Help me decide which minor league jersey to buy?

[TracyThom]

I hope this is the appropriate forum for this thread. Anyway, I've unloaded a bunch of stuff on Ebay, (including a game used Huntsville Stars jersey and autographed Stars bat, search for it) so I should have enough money to pick up a couple of minor league jerseys of our affiliates. I need some opinions. I'll have enough money for 2 jerseys. Help me decide which I should get.

 

Choice #1, Nashville Sounds

 

www.nashvillesounds.com/s...tegoryId=8

 

Lots of great options here. I like both replica Braun jerseys as well as the black Prince replica jersey. However, I could pay $15 more and get a game-worn jersey from Mike Rivera, Chad Moeller (YES!), or others like Mitch Stetter or Ozzie Chavez. I'd be wearing the jersey, and not have it on display.

 

Choice #2, West Virginia Power

www.wvpower.com/catalog/c...es/68.aspx

 

My main options are the 2 jerseys at the bottom of the page, the gray or the white. I'm leaning towards the white because it readily identifies it as a minor league baseball jersey where the gray could be confused for a Mountaineer jersey.

 

Choice #3: Huntsville Stars

www.huntsvillestars.com/store/

 

The jersey is kind of bland, and I'd have to buy a cap to go with it. The Navy Aftermath cap is cool looking though.

 

Choice #4: Beloit Snappers

www.snappersbaseball.com/...up=jerseys

 

I still support the Snappers even though they are no longer a Brewers affiliate. I like the green jersey, as well as the game used BP jerseys. However, I don't want to spend money on a Snappers jersey if the team is going to be gone from Beloit in a year or 2.

 

Unfortunately, no jerseys for the Manatees or the Helena Brewers. The H-Brewers normally sell game used jerseys at the end of the year, so I'll wait for that. Last year I picked up a really cool camoflage jersey they sold. Great customer service from the guys in Helena, too.

 

Choices, choices, choices. Anyone have opinions?

i got the red braun replica jersey. I really like it and got alot of compliments when i wore it to the game last sunday.

Of all those listed, I like the white Power jersey best, followed by the Sounds game-worn red BP top and the Stars jersey.

 

I have a game-worn sounds BP jersey of Nelson Cruz, and it's pretty nice, but definitely game worn. I also have a red/black Sounds jersey with Sarfate's name and number on it. It was 50.00 when I bought it last year, plus another 20 to have his name and number sown on, but I think it looks sharp.

 

The jersey that I really want is the one that Ben Hendrickson wore on the Huntsville Stars media guide back in 2002 or 2003. I haven't been able to find one of those, however.

I agree, the White Braun Jersey or the black Prince jersey. I almost liked the game worn collared retro jersey with the simple"N" on the front, but it probably won't have the style effect you wish to throw down.

I'm waiting to see what number LaPorta gets so I can buy a custom jersey t-shirt from Brewers.com.

Brevard County. Will Inman. It'll be a classic.

On the topic of Inman is his first name Will or Wil?

I'm getting close to deciding until I showed my wife this:

She then asked me, "Why would you want a 'White Power' jersey?" No dear, it's a Power jersey that happens to be white. I wonder if the management at West Virginia thought about how bad that looks.

Here is the Stars jersey I was talking about wanting. This was from the 2002 season.

Get a game-worn Salome jersey....if you're 5'7" and built like the trunk of a sequoia.
