Got Jersey's??

I'll admit, i'm frugal with money. But when it comes to spending on the NFL I like to splurge. I try to attend at least 1-2 games a season. Although the sport is made for TV (and I have that covered with my 46 inch flat screen in my man cave) there is something about attending a game that makes fans feel alive. Going to a game is like going to a prom, you must dress in the proper attire. Winter games call for sweatshirts and knit caps. Summer games call for t-shirts and headbands. However, you can't go wrong with a team jersey. Although expensive, I believe they are the best way to show off your team pride.

I have one jersey, a Hakeem Nicks #88 home NY Giants jersey. This is normally what I wear on game day. I'm thinking about getting another jersey this upcoming season but i'm torn. First, the price of the jerseys are usually $100 (authentic ones). Second, is it weird to wear a jersey if you're not attending a live game?? I've heard women complain that it's stupid guys wear jerseys to the bar. "Why waste your money?? You're not a player...thats not even your name on the back of it." Five years ago I would have disregarded a statement like this. Now that I have other expenses its hard to at least not think about it. 

Should I buy a second jersey for the season? This is my summer debate. What are your thoughts? Are you a jersey wearer??
