72 reasons to be excited about the Atlanta Hawks: #60 buying your first jersey

There has been a lot of talk recently about jersey's. And rightfully so, they are a dream from heaven sowed together into awesomeness. I used to mock people who wore jersey's. Making lame jokes like "I can't believe it. Jerry Stackhouse is in the food court! When did he grown hair and turn white?" I hope your not laughing. Because there is nothing funny about it.

My first jersey was Stacey Augman red. Cost $9.99 on ebay. I remember putting it on and just feeling better about myself.

Some of you may already have a Hawks jersey. Don't fear. There is still reason to be excited, a very real chance exists that Joe Smith will have "Joe Smith" on his jersey. I already have a piggy bank saving up.

And for those of you that might buy your first, it is going to feel weird. Your not going to when you should where it. Whether to go tucked or untucked. Well, let me tell you. Stop worrying. Slip on your Zaza or your Joe or a Horford and let the troubles of this world leave you. And they will. You own a Hawks jersey.

So lets have it, what was/will be your first jersey?

First and favorite

Mookie Blaylock – Black/Red from the 98 season. Some Army recruiter had a bunch of tickets and was trying to get me and a bunch of guys I went to school with to join, so I jumped in on it for the free game. We were playing the Raptors. Me and a friend of mine actually exchanged tickets with a guy standing outside for court level seat behind the goal for $15 (ours were upper level).

I don’t really remember why, but Mookie was my favorite player at the time. That jersey is still my favorite, not only because I loved the black jerseys, but mainly because its life with me was short-lived. It was stolen later that summer and I haven’t seen it since.

would that be crazy or what?

Of course, being the cool hip youngster then, I always carried cash and never kept receipts, so there’s no way we’ll ever know. But we could pretend. So..um…could I get my jersey back please? haha
