Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

There is no truer proclamation of fandom than purchasing a spanking new jersey with your favorite player's name on the back. But these purchases are fraught with peril. A player can be traded at the whim of capricious management. A player can turn out to be a one-season sensation. Or a player can have his personal life take an unfortunate turn.

A commitment has been made. Do you store the jersey in a forgotten corner of your closet? Or do you stick with the jersey and wear it with pride?

The dudes behind Straight Cash Homey are hoping for the latter. Amir Blumenfeld and Ethan Trex are documenting unfortunate jersey choices on their humorous photo blog. Their mission is to turn "life into a random jersey scavenger hunt."

We giggled as we browsed through the site, and we knew we had to find out more about the men behind this mission. Amir and Ethan were nice enough to join us for a chat about undercover photography, awful jerseys, and crummy players forever immortalized on the backs of fans...

Hey guys, who hatched the idea for Straight Cash Homey?

Ethan: Amir. Next question. No, Amir had the idea to make it a blog, but we'd been playing around with the idea for a couple of years. We'd call each other when we saw a jersey that was funny.

Did you guys take pictures of jerseys and send them back and forth to each other?

Amir: Yeah, mostly camera-phone pictures. Then eventually real pictures.

Ethan: Our next plan is to advance to doing paintings and then shipping them to each other. Read the full profile...

Obsessive sports fans are a dime a dozen. We've all seen the face paint, the foam fingers, and the wacky superstitions—it takes a true fanatic to rise above the madding crowd. Paul Lukas' Uni Watch has been kicking around the Web since 1999, but now he's supplemented his ESPN columns with this "detail-driven" blog. Any sports fan can tell you that Derek Jeter wears number 2, but only a frenzied few would take note of the length of Pedro Martinez's pant cuffs. Uniforms of all stripes are the driving force behind the blog, but you'll find posts on topics ranging from team logos to typography. With categories devoted to belts, team colors, and undershirts, the site leaves nary an area of sporting attire uncovered. We think fans of fashion and sports alike will appreciate the marvelous minutiae dissected daily at this sartorially splendid site.

Please put your tray table up, fasten you seat belt, and return your seat back to its full, upright position. You're about to go on trip that will delight, amaze, and possibly disturb you. Cliff Muskiet, a Dutch flight attendant, is the perfect example of what happens when an innocent boyhood hobby turns into an adult obsession. After dabbling in aviation tchotchkes as a boy, he began collecting stewardess uniforms in 1980. Currently, his collection sits at around 220 uniforms from various airlines. Lucky for us, he's seen fit to dress up a couple of mannequins, take hundreds of photos, and build a web site to show off the uniforms. The collection features all shapes, colors, and sizes, including a few standouts, such as the sexy '70s skirts of Braniff Air, the ultra-casual outfits from Easy Jet, and the jaunty hats PanAm stewardesses donned 30 years ago. Unlike the pre-flight safety speech given by flight attendants, you'll be hard-pressed to ignore this fascinating look into flight fashion.
