Okay, it is only me, or does anyone else not understand the fascination with spirit jerseys?

About half the new clothing merchandise Disney releases seems to be this style, and I just don’t get it. I’ve never seen spirit jerseys anywhere here at home (Toronto area) so I’m guessing it’s an American thing? Or have I just not been shopping in the “right” stores? And what/where did the spirit jersey style come from?
 
For those like me who don't know what a spirit jersey is. "Spirit jerseys are large long sleeved shirts that are meant to have the oversized look to it. They are normally pretty simple, with a logo in the right corner and big words on the back. These shirts somewhat copy the look of sorority or fraternity shirts."

I think their popularity has a lot to do with their loose fitting nature. They fit everyone!
 
Maybe they should sell Disney hockey sweaters up here...

(I suppose I technically have one - a Paul Kariya Mighty Ducks sweater)

Not me :sad2: I wish they fit me but I guess I’m just the wrong shape. They are loose on top and too tight around the hips on me.
 
I like the fit of them but I do not like the overly large in-your-face wording on the back. So I've picked up a few I thought were cute until I saw the back.
 
If it's an American thing, than this American needs a new home country, because I can't figure out why they're such a popular item at Disney, either. :)
 


I have a Winnipeg Blue Bomber One that I bought at a game last year, so they are around in Canada just not as popular. Pink also sells many.
