Happy Shirsey Day

I'm declaring August 2nd Shirsey Day. Since everything has a day except for shirseys, it deserves one. If you're not exactly sure what one is, Urban Dictionary has the definition:

 one of those T-shirts that looks like a jersey. shirt and jersey combined.

I don't own a lot of them but I've started to accumulate them. 

Let's begin.

Blake Griffin was one of my favorite Clippers and when he was traded, I thought I could snag a jersey with his name on it. Burlington had those jerseys with the iron numbers and I don't like those. I got a shirsey instead and it looks pretty sharp.

 Apologies for the winkles because I put it down in my closet in a corner and forgot about it for a couple of months. I paid $6 for a shirsey that originally was $32.

While the Dodgers were making their run to the World Series last year, Burlington had many Dodgers shirseys on sale. They had Belinger, Puig, Turner, and this one:

Yu Darvish was traded from the Texas Rangers to the Dodgers for their playoff push. He pitched in Game 7 of the 2017 World Series and it didn't go so well. The Dodgers didn't resign him during the off season and he signed with the Cubs. Currently he's on the DL and A-Rod doesn't approve of the way he's rehabbing.

Anyway, it took many months for this shirsey to go on clearance. I paid $9 for a shirsey that Burlington was selling for $17. This goes for $18 on MLB.com 

Let's see we covered basketball and baseball; football is next.

Teddy Bridgewater played for the Minnesota Vikings for three seasons. In what would have been his third season, he suffered a gruesome knee injury that was so serious he almost lost his leg. He was able to recover and play the following season for the Vikings. Currently he's on the New York Jets. I like the shirsey more than the preceding ones because it looks like a jersey. The material on it is very nice. I paid $5 at Ross for this and I can't find the original price online but I'm sure it was at least $30.

MLB FanFests

With the Padres Fan Fest being next Saturday, I thought I should post all the other Fan Fests and Caravan events around the league. Most of them are this month before the teams set out for Spring Training. I have links to the clubs' websites with more info.

What if the Dodgers had won the World Series?

The Houston Astros won the World Series a few weeks ago and there was merchandise produced for both teams if they won. Here's what the Dodgers World Series gear would have looked like according to SportsLogos.

Dodger Jacket

Sorry for the lack of updates. I do have things to post, so I'll start with this:

 I bought this Dodger jacket at Burlington Coat Factory. I paid $22 for a jacket that retailed for over $60. It's very light and gray, Too gray for my liking.

Dodgers' Hat

Just a small post today. I bought this Dodgers' hat at Ross a couple of weeks ago. It's a Los Angeles Dodgers MLB Diamond Era cap. I paid $10 and it retailed for $35. New Era has them on clearance for $20 online. I like how the blue outline makes the LA logo pop out. Most of the Diamond Era caps are good looking and are only tad different than the official on field caps.

Authentic Finds

First off, Sports Authority's clearance sale is now 30%-50% off. I believe it would be a good time to buy licensed merchandise because there is still a good selection of merchandise available. I went yesterday and there weren't any Angels jerseys left. There were still plenty of Ducks, Dodgers, and Chargers licensed gear available.

There are bids to buy some of the stores. We'll see what happens.

Los Angeles Dodgers and Kings

I went to Ross yesterday and found this New Era Dodgers Cap.

It was $10 and it originally retailed $25. I couldn't find on sale at all on New Era's or MLB's  online stores. It goes great with my Dodger road jersey.

Today I went to Burlington Coat Factory and found this shirt on clearance for $8. It was priced $14 at Burlington but I can't find what it originally retailed for.

It says Dodgers on it. I just couldn't get it to stay straight.
