Brooklyn Nets Unveil Exceedingly Awful "Borough" Jerseys

I’m not sure what’s worse, a Nets fan purchasing a jersey with their favorite Brooklyn area code on the back, or that someone in the organization actually came up with the horrid idea to sell them. My favorite option, without question, is “917” for Bed-Stuy, an area code that represents absolutely nothing specific to Brooklyn geographically other than to say you may in fact own a cell phone in New York City. Which is totally cool to “rep” so long as you are an inexcusable douchebag.

Even for the ones that technically make sense, having three digits on the back of a basketball jersey looks about as natural as Gheorghe Muresan running the point.
