You\'re only an ass if the player who\'s sweater you are wearing is still playing for another team in the leauge.

I think that a rangers jagr shirt would be fine, though if you were to get a russian one that would be pretty hardcore.

Maybe ass is the wrong word; I feel bad for people I see at bruins games wearing throton or samsonov shirts.

Maybe you\'d be more of a "haha, look at that dude, he needs to buy a new shirt"

[Wolfman]

I feel bad for anyone wearing Bruins gear, period.  

Haha, I go to 2 or 3 B\'s games a year just on principle, but they have a long way to go for me to buy merchandise!

Let\'s be realistic here.  Sweaters are not cheap, especially the personalized ones.  So, I see no problem in wearing an older sweater.  That being said, my wife, will not be caught dead in her old Gomez sweater, but chastises me for wearing my Rockie or Scout sweater.  Go figure.

This coming from Mr. Boston fan?

I get "looks" wearing my sweaters (Bourque, Bergeron, Thomas) around. However, I dare you to find a crowd of 100 people in the greater boston area none of whom are wearing any type of merchandise from the red sox or the patriots.

Agreed, thats why I changed my remark to "haha, look at that dude."

Where do you get your scout sweater? Are there more where it came from?

My Ray Bourque Sweater would like to have a word with you

I found the scout sweater in a little thrift shop in Lawrence, KS while visitin my brother at KU over 10 years ago.  As a Devils fan, that was the find of a lifetime.

As a KC fan, I need to get one.

I hope you could tell that I was joking.  Seriously, I actually gotta give props to anyone wearing B\'s gear...you know they\'re a good fan of the Bruins if they have any gear.  Red Sox and Patriots and now Celtics gear is sooooo trendy.  That\'s what happens when a team is really good.  Bruins gear is just like Breakfast gear: you don\'t have to have any to be a fan, but if you do have any and proudly wear it, then you are definitely a fan.

Nice, love the classic sweaters.  They seem to be more prevalent in hockey than any other sport, just another cool quirk of hockey fans.  I would have bought a Bourque sweater back in the day if I had any money, but his tenure with the team was when I was age -1 through 20!

I hate those Red Sox hats, they have been trendy for years and years and years.  Every douche in Boston has one.  You definitely see plenty of miscellaneous people out here with Red Sox hats, even those who likely do not have any Boston connection (illegal immigrant landscaping in a Red Sox hat, for example).
