You may not know it, but that Celtics jersey you wore to the game last night, or that you’ll wear to the bar tomorrow night says a lot about who you are. It says a lot about your lifestyle. A lot about what makes you tick.

hey where’s powe! that’s the jersey I want.
p.s. I rock a posey home jersey and a ‘toine away jersey depending on the game (and I’m sorry to say not a single thing in the posey description applies to me)
its hard to categorize someone who would rock the posey/toine combination. it wasn’t something i was prepared for. they are polar opposites when it comes to team play. but props for having two jerseys that rotate from game to game. i like that. what makes for a toine game vs a posey game? and have you ever tried opening a bottle with a lighter? if you roll with posey it’s probably an innate ability that you’ve yet to discover.
I shamelessly fail everytime I attempt the lighter bottle opening situation - it’s really sad. many people have tried to explain it to me and I always end up cutting my finger on on the bottle cap.
as for the ‘toine/posey situation - I rock the ‘toine when I’m lacking confidence before a game…’toine always had confidence…plus the ‘toine jersey keeps it real. and when I need someone scrappy as my guardian player, I roll with the pocketful of posey. - basically I can’t go wrong.
also - I generally wear ‘toine to games and posey at home - the posey jersey is white and I’m pretty sure I’ll spill nacho cheese on it if I wear it to games. the ‘toine jersey has been through the ringer already.
and while I’m at it, I also have a williams jersey from a few years ago. I don’t wear that one at all - I just look at it longingly.
