Ahh Black Friday, the one day of the year that people are dumb enough to trample their fellow human beings in order to get cheap plastic. My contempt at the post-Thanksgiving rush aside, there are some really great holiday deals out there today. MLB.com is having a sale on customizable jerseys today - 40% off.
If you've been thinking about making one of these anyway, now is the time. We'd suggest avoiding some clever nickname on the back - just stick with your own last name funnyman - and don't be ridiculous by picking the number 69, it makes you look like a teenager. Stick with a classic number like 10, or 7 or, I don't know - 21. For the one customizable jersey that I own, I decided to stick with the year of my birth.
The advantage of these jerseys is that you will never be traded. Modern teams tend to tweak jerseys every couple of years - but a standard customized home jersey should last you longer than that of your favorite player.
Happy shopping!
