Team Jerseys

[GrumpyCatFace]

I’m looking at getting some nice shirts for my trip league team, on our first full season.

What sort of jerseys do you guys use on your league bowling teams, if any? (I’m definitely leaning toward retro polo style)

Is it cheesy to put your names on the back, like the pros do? Team name only?

I personally like the polos vs the baggie jersey button up ones, my preference. I guess now a days it makes you look pretentious to put your name on the back like the pro's but IMO who cares? It's a feeling you yourself get when you put it on so if you want your name on the back then put it on there. I've considered getting those whole outfits like you see the pros wear with the pants and all. They look very comfortable and it would be a change from black slacks.

I should rephrase - by polos, I meant the button-up kind. . I like those.

I believe those are considered bowling jerseys. It's all personal preference. I'm used to wearing regular polos given all the careers I've had, it was standard issue. Only problem is I have like two polos left in my wardrobe when I used to have like 30 LOL Clothes shopping hasn't been on my list of things to do in a long time but it needs to be soon. I think I have more pajamas than clothing choices LOL Luckily at work I have dress shirts they gave me and I have several of my own but I hate bowling in them. They always come untucked everytime I throw so they are a hassle. I don't like bowling in long sleeves either, always roll them up.

Something like this, I think...

Nice looking shirt, unfortunately as skinny as I am it would look like a Heafty Bag on me. LOL

In my area, team jerseys went from common to scarce as hens teeth by the end of the 70s. There seems to be a slight come back, at least among those who bowl in the Underground Bowling Association. Still most of the league bowlers I see are dressed in random casual clothes ranging from tee shirts and shorts, to polo or golf shirts with jeans or slacks, to bowling ball brand jerseys with the name on the back.
By the way, having your name on the back is required for New England Bowlers Association tournaments and PBA regionals. although there is a waiver if you're only bowling one or two.

Yeah but there is having your name on the back and HAVING YOUR NAME ON THE BACK! LOL Other words done tastefully and stylish to huge and gaudy.

On my Friday league all the teams wear matching shirts with their team name or their name on back. It's impressive to see 40 teams do that now days. And most of the teams get new shrts every year
