complete with the awesome 30th anniversary patch, since I really don't care about my jersey being 100% current. It came blank. I would like to personalize it.

Star-divide

My first choice is Rowland-Smith, but I'm not sure I want to because a. he is rarely used b. I don't know if I get charged by character and c. I would be disappointed if he left. To elaborate on point c, my last few jerseys have included Rashard Lewis (Sonics) and Darrell Jackson (Seahawks). They were with other teams soon after. I don't want to have another curse, a la Jeff's eBay baseball cards.However, my main reasons for choosing Rowland-Smith are his awesomeness, stemming from his Australianity and his goggle, and the fact that it's a jersey that a relatively small number of people.

 

My question for you is whether it is worth getting his name or should I go with a more safe choice like Beltre or Felix? Or is this DiAry a waste of time?

Two things:

First, we refer to him as "Hyphen" which is much shorter and awesome.

Second, he's probably going to be traded for having a bad attitude, as he'd make a great starter elsewhere and there is no way he is going to be starting here.

So, to conclude:

Yes, Rowland Smith.

I'm aware but I'd want the real name

For some reason, I'd never want a non-real name on the back of my jersey

Oh... Huh...

Well... RRS?

No, then I wouldn't go with Rowland-Smith. Too long. You can do "Jones" to be ironic.

Go for Rowland-Smith

Obscure jerseys are much cooler anyway.

Smith-Rowland

If anyone says anything about it, give them a dollar for being astute Mariners fans.

Get a jersey that says #1 Fan on it

That way everyone will know that you are the Mariners #1 fan!

Except they'll be wrong

because I AM THE MARINERS #1 FAN!

Suzuki

It would be one nobody has. Or someone from the '95 team. They can't go away.

Nostalgia is death for sports jerseys

because it leads people to buy Joey Cora jerseys in 2008, which is just unnecessary.

Ha, I was going to suggest that.

"Tears"

I fucking hate you Mariners

This is exactly why my Seahawk jersey is a #12 Fan

A Felix jersey is probably the safest to be relevant for several years.

I never liked the "fan" jerseys though. They just don't spark the same nostalgia with me.

I have a bunch of old jerseys. and I don't care if the player is still with the team or not. To me that's half the fun.

That being said, I don't think I'll run out and get a Jose Mesa or Rick White jersey.

I'm pretty sure I'm not retarded.

by Thingray on Apr 10, 2008 4:34 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I know!

You should get this: "is fucking the man". 29% of voters agree with me (good luck getting the team store to put it on there for you though).

I'm pretty sure I'm not retarded.

Maybe with the above spelling, they'll think it's one of those long Thai names.
