The Shark, The Fan and The Wardrobe

The start of the season is quickly approaching. Time to address that most imperative of concerns: what do you wear to games? I always find it interesting to see what fans where to games. It often tells me something about them, like how seriously they follow the team, if they got their seats as part of some corporate deal, if they're at the game to pick up guys or gals, etc.

Once I acquired jersey I started wearing it to every game. I subscribe to the "lucky jersey" theory. If the jersey is a winner, meaning you wear it to a game and your team wins, you keep wearing it to every other game you go to WITHOUT washing it, until you team loses OR it gets dirty. Superstitions can be reasonable. No one wants to sit next to a smelly fan. During the winter months I can be seen in a Santa hat, even past Santa season. If the hat is a winner, you just have to go with it.

I don't dress up for games at home, unless it's game 7 of round one of the playoffs and it's do or die. Then I make an exception.

So what about you? What do you wear to games and, if it's a "lucky" item, how often do you wash it? Do you also wear your items at home when watching games on TV?
