Everywhere you look, there’s something to love about this majestic Full House hockey jersey
Forget for a second that Uncle Joey was the Full House character who played hockey in college and disregard the fact that Uncle Jesse would never play a sport in which a helmet would cause a full 60 minutes of “Watch the hair!” panic. Put these departures from the TGIF canon out of your mind and simply bask in the glory of the uniforms worn by the Philadelphia area’s preeminent amateur-ice-hockey tribute to John Stamos, The Rippers. This is no mere exercise is cheap nostalgia: The color scheme and design elements call back to both the show and the era during which it was produced, a time when many NHL franchises’ classic looks received supposedly “hip” updates, not unlike that time some record-label sleaze persuaded The Rippers’ namesake to record a vaguely rapped cover of The Beach Boys’ “Forever”.
