“Jersey Saturdays”: The Phenomenon

It’s Saturday morning. Guys everywhere roll out of bed, tripping over last night’s Vinny’s box, while digging around their colossal mountain of clothes in a quest for that one article of clothing that officially starts the day: the jersey. Jersey Saturdays seem to be an obvious phenomenon which has graced the lives of all pigskin-loving fans alike since the days of Abroham Lincoln. Sure, everyone likes to rep their team on game day, but the obsession of sporting silks on a regular basis seems to pose as a way of marking hometown territories among college students. Jersey Saturdays turn the UD ghetto into some sort of “Gangs of New York”-esque battleground as all the Chicago, Columbus, Cleveland, and St. Louis fans leak into the streets wearing their designated colors in preparation for kickoff. “I wear jerseys to represent my ‘squad’ and to show my fan-hood,” sports fanatic, Lou Zambelli, commented. “It’s more than reppin’ a team you like...it’s a shout out to your hometown.” Jersey Saturdays raise the bar of competition to the next level and bring a sense of camaraderie among us fellow Flyers. They create Fantasy Football friendships and reunite old high school bromances. So whether you’re a Die-hard Cavs fan or a born and raised Buckeye, sport your team’s jersey at ArtStreet Cafe so we can show our mad love for all jersey-wearers everywhere.
