    Default Opinion about the first TFC jersey

    Hey all was just wondering what some of your opinions on the first TFC jersey I have is.

    Well I have the very first TFC jersey the one with no sponsor and TORONTO FC on the front, was wondering if I should put BRENNAN - first Canadian and TFC captian played just under 100 games for us, DICHIO - Scored the first TFC goal in history ntm at BMO or keep it BLANK - could be worth cash in 20-30 years know what I mean?, just want some of your opinions on it.

    Cheers

    Will defo not be worth any cash, but if you're interested in credibility go with Danny... otherwise opt for comedy and get Reda (#4) or Braz (#3)

    I did recently purchase one myself, actually (and some scarves that I didn't have/went missing).

    XL (don't like my kits tight on me) and nope not yet hoping to hand it down to my kid whenever I have one, in 50 years when he's all grown up and supports TFC he can say he has the first every kit.

    And yea from the quick response I think ill keep it just blank, thanks everyone (probably the best option)

    Those were my thoughts, I have a Dichio 2007 shirt with no sponsor on the front and the 07 lettering to go with it. I love it but am afraid to wear since it cannot be replaced.

    Mine is year 2 with the sponsor, good old lettering that has started to peel from over use.


    Got a new Canada jersey to make me feel better.

    I love this jersey and have the same. There is much wear and tear on mine, but it adds so much character. DICHIO is the way I would go.

    Either or.
    My two cents would be if you put a name on it, there's no reason to not want to get it signed some day.
    Go for it.

    Me and my wife both have the original no sponsor jersey from year 1, no name, I prefer this jersey over any of the BMO jersey's, because I don't like shirt sponsors, just the team name and crest does it for us.

    Players never wore the no-sponsor jersey, right? I vote for no name.

    i agree, leave it blank. and who knows.. when the clubs celebrating its 75th anniversary in the same year it's won it's 10th champions league (a man can dream, can't he?) it'll be worth something.

    Meh. Everyone has the red no sponsor - who was smart enough to tuck away a gray? They are probably 15x more rare, those will be the most valuable eventually.

    FYR is right, dont put anything on it unless you can get the proper lettering and number. As someone who has dealt in jerseys for over 13 years, nothing grinds my gears more than butchering a nice item.

    Yeah, I have a red and a grey with no sponsor. They've seen some battles and are worn on the shoulders from my drum straps, but I love 'em.

    Mine's a year one sponsor that has been washed enough times now that the lettering is starting to pucker a little.

    Anyone got a Laurent Robert or a Paulo Nagamura? That would be a rarity.

    I have a gray no sponsor, Jim Brennan signed it at that end of season meet and greet party in year 1.
