A few y..."life span of just a few years"<br /><br />A few years is all you can go around bragging that you got into Boston.

So now if I want to proudly sport my 2011 Boston shirt, it will look like I borrowed my husband's or something.

They probably figured the majority of runners wouldn't notice the difference or care and would far out number those that did.Steve_Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724027828810315886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-1576945090745607282011-03-04T16:33:08.991-05:002011-03-04T16:33:08.991-05:00Jamie, when I ran it in 07 and 08 there was a comp...Jamie, when I ran it in 07 and 08 there was a company at the Expo both years that sold embroidered jackets.

Couldn't justify the expense (or need) for another running jacket at the time.<br /><br />Had I bought one for this year and gotten one of those on my doorstep, I'd have sent it back for a refund.<br /><br />Then again, I probably wouldn't have ordered one, I'd have just bought one at the expo anyway (or, well, passed on buying one, which is what I've done in the past.)Blaine Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850230392841736295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-63399849657885947712011-03-04T07:39:45.774-05:002011-03-04T07:39:45.774-05:00Hey!

I was already a little disgruntled about the color (We need that Boston Blue and yellow!) but I had no idea it was screen printed!!!! <br /><br />I've been told that at the expo there are actually the old versions of the jackets with the sewn logo (this years) hopefully that's true. <br /><br />-StephanieStephanie Estridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138752457804017361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-13654300871064360202011-03-03T18:53:29.649-05:002011-03-03T18:53:29.649-05:00apparently their staff was dreaming about sex all ...apparently their staff was dreaming about sex all day<br /><br /><br />Stick it to the Man, Jamie!middle.professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370737843957507859noreply@blogger.com
