These
High Profile Players have Cornered the Throwback Jersey
Market!
Whether
it’s basketball, football, baseball or hockey, professional
sports figures are way into the throwback
jersey scene. Many
have established collections of the ever-popular throwback
jerseys that would rival local sporting goods stores.
The
reasons for collecting throwbacks are as different as the sports
they play. Some for
fashion – they are attracted by the colors and designs. Others for what they represent – a tribute to teams and
players from past seasons.
Whatever
the reason, throwback jerseys are hot with the professional
sports crowd. Milwaukee
Bucks’ Mo Williams admits to a collection of more than 20
throwback jerseys. But
this is nothing compared to his former teammate DeShawn
Stevenson of the Orland Magic.
Stevenson
has stopped counting the number of throwbacks in his collection.
But he spent more than $100,000 last year buying
throwback jerseys – you do the math!
That would be over 300 jerseys if they averaged $300
apiece. That would
take quite a closet to hang them all.
Both
Williams and Stevenson look for throwback jerseys that make a
connection –
favorite teams, special players, and special moments in history.
Kobe
Bryant, Lakers star, has more than 50 throwback jerseys in his
collection. His
pride and joy is his dad’s jersey, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant,
form his days with the 76ers.
San
Antonio Spurs’ forward Malik Rose owns a closet full of throwback
jerseys. One of his
favorites – a New Orlean Saints Archie Manning jersey.
Let’s
not forget our MLB collectors, like Cliff Floyd of the New York
Mets. Floyd has
over 100 throwback jerseys in his closet.
His collection includes throwbacks from retired stars
such as Moses Malone, Billy Cunningham, Oscar Robertson, and Joe
Bryant.
This
list has just scratched the surface of the sports stars that
hold these throwback jerseys in high esteem.
Throwbacks are a collectors dream – functional and
fashionable!
