| Caps <a href=http://www.osuwrfc.com/only.html>christian louboutin outlet</a> Fans Remain
Every time I go down this road, I get a few predictable responses. Some say I'm encouraging coarse fan behavior, and contributing to the increasing crassness of professional sporting arenas. media, are unnaturally obsessed with Western Pennsylvania. And some say that anyone who does any of these things, at a minimum, is wasting his or her money.
And here's what I say: for better or worse, if you have a cheap camera and a willingness to wander concourses and talk to strangers before games or during breaks in play, your time <a href=http://www.centurionsmc.org/time.html>red bottom heels</a> is best spent at a Caps game. I don't know why, but right now the most creative fandom energy in this region is being put to use creating strange and/or amusing Caps clothing.
Jeff wore a black "Pens Suck" 78 jersey in the old color scheme for nearly a decade, before finally getting a red "Pens Suck" model last year. Though his venom didn't seem quite as pronounced as that of Mike Gregorio, pictured below.
They had talked about such a jersey in advance, with Mike choosing "00" to be more original than the 87 and 8 models bearing Crosby hatred. He gave the expected reasons for disliking Sid the Kid: he's not oldschool enough, he talks too much, he's "just a crybaby," Mike said. I asked why he wouldn't rather express himself by wearing an actual Caps jersey; "already got 'em," he said.
"Do you mind if I say you have the most awesome jersey in the world?" asked a random fan, interrupting us. "Do you mind if I take a picture of the back of your jersey?"
"Don't make his head any bigger," pleaded Mike's friend, who has seen a lot of this in the month since Mike received the sweater. Mike owns four gameworn Caps jerseys, and several other shirts, but the "Suck It" model has become his everyday apparel.
"This is something that, if need be, I don't mind if I get some blood on it," he said. I'm not sure if he was joking. Actually, I'm pretty sure he wasn't. I don't endorse fanonfan violence. Blood makes me twitch.
Then there was Scott Roebuck, whose jersey was supposed to pay tribute to all of the Young Guns: Ovechkin, Backstrom, Green and Semin. The first two occupy the back, and the arms were supposed to have <a href=http://www.leffs.com/best.html>cheap nfl jerseys authentic</a> a "52" and a "28," to complete the quartet. <a href=http://www.fingerlakestrivia.com/handbags.html>michael kors</a> But the company forgot, apparently, so the arms say "8" and "19." Oh well. Why this particular approach?
"I didn't want just an Ovechkin one," Scott told me. "Everyone and their mom has an Ovechkin one. So I wanted Backstrom, but I didn't want just Backstrom, either, because Ovechkin's our best player. So I figured I'd do both."
Who says you can't have it all? Anyhow, do the first two jerseys here cause snickers of delight, or worries about the decline of American civilization?
