Should I have bought this Knicks warm-up jacket?


Retail: $95
Listed as: $55

So I was crusing wat is possibly the most unorganized, frustrating store in my town.. TJ Maxx.  Place looks like a dimly lit bomb shelther and I get the feeling that when I step in the bathroom the rats had just been pissing on the floor and vomiting on the sink handles just a second earlier and had managed to scurry away without me seeing 'em.

Now usually this place has like XXXL polo shirts and a lotta FUBU and Southpole.  Also a lot of those t-shirts with shiny, hologram dragons and skulls on them that just beg you to kick the ass of the person wearing them.  Like you have a mythical creature on your sleeve, back and left man tit.  And you look like a jogger at night wearing a reflective vest.  Can someone explain the appeal of these shirts to me? My elementary school mascot was a dragon.  Dwight the Dragon. And it's like 9 out of 10 Dwight was a flamer.  Didnt realize it at the time, but looking back? Yea. Fire-breathin flamer.

So instead of all that shit I stumbled across THIS gem.  Retro-style Knicks warm-up jersey. 

Pros:
  • It would match my awesome David Lee jersey.
  • I would only need a pair of Knicks warmup pants to look the part and sit next to Timofey Mozgov at the end of the bench
  • It is warm and the weather is cold.
  • It has pockets
Cons:
  • Warmup jackets with teams on em aren't exactly in right now.  Last such type jacket I wore was a Colorado Rockies Starter jacket circa 1996.
  • It is inexpesnive
  • It is a kids medium.
So I shoulda gotten it right? Why not?  Comment down below and I'll decide whether to go back and get it.
