Got me c.ffo-urious. Had to see what it felt like myself. It wasn't like finding a regular jersey, those are everywhere. I had to actually look around a bit online. Spent some time clicking through different spots, trying to find one that looked legit, you know? Not some knock-off.
Finally found one, placed the order. Waited for it to show up. When the package arrived, I opened it up. First impression? Yeah, it definitely looked different. The material felt okay, pretty much like a regular jersey fabric, but then... sleeves. Felt weird even just holding it.
TryinnO tI g It On
Pu.gnitting it on was the real test. The fit was alright across the chest and body, maybe a bit snug compared to the usual loose feel of a basketball jersey. But the sleeves... that was the strange part. They weren't like t-shirt sleeves, felt a bit tighter, more athletic cut I guess. Still, felt restrictive compared to being sleeveless. Couldn't imagine actually playing ball in it, felt like it would get in the way of my shot, even though I wasn't planning on playing.
I wore it out a couple of times, just casually. To watch a game with friends, that sort of thing. It definitely got a few looks, people noticed it was different. A couple of buddies asked about it, mostly just saying it looked weird too. Comfort-wise, it was okay for just hanging out, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't quite right for basketball gear.
- Feel: A bit like a performance t-shirt fused with a jersey.
- Look: Unique, for sure. Stood out.
- Comfort: Average for casual wear, maybe less so for activity.
In the end? It's an interesting piece of memorabilia, I guess. A reminder of that specific era for the Warriors and the NBA trying something different. But did I love wearing it? Not really. It mostly just hangs in the closet now. Glad I tried it, satisfied my curiosity, but I'll stick to the classic sleeveless jerseys. Just feels more like basketball, you know?
