Thanks, though. ---

Iā€™d love to hear them and have something resembling a discussion. šŸ˜› I donā€™t think that youā€™re going to get much of a discussion. Despite assertions to the contrary, ā€œanything you feel likeā€ is the only appropriate answer. There is no etiquette involved here, or ā€œguidelines,ā€ or ā€œstandardsā€ of any kind. ---

> [@MsRobyn](#): > > Iā€™m not a Steelers fan Does **Airman** know? šŸ˜‰ I prefer a menā€™s size jersey (ditto my Penguinsā€™ jersey), because I like them nice and big and cozy. And I always wear mine over a long-sleeved shirt. I want to get a new Steelersā€™ jersey, since Willie Parker doesnā€™t play for the Steelers anymore. (I want a Troy Polamalu jersey) **Wilbo523** , I take it youā€™re not a sports fan? ---

I always wear a shirt under my hockey jersey, but that to protect my jersey. ---

I have a couple of pro-styled Broncos jerseys and donā€™t wear anything under them, despite the tiny holes for ventilation. I donā€™t really regard it as see-through, and being a guy, donā€™t really have anything to show (besides man boobs and hair, but I like to delude myself into thinking that my jersey conceals rather than reveals.) And I live in Arizona, where it does get cool in the fall and winter, but rarely freezing in the daytime.
