Popular Post Warfish Posted July 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2020 I'm a big mo-fo. 6'5" (well, maybe 6'4" nowdays, fat is heavy after all). 400 pounds. Or in the ballpark. Yes, I'm a big, fat man, yes it's bad for me, and yes I should change it. Got it. My gripe: It is now well over a year since the Jets changed their uniforms, and as of yet we still do not have a 5x Option on their online shop. 5x and 6x used to be something they carried regularly in the old uniforms, and still can be picked up for all manner of nobody players in the old scheme even today. Now look, I get it, the healthy folks here will roll their eyes, make a fat joke, and move on. But let's also be clear, I am hardly the only 5x or 5Tall size NFL Football Fan on earth. What's the story? Is Nike simply not doing bigger than 4x for Jerseys anymore? I notice this same issue for Nats Jerseys now that Nike is doing those too, nothing bigger than 4x. I may not be the biggest fan of the new dude, but I have always proudly worn the gear on gamedays down here in DC. Sure, the "men don;t wear another man's name" thing is a thing, and you're entitled to that, but alot of feel differently and still do wear Jerseys on gameday. I have to wonder this far along if I'll simply be locked out of wearing teh new duds for good (because lets be clear, I'm not going to get materially shorter or less broad in the chest/gut anytime soon). Personal grip, feel free to ignore, just curious is this is a Nike thing maybe, since I'm seeing it in other sports gear they do as well. /fat jokes commence, but be warned, Crusher is like me, albeit a shorter me, he knows me personally, and we both can sit on top of you if you insult us too hard. 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Embrace the Suck Posted July 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2020 They're saving the material for masks ?. 6x guys are going to have to go vegan and drink water for a bit to get down to a 3x. Every 6x jersey provides enough material to supply a small village in a 3rd world country with masks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazingly, when I did play (oh, 25 years ago now) I was a relatively svelte 285 pound WR/H-Back. It was about those baseball hands, all those years playing baseball meant I could catch, unlike alot of kids in H.S. lol. And I moved pretty good for a big dude. Man, those days are loooooong gone now. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand but i WILL stand. I WILL fight for you and your equality. You can count on me to be an ally. Whether they are microaggressions like fat jokes, or overt discrimination in the form of unfair seat placement at airplanes, restaurants - i WILL fight for you. I will give you my chair and be your shield. Trust me, i'm a good guy. SILENCE is compliance, and i will NOT be silent. I will make lots of noise on YOUR behalf because i'm an awesome human being, fully committed to making AMERICA a more equal country. In the meantime, i will buy you a few twinkies and a deluxe pack of Doritos, while giving an order to my tailor for a custom triple XL Jets jersey. Stay strong, my friend. We're in this together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
