My only Browns jersey is my brown TJ Ward jersey I got last season.

When I was little my grandparents bought me a Mark Brunell Jags jersey. Not a fail at first look except my favorite player was Kerry Collins, not Mark Brunell.

For fails, my friend in high school had an orange Quincy Morgan jersey.

I've always wondered if even one person ever rocked a William Gay jersey. Is it possible? I'd lke to meet this perso if so.

Hahaha. That's rich. If I ever get my mancave underway I'm gonna hang a William Gay jersey to the wall just because I hate the Steelers. I think it'd be a nice touch.

Not a huge fail, but I was pretty pissed about it.

I ordered a custom Emmanuel Adebayor Arsenal jersey during his last season. He was signed to Man City that summer. I was heated! I should have just gotten no name.

I've always been cautious about buying jerseys for fear of getting burnt. I got a Deuce Staley when he came to Pittsburgh....another dumbass move. I don't buy them anymore, but if I did...throwbacks are the way to go.

If I was going to get a jersey just for shits and giggles, there'd only be one option:

Definitely or one with your own last name on the back.

Really?! I think that is more of a "fail jersey" than anything else.

It's so lame.

This. I've been thinking about buying a Mitchell & Ness Steelers Bettis jersey. Or maybe an M&N Steelers Lambert jersey. But, 3 bills is kinda steep. I don't fuck with the fake shit.

I agree those are terrible. The only jerseys I've owned are a few college football jerseys with no names on the back, but that was when I was 12 or 13 and thought wearing football jerseys on regular days was cool.

-Peyton Manning
-Dwight Freeney
-Lionel Messi
-Kenny Lofton
-Datsuyk
-James (Edgerrin...gambled and got it REAL cheap before the draft. Thank God they didnt end up with Ricky Williams, lol)

You can usually get them much cheaper on EBay. My buddy bought an authentic Joe Thomas jersey for $50.

I also have an LBJ jersey (two actually as I was given a pretty fake looking one that my mom bought from Wal-Mart not knowing the difference), smh.... Both have been taken care of.

I'm talking about throwbacks through. There are so many fake Mitchell & Ness jerseys on eBay. Some sellers sell legit ones at a discount but I'm always a little leery of $300 items being sold for a third of that.

I have a Bojan Krkic Barcelona jersey. I got it over an Iniesta jersey all cause I had met the kid in Chicago. Then the next summer the whole team is staying at the Hotel I was eating at and I met them all, including Iniesta. Now Iniesta is one of the top 5 players in the world, and Bojan is being shipped to Roma. Fuck.
