Diggin the throwbacks! Just ordered a Smith-Schuster for a coworker who recently lost his son. Can't wait to get it in the mail so I can sneak a peek at it, and then see the look on his face when he gets it. Hopefully it brings him some semblance of joy during a dark time in his life.

Thanks brother. I feel like when someone is down we should try to lift each other up. I don't want to know what it'd be like to lose your kid. So if a small gesture like throwing in with some buddies to get him a jersey puts a smile on his face, if only for a second, totally worth it.

I know it's not a popular choice, but these are still my favorite throwbacks.

Thank God !! I hate 'throw backs', but especially hated those damn stripes.
Happy to report I gave that coworker his jersey and a t-shirt tonight. He was totally taken aback, definitely didn't expect it. I think if more people would reach out to one another and just do nice things for each other like this, the world would truly have less depressed people. Sometimes you just need to do something for a friend to let them know that someone cares about them.
I also got pretty lucky! The first JuJu jersey they sent me was incorrect. The numbers were block style and correct, but the nameplate lettering was that of the current jerseys. The Pro Shop sent me an email telling me about it before I even received the jersey. They told me to keep it, and they would send me the correct jersey as soon as possible. So basically I got a free jersey out of the deal. Definitely not my size, so I'm gifting it to my youngest brother for his birthday next month.
