What sporting equipment do you own?

Asked by ucme (50047points) February 4th, 2011

Pretty straightfoward stuff right there i’m sure you’ll agree. Yeah basically all things sports related. Whether it be equipment memorabilia or clothing. I have tons of sporting goodies laying about the place, but then I do love my sport. Just do it…...as someone once said.

I’ve got a few soccer balls (I played for 7 years… still have the calves of steel to show for it). I have a baseball glove somewhere, but I hate baseball. I have some golf balls from where I played golf for a while, and a pair of boxing gloves. I also have a ton of shooting-related stuff, including a few crates of clay pigeons and god knows how much ammo. If camping is considered “sporting,” I have a metric fuckton of camping gear… everything from canteens and hiking boots to camp grills and pre-seasoned cast iron cookware.

Oh yeah, and a football.

snow shoes, fishing gear, hunting gear, hiking and camping gear.

Football (not American), ice skates, rollerblades, knee and wrist guards, riding boots, gi, jump rope, soccer cleats, running shoes, touring bike, helmet and gloves, and a Sheffield United FC shirt (which is for men, is much too big and was gotten for me by someone who knows how much of a Michael Palin fan I am. At the time, his favourite FC was that team).

We have lots of hunting and fishing gear, soccer balls, baseballs, baseball bats, baseball gloves, footballs. Probably a bunch of other stuff I’m not even thinking about right now as well.

ucme's avatar

@aprilsimnel Sheffield Utd? Spits on floor, one of my teams major rivals. Yeah I know, football rivalries are petty & immature, but hey it’s a hobby.

A hockey stick, two jerseys, and a bunch of t-shirts and stuff. I don’t play; the stick is just for fun when I get down to the rink at Mr. Fiance’s parents’ place.

aprilsimnel's avatar

@ucme – Yeah, I’m getting rid of the shirt. I never wear it.

erichw1504's avatar

Tennis balls, a basket ball, skateboard, roller blades, frisbee, football, baseball glove, mountain bike, and probably some other random junk.

I wish to get skis and/or a snowboard in the near future.

Milo here: I have one golf ball and an idiotic home-made fishing line.

ucme's avatar

Milo may want to place his paws over his eyes for this one. Amongst my many tennis racquets, I have an old John Mcenroe model. Strung with cat gut I understand :¬(

I have football shoulder pads and hockey elbow and knee pads, used for protests (with my Swedish army surplus helmet).

Most of mine is for camping and stuff. I am a wilderness skills instructor, after all.

Collapsible fishing pole, cheap fishing pole not much bigger than a child’s, various hooks and a few lures, two crayfish/minnow traps, a couple tents, a mummy style sleeping bag, a couple foam sleeping pads, various other camping stuff (mess kit, stove, saws, etc.), snow shoes, a fire piston, a ferrocium rod, a magnesium rod, a half completed bow-drill set, four machetes, two hatchets, one felling axe, and a few knives of various size, several pieces of cast iron cookware, two longbows, one pistol crossbow, and four firearms. I’m sure there’s more, but if I go too in depth it’ll bleed over into my wardrobe and such, as it’s applicable to camping and outdoor adventures.

I personally own two skateboards (back in the day I was actually quite the skater), a longboard, frisbees, I have a BMX bike, a mountain bike, a regular bike, badminton rackets and birdies, a surfboard, a snowboard, a tennis racket and tennis balls, and golf clubs.

I don’t personally own a football, baseball, basketball, or volleyball, but my brother had one of each and we pretty much had something from every sport when I was a kid.

Brian1946's avatar

A gallon of juice and some fine syringes for when I return to pro football. ;-)

Dutchess_III's avatar

(Have to go back a few years in time to answer this) Good, real leather volleyball in my trunk at all times. Knee pads.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Oh yeah…tennis rackets and tennis balls, basket ball.

Schroedes13's avatar

Holy Moly…...I’m surprised this many Jellies have sports stuff and yet when I ask a sports question, it’s pretty much Ucme and myself talking. Gosh.

So for each sport.

Baseball: glove, two bats, two sets of cleats (one rubber and one metal), wrist bands, several baseballs and softballs, and ball bag.

Hockey: full equipment (elbow, shin, and shoulder pads, bucket, gloves, pants, and skates), 2 rink sticks, 2 shinny sticks, and two road trig sticks.

Soccer: two sets of outdoor cleats and one set of indoor cleats, shin pads, 3 pairs of sock, skull cap, and a soccer ball.

Tennis, squash, and two badminton rackets, two sleeves of tennis balls, one volleyball, one football, one waterproof football, and one set of squash goggles.

Paintball: gun, HPA tank, hopper, 4+3 pack, pants, jerseys, knee pads, pods, repair kit, and gear bag.

I think that’s all. I’ll have to check when I get home at the end of August :P!

While cleaning out the barn last week I found an old ratty badminton net. Not sure if that counts,as a sport.

Schroedes13's avatar

Badminton most definitely counts as a sport!

woodcutter's avatar

It is…sort of like curling is.

Schroedes13's avatar

Try watching some Olympic badminton. It’s more intense that some other professional sports!
