I'd LOVE to own a jersey that I can effectively wear in the woods, b/c I like jerseys. They're VERY comfortable to wear. But effectiveness comes before looks in my book (thus the reason I shoot a blazer instead of a fancy milled autococker).

Well.... as you may know, your "woods" jersey is in the works. If you didn't know.... feel free to check out my site.

I don't generally wear a jersey during rec ball. Instead I wear army t-shirts (you know, those olive-brown ones). They are light, comfy, and cheap.

I have noticed more and more rec players wearing jerseys. I've also noticed all the kids looking for "Player X" jerseys.

NICE! This had me laughing so hard that other people in the office were looking in to see what the hell was going on in my cubicle.

Anyone remember the "I'm no one to be trifled with" line from The Princess Bride? LMAO!

I hope you wrote that with your tongue firmly in your cheek.

I wear a jersey. It even has my screen name on it!

Jersey's are a fun part of our game, but they are not necessary.

Hate to break it to you ...

Tourney palyers are not "upper crust", it's just a different game format.

If you think that time, money, and inclination is what makes you upper crust, then what many Scenario and rec players have accomplished is far greater than what most Tournament players have.

The "next step up" from rec or scenario IS NOT tournament airball play or Xball. Those are steps sideways into related but different games.

"Up" in rec or scenario would be runnning or promoting the games, getting involved in special teams, maybe owning a field/store, etc..

i have been playing for 2 1/2 to three years and i got my my first jersey...um...like a year ago or less. I have nothing against people that wear them or anything. I could really care less. Some people are just either really agaisnt them or with them. I have an avalanche jersey. I like to wear it cause i like how it looks, not because it makes me look like im on avalanche. A paintball jersey is just like any other sport jersey

I have a question, what you you people think about wearing pb pants or jerseys to school? i wear my jt pants and jerseys to school and some people think its dumb. i like to cause its comfortable. one kid that wears a tank top while paintballing to make him look "tough" calls me a poser for it. kids stupid

Like badinfo, I still wear camos like I did back in the mid 1980's.
I do not own a jersey, and do not want one.

Incidentally, excellent post Evil Bob! Kudos to you.

last summer a wore a long sleeved underarmor spandex shirt, i loved it, kept me nice and cool. I played in one local tourney and wore a white collared shirt and a black tie still had my underarmor underneath it though

Now THAT seems like an almost essential accessory for ANY playing weather. Wet clothes due to sweat make it miserable for the player whether in summer or winter.

Where can I get an underarmor spandex shirt and how much does it cost?

[bunkermaster10]

I wear a jersey ALWAYS. I wouldn't feel right with out one.... Most people wear jerseys IMO, I think its just not that many people here on AO do. Ask this on pbnation and it will be like "Duh" of course we do. I don't play rec ball really so that could be why.

Dye makes one. Since its DYE its probably gonna be a bit. But probably not to much.

I own like 5 jerseys... one being a Dynasty jersey and one is a jersey that i got signed by Bob Long, all of Miami Effect, Oakland Assassins, and some of Detroit Thunder. The others are tournament jerseys from past years and practice jerseys. But if you want to get into other things like some of you have... I have 4 pair of gloves, 6 goggles, 2 being my friends that left them at my house and they no longer play. 3 pair of pants, 3 harnesses, and a bunch of other numerous stuff. Granted we are under sponsorship from National Paintball Supply and we are going to all Empire gear this year so thats another reason for the numberous stuff.

[MarineRDNC]

BTW you can get Under Armour online, or at like Finish Line, Dick's Sporting Goods, Champs... anyplace that sells shoes or sporting equipment really. The long sleeve are about 50 bucks and the short sleeve are like 25 or 30 bucks.

I think it doesnt really matter, I play serious national level tourney ball and like I said half the time I look like a bum, and so do alot of other serious ballers lol.

I'm secure enough in my play that I'll wear what's most advantageous or comfortable or handy at the time, I don't need 10 super stylish jerseys to blow your face off in other words. I own more than my share of paintball jerseys and pants, dont get me wrong, but I really don't care that much.
