Why is his name in yellow and not white???
It is a huge peeve of mine.
When I was in my early 20s my parents gave me my first authentic jersey for my birthday.
This is before the internet and it had to be special ordered through a local sports memorabilia store.
It took about 3 months to get it.
I couldn't wait for it to arrive. I mean every day it didn't show up was killing me.
Finally we got the call that it had come in. My parents brought it to me to open and I was stoked.
I ripped open the package to see my authentic Bettis 75th anniversary edition jersey and boom!
It looked amazing. That is until I turned it around.
My dad saw my face and said what's wrong???
I said they made it wrong!!!
The name is in yellow and it's supposed to be white!
He told me I must be wrong because there's no way they made it wrong and it was ridiculous tho think the name wouldn't be the same color as the numbers.
I said do you honestly think I don't know what the Rams jersey looks like after all my years of watching (since the late 70s).
Without the internet I had to bust out my football card collection to prove it.
He was a bit shocked that it was as I claimed it was and proceeded to take it right back over to the store and demand they order a new one.
The next one I got 6 weeks later was right. 😊
Anyway, since then anytime I see a knockoff jersey with the yellow lettering, it drives me nuts. 😎
