The City of Pittsburgh: Worn Out Jersey Edition

The jersey fad is sweeping the nation. Everyone wants the new and hot threads that they see on TV, but how far does “new” take you? Just because you have a star’s name on your back doesn’t automatically mean that they’re hot on the streets. Here are the not-so-top twenty jerseys in the city of Pittsburgh… for more worn out jerseys, just check the New York Yankees locker room…20. Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals-
In any other city, this would be #1 on the “Get `em Now” list, but in his former college city- everyone has it. Whether it’s the new or old AZ jersey, either way, it’s still fresh.

19. Rasheed Wallace, DETROIT PISTONS-
Not the Portland Trailblazers! I understand that his Nike Rewind Portland jersey is on sale at every TJMaxx/Marshall’s, but he doesn’t wear red and black anymore… he rocks red and blue…

18. Kordell Stewart, God only knows where-
He had one good year for the Steelers, that’s it. Last I saw, he shanked a punt into the crowd… while warming up in front of the net!

17. Carmelo Anthony, Denver Nuggets-
Whether it’s Denver’s white or baby blue, the yellow rewind, the blue rewind, the white rewind, the Syracuse orange, `Cuse white, `Cuse grey, Oak Hill yellow, Oak Hill orange… get my point?

16. Brett Favre, Green Bay Retirement Home-
I remember walking the halls in 3rd grade, reading the jersey as “Favor,” and some kids still rock those Starter brand jerseys. They’re cool in backyard football, but keep them there.

15. Tracy McGrady, Houston Rockets-
Sleepy’s jersey is everywhere. I’m starting to believe that he still plays for Orlando…

14. Vince Carter, New Jersey Nets-
One reason why he’s on here- the same as Rasheed’s case- he’s been traded for over a year. VC’s Nets jerseys are hot, so if you get any- get a current one.

13. Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls-
After his first retirement, he was on this list. Now? I think I saw Bill Cosby wearing one at the last TV Land Awards…

12. Randy Moss, Oakland Raiders-
People will always wear his jersey- but those same people say “I hate him.” And the same thing goes for this man- I see more #84s than #18s.

11. Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles-
For all the Chunky Soup commercials she’s in, you just know Donovan’s mom is bound to get her own jersey.

10. Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers-
It seems like this kid’s been around for decades. The fact that Mitchell and Ness already has a throwback of him isn’t helping.

9. Jason Kidd, New Jersey Nets-
I don’t know about you, but I’m waiting for a Cal throwback. Now that would boost this assist machine to the Hot List.

8. Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys-
Obviously, we’re talking about his Philly thread. TO’s mouth is running away with his jersey, yet people still buy it. Now with Dallas, that jersey will soon be the #1 seller, then he’ll want the ball more… then he’ll get suspended…
then he’ll do some crunches in his driveway…
7. Allen Iverson, Philadelphia 76ers-
Even girls wear his jerseys. Like J.Kidd, if AI’s name is graced on the back of his college (Georgetown) uniform, The Answer will again be on top.

6. LeBron James, Cleveland “Jump on my bandwagon” Cavaliers-
It’s true. Did any of you care about the Cavs until King James came in? I know I didn’t. Oh, and LeBron says to never accept free jerseys. He knows all too well.

5. Jerome Bettis, NBC Sports-
Fans might as well keep buying- he’ll be in Canton pretty damn soon…

4. LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers-
The baby blue alternate. Yes, it’s the single best jersey style in NFL history, and yes, he’s the best current running back in the game. Perfect fit, right? This jersey seems to fit too many fans.

3. Michael Vick, Hotlanta Falcons-
If brother Marcus could clean up his act, he might soon pass him up- not only in passing yards, but also jersey sales.

2. Hines Ward, Pittsburgh Steelers-
This is the only one I completely agree with. He’s always smiling, loving the game. How can you not want his jersey? Congratulations on the SBXL MVP..

and finally… who else, but-
1. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers-
My God. What more do I have to say? And what more does he have to do?…
