Notes:
On parting with old jerseys:
Today I gave away a lot of my old jerseys that I don't wear often. Some of those jerseys represent seasons of hard work, success, struggle, injury, disappointment, fulfillment, etc. A few of those jerseys had (and still have) a lot of meaning for me. But at the end of the day, I have accumulated a ridiculous number of jerseys and I am very happy to donate a few to a greater cause.
Other Jersey Notes:
- As a piece of advice for younger players, you definitely don't need to buy tournament jerseys in most cases. You will attend more than 10 tournaments in a single year of college+club, and buying a jersey at every one becomes ridiculous very quickly. One exception to this might be your first college or club nationals tournament, worlds, or some other tournament of that nature.
- KB's theory is that college sophomores are the guys who are most in need of jerseys. They've been playing for a year or so and are all in, but they have not yet accumulated enough jerseys for practices and so on. So the best bang-for-your-buck donation is to distribute extras to sophomores. Invested rookies are a close second.
- Some simple jersey math: On most college and club teams your jersey kit will include a minimum of 1 white, 1 dark, 1 pair of shorts, and 1 long sleeve or reversible jersey. This does not include any multiples you might buy. So if you play a college season and a club season in one year, you are getting 2 of each at a minimum, per year. Throw in a random fun team jersey per year for good measure. Maybe you trade a few here or there, but that generally will be a wash in terms of quantity.
So after a 4 year college and club career, you will have accumulated a minimum of 8 white jerseys, 8 dark jerseys, 8 pairs of shorts, 4 fun tournament jerseys, and 8 long sleeves and/or reversibles. This is a rather large drawer-full of gear. So, don't buy that random fall tournament jersey, you'll have plenty of jerseys soon.
