Wander -> Yandy transformation FINALLY complete! This jersey has been through hell and back.


This jersey has a story.

I originally bought it as a blank in June 2021, the night of Wander’s first big league homer. Had always intentioned it to be his name on the back.

Sent it to be customized in July of that year, and it was returned to me in November.

Fast forward through all the Wander craziness, I decided to strip it back to a blank in January of this year.

Sent it back to the people who stitched it up originally, after waiting a month, they refused to strip it for fear of damage, so I sent it to a guy who works primarily on hockey jerseys, and he did the job for free bc wander is such a POS. Got it back in mid-April.

Then sent it back a THIRD time to those that do my customization to turn it into Yandy. That job was done in June. Tried shipping it back to me and got lost in the mail.

Disputed the charge, thinking it was lost forever, only for it to turn up back with my customizer a month later. I cancelled the dispute and sent the money back to my customizer. Fought with PayPal for close to FOUR MONTHS to give the $$ back to the seller after I paid again, and the jersey was ‘held hostage’ as we waited for the payment to go through again. To date, the customizer is still fighting PayPal for their money, but were gracious enough to mail it back to me after proof that I paid them back. Paid a little extra in a second transaction for their troubles.

Fast forward all the way to today, and over three years after originally purchasing, I’ve landed myself a Yandy jersey. I will cherish this jersey forever!

  1. Quite a journey! I bought my blank jersey in 2013 and finally took it to Lids a couple weeks ago. Díaz was my pick. For years as soon as I thought I picked someone to live with on my back, they would get traded or do something stupid (cough: Wander: cough: cough). Díaz is my man.

  2. Dang dude, I think you just got Yandy traded by putting him on that jersey. 😂
