You can probably find a Jeremy Lin jersey now.
My understanding is that Jeremy Lin jerseys have been pretty much impossible to come by this week. I know they were available at some point in MSG souvenir shops, but they sold out as quickly as fans got their greasy little paws on 'em. Though I expect they'll sell out again, today is the day to shop:
After legions of Knicks fans cried foul for days over the crushing absence of Jeremy Lin jerseys, city stores on Friday are slated to receive their first batch of gear emblazoned with the name of the NBA’s newest sensation.
"Obviously, New York is excited about Jeremy, and we’re going to give the fans what they want," said Modell’s spokesman Rich Lampmann.
Lin jerseys will be available at three Modell’s stores in midtown and at the Madison Square Garden souvenir shops.
Modell’s is pulling a batch of the jerseys off the production line early in order to satisfy the red-hot demand. They’ll be on sale at the Modell’s stores on W. 42nd St., E. 42nd St. and Broadway at W. 34th St.
Now, that's good news for prospective jersey-buyers, but we ought to acknowledge the ingenuity some Knicks fans showed in the interim. Lin-hacks if you will:
- I wish I could remember who it was, but somebody on Twitter said they were taping over their old Danilo Gallinari jersey (sorry Danilo. Still love you.) so that it read "GALLINARI". I assume they also added a (+9) to the number part on the front and back.
- This young gentleman made a minor edit to a Carmelo Anthony jersey and-- boom!-- Lin jersey.
- And then there's me. I took an old blue dress shirt, cut off the sleeves with a scythe (because that's how I do things), and detailed it with orange glitter paint. Then I wrote "NEW YORK KICKS BASKETBALLs GO NICKS" and "7TEEN" on the front and "JEREMY LIN LINSANITY!!!1 2012" and "KNIX 17" on the back. And now I don't have to go to Modell's. I'd be happy to print more if y'all are interested.
- I'm also selling Limited Edition Jeremy Lin Semi-Adhesive Wet Chin Band-Aids for $17 a piece. Act now or miss out!

Put me down for 17 dangling band-aids please.

I have a question about the band-aids
Are they semi-adhesive when you buy them, or does the semi-adhesiveness activate only when you break ankles and dunk the ball? Or do you have to do a bookworm handshake with an educated person and then proceed to dunk the ball in a 48 minute window so the band-aid activates? Do I have to be an educated person myself for this to work?
Also, I’d like one of those glitter shirts too. The whole “Let’s go Nicks” thing could make me a basketball AND New York Giants fan!
New York Knicks = Sleeping Giants

Good question.
They’re pre-moistened and adhesive only on one end, so you can look like Jeremy right out of the box.
I'm going to make a hipster Lin jersey...
Dark Gray T shirt with black trim and then “Lin” on the front in block letters and 17 on the back. That’s it, minimal. If you don’t know what it means then you are obviously not cool enough.
I must admit
I have been scheming in my mind on how to make a Lin jersey for myself over the past few days. I was 21 years old when Jeremy Lin was born. Or is it the other way around?

Wasn’t Baron supposed to return to practice yesterday?
He was but he skipped it to go shopping to buy a Lin Jersey!

Baron who??
Kidding obviously, but I must admit… I’m a little scared to mess up this good thing we got going here by putting Davis in the mix right now. It’s going to be interesting to see what Mike D does!!
"To be honest with you, it could've used a little more Cowbell!"
Ah that's nothing
I’ve had that hood ornament on my Ralliart for a couple of years. Its a LINdscoop for the turbocharger.
PS just came over from Big Blue View after the Superbowl win. I got depressed when they started to tank but holy moley, I been watching some footage of Jeremy and I’m wondering if we have the basketball version of Victor Cruz on our hands. I WANT that jersey.

Jeremy Lin is so fast...
he can run around the world and smack himself in the back of the head.

I can't get over how much fun it just became to watch the Knicks...
Especially after how unbelievably difficult everything seemed until three games ago. We could actually be a deep team once everyone gets healthy. Baron and Jeremy could be a very nice one two punch. Seems unreal. Loving it!
GO KNICKS!

Fascinating
Lin better than Curry in college? Wow. Find that hard to believe. Would have liked to see him play.
