It’s still jersey week on SB Nation, and yesterday I tossed out this question:
Game Time readers, what is your favorite jersey that you own? Is it an obscure player? Is it a Clown Jersey that you wear unironically? Is it a classic from a bygone era?
— St. Louis Game Time (@StLouisGameTime) April 28, 2020
Tweet your favorites at us and at @hildymac and they can make it into a special Jersey Week post on GT.
And wow, did I get the responses. Not everyone sent in a Blues jersey as a response, so Twitter got a chance to see some beauties like this:
i have a tupelo t-rex jersey. although the photo is not mine it is what mine looks like.

Sometimes you have to make some tweaks to get it perfect:
My Pietrangelo made in Canada authentic. Bought at the team sale with some random prospect on it, stripped and re-customized over the summer. pic.twitter.com/TlVO865HbV

Some of you guys had a jersey tied into special memories of Blues history:

The hologram sticker’s still attached to this collector’s item:

Some folks have some serious throwbacks:
I have a Bassen and Lowry. I have a Ronning Canucks in black with the yellow org red flying skate

Even roller hockey represented - I, for one, believe this should be the Blues’ next third jersey:
This was a jersey was from a roller hockey team I played on that was founded on a Gametime message board from back in the day. pic.twitter.com/P9ahxaiqwu

Same.
I would do some borderline illegal things for a Sutter or Wickenheiser jersey from the Harry Ornest years. Home White https://t.co/hS105Ytfhq

Bozon is a good dude:
I have a couple autographed Philippe Bozon jerseys from his Geneva team. We had a mutual friend and he just kept sending me autographed stuff. Pretty cool guy to do that.

This is both awesome and somehow obscure. More people need to watch Youngblood. Great movie.
Got this a couple years ago... Peter Zezel's "Rossini" sweater from the movie Youngblood. pic.twitter.com/S0QoE3TyaT

A lot of kids are smarter than we give them credit for:
I own a magical pronger white clown jersey that he signed for me on my birthday. But the real magic comes from me being a very smart kid and having Jamie rivers also sign it a few months later.

And sometimes kids are forced to wear hideous clothes against their will:
This old beauty! My youth jersey 9-10 years old playing for this chip company and damn they had to pick these colours ! The socks were even worse pic.twitter.com/xUEqFJ9SuO

Blues Kris Russell Stan Musial jersey

Blues game worn Berglund jersey (yes, I will get crap for it)
And I wear a Berglund jersey to every game. And yes, I am aware I'll get crap for it
I really, really liked the Team North America sweaters:
A parayko North American jersey. I love the orange and black.

Of course jersey fouls suck, if you can admit that they’re a foul:

We can’t help what players we love, pt. 2:
I own 3 Murray Baron jerseys, one of which is not even a Blues jersey. Don’t ask me why, but the bear was my childhood favorite.

Naaaahhhhh, you don’t have to smudge it with sage. It’s fine.
I mean there’s my autographed Robby Fabbri Winter Classic sweater that is in no way cursed at all.

And people say no one ever wins contests!
I have a signed Vladimir Tarasenko jersey courtesy of the NHL17 Twitter campaign. Tweeted until my fingers bled!

If I missed your tweet or you didn’t get one in, please share your personal favorite jerseys in the comments. They don’t even have to be Blues jerseys - just show them off. Mine?
I have two:
I almost forgot my own submissions. One is obvious, the other... Well, if you can't laugh at yourself... pic.twitter.com/25RbJsZSqV

No shame on that second one.
