SMH bruh! |
Grown men need to look like grown men even at the game playa. Let me be specific so there's no confusion in who I'm talkin' about. I’m speakin' to two sets of individuals. Those cats that are at least thirty years old and those that have children that are at least ten years old. I need to be specific because boyz will be standin' around talkin' about, "He ain't talkin' to me!" Cat's less than thirty without kids are still tryin' to figure out who and what they wanna be so I give them a pass. Let's be honest that's a very small club anyway.
A man that is at least thirty is what the ole timers call “A Fully Grown Man”. Regardless of whether he has children or not, it isn’t permissible for him to walk around lookin' like a child. A man with children that are at least ten years old shouldn’t leave the house dressed like his kids regardless of his age. While we’re at it let’s throw in the flat bib baseball hats and the saggin' pants too.
I’m not sayin' that a grown man can’t represent his favorite team. However, that’s why they make team apparel like dry fit polo’s, T-shirts, jogging suits etc. It’s definitely OK to put on your team logo baseball cap as well. Just not the flat bib joint bruh. Here’s why this is so important to understand. Once you become a grown man, you have to assume the look of a grown man even on game day bruh. You can't leave the crib lookin' like you're on your way to high school bruh. I’ve got an 18 year old son that won't even put on a jersey now.
Although that look can be very fashionable and sometimes impressive but it's childish to say the least. I’m speakin' specifically about the hats, jerseys and matchin' sneakers. My son used to rock that type of gear! If I walk around lookin' like a kid (even on game day) people won’t take me seriously. I am somebody's father, so therefore, I’ve got to look like a father. I can’t afford to look like one of my son's boyz and we're hangin' out in the same places. If you and your son leave the crib rockin' the same gear ya'll look like you're about to holla at the same chicks!
I think back to how embarrassin' would it have been when I was growing up if my dad were rockin' the same gear that my friends and I were wearin'. What if I were in the basement with my boyz back in '83 and we were rockin' the shell toe Adidas, Kangols and dookie ropes and my ole man came downstairs with them joints on too? How crazy would he look bruh and how dumb would I feel?

My son and I when he was 12 and rockin' jerseys! |
I’ve got several friends that have played professional sports includin' basketball, football and baseball. They’re all retired now but it wasn’t uncommon for them to think that people that wore jerseys looked stupid. You can’t be a grown man wearing another man's name of your back. I equate the guy that puts on another man's jersey to a woman that puts on her man's shirt after sex and walks around the house smellin' it.
As much as I liked Eric Dickerson when I was in high school. There is NO WAY I would have put on his jersey, even when I was eighteen years old for those same reasons. Maybe because I was an athlete and it just seemed silly to me to rock another cats jersey.
Lastly, what kind of grown woman wants to show up somewhere with a child dressed up like a grown man. Ya’ll catch that one later. If your hanging out with women that don’t mind you wearing jerseys. Then they’re probably dressed up like their teenaged daughters and you guys are meant for one another.
Holla At Ya Boy!

They’re many launched onto at this point but it really wasn’t odd to help them to imagine that those who applied jerseys viewed dumb. People can’t become a harvested male using a different person's label of this returning.
