Default Installed some new seat covers

Dont know where I got the idea, Don't remember seeing it anywhere before, but maybe I did and subconsciously kept thinking about it. But anyways I was shopping with the family this evening and walked past the jersey store and thought I would pick up a few new snap backs. When I saw the Jerseys I remembered thinking about it a while ago and figured why not, and it will help protect the leather seats, and stop the scuffs from the kid kicking the back seat.

I walked up to some african american kid and was like "I need help with some jerseys" he agreed " I was like i need some cool basketball jerseys. I pointed to a Lebron James Heat jersey and said " Hey that one looks cool, isnt that James guy like the best player EVAR? I think he has cool tattoos!" the kid look at me and was like WTF, he asked me if i was serious, so I told him to show me a cool jersey. He showed the the Griffin jersey and was like this guy won the dunk contest, I responded "Isn't that where guys jump up and touch the goal when they score?" He asked me if I knew what Basket ball was. I then asked for another one and he points out the Rose jersey and said this guy is the best, the team didn't do that well but he is the number 2 point guard in the league. I then asked "But is he as good as that Bryant guy on the Lakers jersey? I hear he is the greatest thing to ever happen to Basketball and womens rights." He then said that if I keep talking he will kick me out of the store and asks if I know anything about sports? I told him, "I get all my sports news from TMZ" anyways this went on for a bit but these are what resulted, I liked the fact that the shoulder bholsters of the sport seats fit nicely through the arms of the jerseys.

I wanted the snap backs for myself anyways, and I have a small child in the back seat on a regular basis who loves to scuff the back of the seats with his shoes so I was looking for some way to protect them a little bit. I was a little skeptical about their comfort, but they actually are pretty nice, they fit pretty tight so there is no bunching up when you sit back in them. where the body of the shirt is stretched across the kidney bolsters is like sitting back in one of those egro office chairs which is nice considering I don't have a great back and appreciate the little extra lumbar I get out of it, and the way the shoulder bolsters fit through the arms of the jersey keep it in place really well. I am also guessing that this will help on hot sunny summer days when you seem to get third degree burns getting into your seat.

Why not, nothing has been permanently modified. They are washable and quick removal if you decide you are done with them.

Exactly, I see no down side, a lot easier to deal with shoe marks on the jerseys than on the seats, I think it is a lot better looking and more unique looking than a traditional pull over seat cover and adds a personal touch to the car.

I don't even follow basketball but just watching Sportscenter for 5 minutes while at the gym I think I know enough to at least pretend I know enough.

As for the seat covers, well at least they serve their purpose!

I am actually quite familiar with the NBA, I usually see 5 or 10 NBA games a year and it is one of few sports I actually follow. I was just having fun with the kid

I used a mens medium, small was a little too tight and the large looked a little better fitting since is wasnt stretched across the bolsters, but bunched up a little and shifted a bit getting in and out.
