After the Pistons record breaking 64th win over the New York Knicks each Pistons player took their jersey off and gave it to a fan in the crowd for fan appreciation week. Now a couple of weeks ago I found that the Orlando Magic were not only selling their game worn jerseys on their website but the proceeds weren’t going to charity. The last time I posted on this I made the assumption that each jersey was going for $399.00, but I was wrong. Here is the list as it stands now.
- Stacey Augmon $399.00
- Trevor Ariza $399.00
- Tony Battie $599.00
- Travis Diener $599.00
I still feel sorry for the person who spent four hundred bucks on Stacey Augmon’s jersey, but am I wrong in my thinking that there is something a bit strange about all of this? Travis Diener was a late second round pick that only played in 23 games this year and was at one time sent down to the D league, so is six hundred dollars fair for a jersey he didn’t even get in the game with? They aren’t even autographed for goodness sake! You could spend your money better elsewhere. You could buy this instead, or two of these with change left over, or even this hot item. What are these people thinking?
The Pistons either give it away or give it to charity, it’s just how they roll.

stupidity at its finest
Orlando is beggin for cash, I wonder how much they will charge for the Dwight Howard Jersey? $5000?
how the hell is Travis Diener anyway. And why the hell does his jersey cost 599.00
I’m pretty sad they didnt show sheed taking off his jersey. I would have enjoyed that. :-/
