Groomsman Jerseys
So after trying forever to think of an interesting present for my groomsmen, I think I'm going to try to get them some customized jerseys.
And now I'm trying to find my way around on these boards to ask...has anyone done this before? Anyone know any good places to go for good deals on something like this?
Thanks for any help.

Re: Groomsman Jerseys
This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
Try Eastbay as well. I bought myself a jersey with no name or numbers on it, and for my birthday MH brought it to the team store at the Devils' arena and they put my name on the back. Eastbay is reliable.
Another option might be to buy a jersey on eBay and get someone to iron on the letters and numbers. That all depends on the seller, though ... I bought a Red Sox jersey from eBay once and it was incredibly fake. But I have found pretty good jerseys at Marshall's/TJ Maxx once in a while.
There's a Sports board on the Nest, so maybe they know of another good website. For recommendations on local shops in your area, ask your local Knot or Nest board. Or do a search on Yelp.com.
[QUOTE]Unless you're getting each one a jersey he doesn't have of a player he likes, I really think it's something a guy would side-eye in a huge way.

To be fair, most of the guys I hang out with have a personalized jersey, including my husband, and I always see a ton of these when I go to hockey games. I don't think it's a very unusual thing.
Most of my friends and MH have their last names on their jerseys - some of them even have multiple jerseys. I've seen people at Devils games wearing jerseys that say "Santa," "Cowbell Guy" and "D. Puddy" :)
But I definitely agree to make sure that each guy would really like this, and if you're getting a real player's name on the jersey make sure it's a player that he likes.
<strong>ETA, as a response to people saying not to do this:</strong> MH and our guys friends get together for nearly every Giants game during the football season, and they all wear a jersey. MH and I always wear our hockey jerseys when we go to hockey games, and so do our other friends when we go with them. We all wore our Giants jerseys to the victory parade in NYC when they won the Super Bowl a few years back.
MH and the other guys don't wear jerseys as a regular shirt when they're out grocery shopping or hanging out or whatever, so maybe that's why a lot of you are saying that guys won't wear jerseys? Or do you mean that you think they won't wear jerseys even on a game day?

[QUOTE]Well, that's why I said (or at least I thought I said) that if everyone LOVES a sport, do it. If some of them like it, only get it for those that like it. Ok, maybe I didn't say that....damn it!

<div>I can understand why it could be hard to believe that all of a groom's GM would appreciate a gift like that the same, but knowing my FI's guys (and all of my girls, too), they'd all love it, so I guess I'm just going off of what I know :)</div><div>
</div><div>It's cool, though :)</div>
