Terrible Jersey Hall of Fame: Eric Lindros Flyers Jersey

I've asked a few sports bloggers for some of their favorite terrible jerseys. This jersey comes from Dan of Roughing the Reader.


JCMJ Terrible Jersey Inductee




Eric Lindros, Philadelphia Flyers


Owner: Dan, aka Lionel McClure, from Roughing the Reader (and now Ghosts of Wayne Fontes as well)

Year It Was Purchased: 1997

Age When Purchased: 13

Jersey Category: Superstar that left on bad terms Jersey

Why Is It Terrible? : Are you kidding? It's Eric Lindros. Biggest "Shoulda been" in recent Philly history. We traded Forsberg and like 10 other players AND money for this chump. That trade ruined the franchise for 15 years and counting. Plus, that jersey cost me like $100, which is a lot to an 8th grader. Lindros is part of the reason the Flyers are dead to me, and that jersey serves as a constant reminder. Also, like most hockey jerseys, it's hideous.

Is this where my Tim Couch jersey goes to die?

You lose mega points for calling them 'jerseys.'
