The following news shouldn't come as a surprise, as James Harrison has both
strong opinions and two eyes: The menacing Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker
doesn't like the new "bumblebees in jail" throwbacks the team will be wearing
for its 80th season.
"There's a reason these jerseys were from 1932," he tweeted. "it's 2012 now
though, so send them back!!! lol"
The "lol" lets you know he's laughing.
I don't think the jerseys are all that bad but, then again, I don't have to
wear one for two games this season. They're ugly, yes, but they're retro ugly,
which is a totally different thing. You can pull off retro ugly if it's only for
two games. It's not like Pittsburgh is wearing these things all season. That'd
be a sartorial atrocity. These jerseys are like a seersucker suit. You can't
wear it all the time. But if you rock it at a special occasion, like the
Kentucky Derby or at a summer wedding in North Carolina, then it looks
tremendous.
Then again, the list of things James Harrison doesn't like far outweighs the
things he does like. On the former list: Attending the White House, flying,
Roger Goodell, apologizing for using gay slurs to refer to Roger Goodell, studio
analysts, reporters who show up early, ending phone calls in a civilized manner,
snakes, dressing up for meals, gay marriage, the New England Patriots. On the
latter: playing linebacker, hard work, guns, fake retirements. Can't say it's a
shock that horizontal, multicolored stripes aren't included.
