What your summer basketball jersey says about you
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
Monstars: You 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.
