A throwback jersey is a sports jersey that replicates the jersey of a team or a player from the past. People love throwback jerseys because they remind the fan, regardless of age, of the golden age of their favorite time and team. Sports legends are honored with a throwback jersey for the time while they were at their playing prime.
A team throwback jersey reminds the fans of a year or era when their team was on the top of the standings. Buying a throwback jersey of a player who used to play on a particular team but who has since been traded to a different team seems to be especially popular, perhaps because it conjures up a bit of sports nostalgia.
Part of the appeal of the throwback jersey is its retro look. The jerseys are fashioned of the style, design and color scheme of the team during a particular time period. Their seemingly out-of-fashion look makes them just that - fashionable. The music industry has been partially responsible for the popularity of the throwback jersey; many recording artists have worn them on their videos, making them fresh and appealing to the crossover lovers of both music and sports.
Fans can buy a throwback jersey for many different U.S. sports teams or individuals; football, baseball, hockey, and basketball throwback jerseys are especially popular. In addition to being able to purchase a throwback jersey, sports enthusiasts can also buy retro caps, hats, uniforms and warm up jackets. Sports apparel manufacturers are finding a strong market for the throwback jersey. By some estimates, as much as 20% of the NBA apparel sales come from the sale of throwback jerseys.
Besides being trendy, many collectors buy a particularly popular throwback jersey as an investment. Some of the most desirable player or team throwback jerseys fetch up to hundreds of dollars - and the expectation is that the market value will continue to climb in the years to come. Whether as an investment, or simply as an homage to a favorite player or team, the purchase of an throwback jersey shows everyone around you that you have great sports - and fashion - sense.

Get the throwback jersey mug.The reason that will be given when god is asked why he wiped out the human race.
A TV show with a cast full of losers with room temperature IQ's who like to run around Fist Pumping, which they do so they have lots of practice when they go home to fuck their mothers.
The male cast members are on steroids because they are too lazy to build muscle the old fashioned way and the females have Breast enhancements to make up for the fact they have nothing in their brains and no soul.
Most define themselves as Guidos and Guidettes but act more likely Puerto Ricans with an inferiority complex.
They like to give themselves Nicknames like J-wow, Snookie and the Situation but should choose something more appropriate such as Cum dumpster, Oompa loompa and Closet Case.
This Show is going to be used as Evidence when MTV is put on trial for destroying American culture.

a jersey speed bump is a pedestrian who is not paying attention J-walking while you are driving causing you not to notice them and eventually hitting them., It can also be used for someone taking too damn long to cross the street.
You're driving in your car with a buddy, all of a sudden you hear a loud noise and feel a huge bump., When your buddy asks "what the hell was that?", you can simply reply "Oh, just another Jersey Speed Bump."

Get the jersey speed bump mug.A show on MTV that reveals to the world why New Jersey residents hate Bennies. Unlike them, we don't say New Joizy or call it the Jersey Shore. It's either the shore if you live in Jersey, or if you're a local, the beach. The show features 8 guidos and guidettes. They have never been to the shore, and some of them have never even been to New Jersey. But to them, Seaside is Heaven on Earth. Watch as they get drunk, get laid, and trash Seaside Heights. While your at it, maybe you can learn a couple things about tanning, fist pumps and hair gel.
Kid: Hey man, did you watch Jersey Shore last night?
Other Kid: Hell yea dude, right after my tan. *FIST PUMP*

Get the Jesel mug.A show revolving around possible government conspiracies, with Jesse Ventura.
And it's the worst comedy show out there.
Jesse Ventura shows how utterly ignorant he is on this show. One minute he's asking questions over and over again to scrawny researchers, and when they answer his question he gives the half assed excuse of "Not allowing him to speak." Jesse's extremely serious "cool-guy persona" is incredibly bleak and blunt.
Jesse believes that the government is responsible for everything, and you'll be damned if you believe otherwise. He actually believes that the John Lennon murder was a conspiracy, 9/11 conspiracy, fuck, even Area 51. AREA MOTHERFUCKING 51. He'd believe anything that you tell him if it involves the government covering it up. I can't wait for him to do a piece on Maddox's "Unfastened Coins: The Titanic Conspiracy" satirical parody on Loose Change.
The biggest fault in all of this is his logic. His logic is along the lines of "Oh, the government did it, but they covered up any proofs!" Good point, fucktard, but guess what: If you claim that this definition of you was really mandated by the government and they covered up any proof of it, I CANNOT argue otherwise. Even if I did come to you face to face.

Get the Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura mug.One of kind. Truly the most amazing type of woman. She cares. She listens. She loves like no other. She loves life. She is sweeter then most. Her heart is so big. She is a loyal companion. Sometimes misunderstood but never seizes to amaze. Her sense of humor is captivating and her charisma is enchanting. She is a genuine friend. Explosive in imagination. A true romantic. The kind of women you wife up. Her laugh is contagious. Her eyes gleam in the sunlight. Her mind is beautiful and she is beautiful.
