Jersey Fouls
If you're a Puck Daddy reader (you're not? shame on you) you'll be familiar with his ongoing "Jersey Fouls" series. It's awesome, here's the latest. So I had the idea awhile back to do the same, after spotting some unusual/awesome/bizarre jerseys around the Toyota Center. Enjoy (and if I've posted a picture of you and you're a "foul" it's all in fun, not offense intended).
Words made into a "number"? But it's Jimmy, totally NOT a jersey foul.
From reading Puck Daddy's Jersey Fouls, it seems there's an insane number of people who put the number 69 on a jersey with some choice word(s) for the nameplate. As seen in Tri-Cities:
How fitting...
My personal favorites are these two. +10000000 for awesomeness (and ass-pat to Sister for getting the photo!)
Finally, there are a number of recent jerseys (last couple seasons) with "Kolzig" and "Barnes" on them. They're foul-worthy as neither Olie nor Stu played a game with the Americans in those jerseys. But do these great folks get a pass because Kolzig and Barnes are current owners of the team?
So, dear readers, Pass or Fail? Are the Kolzig and Barnes jerseys "fouls"?

LOVE IT! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
(I think the people who put players from a decade ago on new jerseys are less of a foul than those who put their own names. IMHO.)
Don't dog my Barnes jersey. Given as gift from the Barnes family while being treated for cancer in Seattle. Not a flattering picture either. Haha. I would have to agree peoples personal names don't belong.
@Btown--no dogging :)
Like with Jimmy's--an outsider wouldn't know the story of Jimmy (or of your Barnes jersey) so it can be seen as a "foul".
Like I said, it's all in fun, not really mocking your jersey at all :)
No worries! Nothing hurt here. Why would one want classless on a jersey? I remember seeing some 420 Stoner jerseys around back in the day... I would call foul. Gotta love creativity though!
