    So today was our bi-weekly casual day at work, and I decided to wear my new Premier Polamalu Jersey, which was a Christmas gift from my wife. Somebody actually said to me, "Aren't they out of the playoffs after last week? Why are you wearing that jersey?"

    Just reinforces what I've seen in Bengals fans around here all along, which is stand proud for your team, as long as they're winning and it's popular to be a fan.

    Double Amen. I've been fully expecting comments about wearing Steelers gear, but I haven't heard any yet. You'd think you were wearing your winter coat in the summer time. :roll:

    Yea, I wore my Franco Harris premier jersey and got the same reaction from people. Why do I have to explain that I am a fan of my team win OR lose?

    I continue to wear my Steelers gear. I wear it all year long, win or lose. Believe it or not the Eagles fans are the ones that give me a hard time. I just say, what have the Eagles ever done? How many super bowl wins do they have? That pretty much shuts them up.

    I've known people with this kind of dumb thinking who bought Buicks all of their life no matter how bad the cars became.

    No, my hat doesn't have any of the championships on it. Is all plain black leather with the Steelers logo in the front, above the bill.

    Yep, that sums it up. I have my long sleeved t-shirts, jerseys, and hoodies for fall and winter, and short sleeved t-shirts and a polo shirt, along with a Steelers ball cap, for spring and summer.

    I got it as a Christmas gift from my son many years ago. I think he got it from a local sports apparel store in Peoria,IL, but I'm not sure.
