“Do We Have the Jersey’s Yet?”
If you have kids or if you’ve ever seen the movie “Are We There Yet?” you understand how repetitive it can be to hear this question repeated from the backseat over-and-over! Well that’s the way I have felt on occasion when getting e-mails, questions and text-messages to my phone asking me, “do we have the jersey’s yet?”
So I’m on vacation in Orlando, FL last week, enjoying well-deserved time-off with my family and away from the day-to-day activities I normally take part in, when I receive a call from Sean. He calls me, all excited, about the box he just received. Sean had just received the box of new jersey’s that have been long over-due.
Unfortunately, he was so excited and was obviously looking for someone to enjoy the first look at our new uni’s, but no one was available. Sean resorted to taking a picture of the jersey and sending it to me. Now, I was looking for someone wearing the jersey and instead he took a picture of it on a table and sent it to the smallest screen I own… my cell phone. So, unfortunately, I still wasn’t feeling that full excitement that Sean was feeling. The satisfaction of waiting so long for these jersey’s was just not fulfilled seeing it on my cell.
You have to understand, we’ve gone through so much to get these jerseys. New logo, bouncing from vendor to vendor, each time the shirt and design changed. Different pricing structures with hidden fees that drove the price of the uniforms out the roof and yet (speaking for myself) I never felt satisfied with any of those designs. I felt like we were just “settling” and I felt that we all deserved better.
So why do I tell you all of this? Because I finally got a chance to see the jerseys today at lunch and to say that I am elated is not doing it justice! I feel vindicated! I feel that we hit a home run, no a grand slam, right out of the park with these jerseys! They are everything that I had imagined they would be and more. They are here and they are ready to be donned this coming Friday and we can’t wait to share them with you!
I won’t put a picture of the jersey here (unless I get a hot chick with no undergarments willing to model it for us) because it just won’t do it justice! I’m speaking from experience of having to go almost a week with squinting to see the jersey on a cell phone.
So, get ready to play! We’re going for 4-straight and we’re unveiling the new jersey! Everyone try and get there a bit early to make sure you get your new jersey and so we can get some pictures for the site.
P.S. Red undershirts, only!
P.S.S. Sean wanted me to let all you Sox and (a few) Cubs fans know that the Boston Red Sox road hat looks sweet with the jersey! Personally, I’m going to continue wearing my Bulldogs Softball hat from last year until we get enough takers for a new Dogs hat or visor to go with the uni’s.
