Names on kits?

[Garrick]

An important cultural question from an American over to all of you on the other side of the pond.

In Yankland, it's most common to get a player's name and number on any jersey or other sort of sporting memorabilia you'd buy. It's kind of a personal statement about which player on the team you identify with most.

You do see people get their own names on stuff, but that's pretty damn tacky to be honest. Having no name is very, very rare. Happens occasionally with association football clothing, but that's really it.

So, in advance of buying my first Everton shirt (the new home), what do y'all do?

(Personally, I'm thinking either no name, Oviedo, or Coleman. Haven't decided yet.)

you should get Barkley or mirallas mate

When I purchased my 2012/13 home shirt, I had Distin's name and number printed on it. A blank back wouldn't seem right to me.

 

[Groucho]

None. But tbh I don't buy the shirts these days.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Did it once. Got Arteta. First the tit changed his number then left the club, so never again

If I ever was going to put a name on my Everton shirt, there would have only been one choice.


Hibbert

I'd love someone to ask for Kroldrup.

I've got a player's name tattooed on my wang

when it's floppy it says "hard"

when it's hard it says "howard"

How hard?

 

[Fuleco]

If you're older than the player never get his name.

If you're old enough to pay for the shirt yourself don't get someone's name because it's weird.

when it's hard it says "howard"

mine says "shorty" when it's floppy

"shorty's bar and grill, chattanooga tennessee" when it's hard

Player.

Always a player.

Except when my bro and sis got me that boss vanilla kit for my 30th and spelt 'ijjy', 'IDJY'.

I've never been so fuming.

I'm too fat for a footy shirt...I retired my old Shaun Alexander Seahawks jersey for a Russell Wilson last November (b-day gift).

 

[Muzumbu]

still got my Fellaini kit collecting dust in my cupboard. One day maybe I will be able to wear it again. *hopes we sign fellaini for 5 mil"

Mate got his name on the back of his shirt once, and on a matchday people kept shouting his name out down Goodison Road.
