Team Apparel Question

Posted by Pean
668 days ago


First of all, thanks to everyone who sent me gifts after the Giants win. What an amazing game!

Now that football is over, its time to turn my attention to the great game of baseball. After Johan Santana was traded to the New York Mets, I found myself in a minor pickle. I drafted Johan in my keeper fantasy baseball league in 2004 and quickly (and obviously) became quite a fan. He helped my team win two titles. I loved watching him pitch on MLB.com over the past few years. In 2005 I picked up a Twins T-shirt jersey that I occasionally like to rock during the summer.

Most people know that I am a big Yankees fan. I ask the ArmchairGM community -- Should I retire this T-shirt jersey? Turns out Johan will be on my team again this year, and I am still a fan of him. While I don't hate the Mets, its easy to get sucked into the "rivalry" between New York's two teams because half of my closest friends are Mets fans.

I think my biggest concern is, if you saw me walking down the streets of NY with a Twins Johan shirt, would you think I was a Mets fan? I can't think of anything worse than people thinking I was a Mets fan.

They probably would just think you're a stupid guy from Minnesota.

Do whatever you wanna do, Pean. It doesn't matter what other people think, at least that's one of my morals. If you really like Johan Santana, and you like him for who he is, not who he plays for, keep his jersey. If you like him differently because he plays for a different team, then retire the jersey. Hope it helps. Good luck with your extremely hard decision. ;)

Eh, I think you're cool to wear your shirt. More importantly this is another example of how people in the Northeast think the whole world revolves around them....damn yankees.

fack what other people think... where the shirt if you want to, or don't... but for my opinion, if the shirt is comfortable, I'd wear it

Exactly. Just read my comment above. It's the same concept, except the "if it's comfortbale, wear it" part.

People would think you're a Twins fan wearing an old shirt. A Mets fan wouldn't have a Santana shirt from Minnesota. When Johan was on the Twins, it's not like people knew he was eventually going to go to the Mets. And when the Mets got him, why would a Mets fan buy his Twins shirt, especially when getting the Mets shirt would be much easier.

I have a bigger problem with you wearing a TWINS jersey, American League confict of interest. Now that Johan is in New York, who cares.
