Turning Lemons Into Lemonade

I'm taking junior to check out Packers Training Camp tomorrow, some quality father-son time. As I dig into the closet to pick out a jersey, I realize the wife and I have the worst collection of Packers jerseys in the state. No doubt about it. Here's the lineup:

Robert Brooks #87
Dorsey Levens #25
Bubba Franks #88
Aaron Kampman #74

WTF garbage collection is that?? To makes matters worse, the AK74 is almost brand new. Bought it last off season about two weeks before GB switched to the 3-4, making Kampy very mediocre. Damnit all! And anybody notice a trend? Brooks, Levens, and Kampman all blew out their knees right after purchasing said jerseys. As for Franks, he turned into a glorified Tackle.


So what to do? For the sake of shredding more ACL's, buying a new jersey is out of the question. I'm desperate. Desperate, but also a genius! Duct tape and a sharpie can fix anything, right?

OH, YEAH!!! It's the white-trash #88 Finley edition! You can't buy this sucker at the Rice Lake Wal-Mart if you tried! Does it look cheap, white trash, generic, and stupid? Yep, and that's the point! As for Finley's knee...technically it's still a Bubba shirt, so we're good.
