How many volleyball shirts do you really have, , we want you to count them!

53 clean T's, about 7 more dirty ones in the hamper, 3 sweatshirts and one jacket. And one pair of embroidered champ sweatpants.

Most are participant t's, some given from VBLI and moderators, some championships shirts, 2 championship sweatshirts and the jacket also.

I'm kinda curious....I'll have to count them when I get home from work.

I must say though....I really liked the VBLI shirt I got....very original, since it was some other color then white.
It is black and on the front it has a volleyball and VBLI.com, Long Island, NY
then on the back it says; "Got Game?"
It's one of my favorite tees!

I think the better question is:

How many of you are dorky enough to wear your volleyball shirts to play volleyball in?

This is the same as Harley riders gearing up in Harley Davidson clothing in order to ride their bike. Or the dancers in the other scene which I'm a part of (swing dancing) weaering their T-shirts from dance workshops out to dance in.

We know you like the activity. That's why you're there. Wearing the shirt is just sorta goofy.

FWIW, I've got plenty. I give most of them away to Goodwill or whatever, but there's still a dozen or so in my closet that I occasionally wear to non-volleyball events.

I had to have had nearly a hundred before I went throguh and threw away everything I dont wear anymore. All my old uniforms, warms ups, you name it, if i didnt wear it i chucked it, now some poor homeless guy is walking around with my last name on his back, and i have a small drawer full of just sportime and volleyball in the park shirts.

Depends... I wear my "Riverhawk Volleyball" gear a lot, I run the team and everything that goes with it. So I'm sporting my own goods and proud of it. No you won't catch me wearing my "Cedardale Champs" at Cedardale - but heck I dunno if it's THAT cheesey.

Though I will admit I find it funny when you goto tryouts somewhere, or run them. Kids still believe wearing your team shirt from last year makes you stand out - that is kinda corny...

All your analogies made me think of my other favorite. Going to a concert and seeing people wear the shirt of the band their seeing - the ones they just sold at the merc stand. So 9 thousand others have the same one one.

When you are the tourney director handing out 300 shirts at a time, it feels good. Then when I go to take a pee at a concert and see one of my shirts there standing at a urinal a couple spots away, it feels even better. I may not know the person, but know he was at my tourney and still likes the shirt enough to wear it out in public with my logo on it.
I'll shoot pics of some of the artwork so you know why people like them.
