Novelty jerseys

The final category of our summer jersey breakdown is for non-NBA novelty jerseys. These come from the world of entertainment and in general convey a sense of fun

MonstarsYou can talk at length about movie soundtracks of the 1990s. You probably have said something to the effect of “Yeah, sure ‘Kiss From a Rose’ is a big hit, but the real standout track from the Batman Forever soundtrack is Method Man’s ‘The Riddler’.”

Tune Squad: It really depends on which character’s jersey you choose to wear. Here’s a quick break down:

  • Michael Jordan – You’re a dork.
  • Bugs Bunny – You think you’re fun, but you’re boring.
  • Daffy Duck – You’re a second-banana who wants to be the focal point, but if you were you’d fail miserably.
  • Elmer Fudd – Your friends don’t know if you actually like them or not.
  • Foghorn Leghorn -If you’re at a party, you’re the one throwing the party.
  • Pepe Le Pew – You’re a creep.
  • Lola Bunny – You identify with under-appreciated talent.
  • Porky Pig – You think you’re afraid of failure, you’re actually afraid of success.
  • Sylvester – A lot of people say “nice to meet you” to you, even though you’ve met them, like, three times already.
  • Taz – You’re a maniac.
  • Tweety Bird – You’re a sweetheart.
  • Wile E. Coyote – If you want some advice, you should stop feeling so sorry for yourself.
  • Yosemite Sam – This jersey matches the mud flaps on your pickup truck.
  • Bill Murray – You’re not as cool as you think you are.
  • Wayne Knight – You are twice as cool as Bill Murray jersey person thinks they are.

Flint Tropics: This jersey may be from the movie Semi-Pro, but make no mistake about it, you’ll be quoting Anchorman all day.

Sidney Deane Style String Tank Top: Technically, not a jersey, but if you’re dressed like Sidney (or Billy) from White Men Can’t Jump you’re making the same statement. That statement: You will go to Sizzler if someone brings it up as an half-ironic/half-sincere idea for a celebration dinner.

Teen Wolf: If you’re wearing it earnestly, you’re great and we want to be your friend. If you’re wearing it ironically please don’t ever come around us again. Teen Wolf forever.

Bel-Air Academy: If we ever need a two minute and nineteen-second head start to run away from you, we know all we need to do is say the words “in West Philadelphia.”

Air Bud: There’s nothing in the rules that say you shouldn’t wear this jersey. But please don’t.
