Growing up I was a huge North Carolina Tar Heel basketball fan ( i think almost every kid was) to make a long story short, my mom asked me what i wanted for my birthday. So I told her I wanted a Dante Calabria jersey( i know basketball fans remember him, the italian sharp shooter who played with Sheed and Stackhouse) but i'm having a hard time finding one. There was a jersey shop near my house but it just recently closed down. Meanwhile, during my travels i came across THIS:

gotta respect anyone who is Dante Calabria fan or who even remembers him. I'm not a UNC fan but liked Dante's game. Only true college hoops fans will remember a Danta Calabria. I bet he made a ton of money in Europe playing ball.

you could probably get a custom UNC jersey, and instead of putting your own name and number on it, use his name and number. might be a little pricey but it's the best I could think of.

I watched Calabria and the Heels play at the Igloo in PGH his senior season. Coach Smith always tried to get his seniors a game near their home towns and DC was a Pittsburgh area guy. Pretty sure the game set the Civic Arena's single-game attendance record. UNC beat up on Pitt pretty easily.
