Do you think you own a lot of custom NHL sweaters? You’ll have to compare your collection to that of Washington Wizards forward Mike Scott, who told the Washington Post’s Candace Buckner that his stockpile of customized hockey jerseys has ballooned to “around 55.” Yes, nearly enough sweaters to wear a different one every day for two months.

The six-year NBA veteran wears a different one to each game.
Apparently this has become a thing for Scott, a 29-year-old Virginia native who joined the Wizards in the offseason after five seasons in Atlanta. He owns sweaters for every NHL team, so it’s not like he’s pointing his allegiances in any direction. He just likes wearing hockey sweaters, and he doesn’t care who knows it.
Here’s a customized Sharks sweater from a chilly November night:
And here he is rocking a Hurricanes sweater 10 days later. Why “MARSUPIALS” on the back? Who knows?
The NHL shop charges $225 for a brand-new Adidas sweater with a player’s name on it, and $180 for a blank sweater, so this definitely wasn’t cheap for Scott. He’s currently on a one-year, $1.7 million contract with the Wizards, though, so he probably has some spare change lying around.
Most hockey fans dream of having a collection this big, even if they don’t have the closet space. Hopefully Scott has somewhere nice to flip through all his sweaters.
