The most fashionable trend in college sports celebrations today is as innocent as a letterman’s sweater, as oldfashioned as school pride, and reserved only for people who can wear the name of their school across their chest.
It can be spotted after any surprising victory, when the most jubilant player grabs the front of his jersey with both hands and displays it to the crowd, framing the college name as if in an advertisement for the school.
Popping the jersey, as it has become known, is becoming more and more common. When Donald Brown helped his team win an unlikely victory, he raised his jersey high enough to cover his chin. When Niagara won a major tournament this season, two players popped for the photograph.
"Our team doesn’t have names on the back of our jerseys," Brown said. "So we play for the name on the front. You have to understand, college basketball is not like the N.B.A., where a team chooses you and then you have to play for them. Here, you choose where you want to go, and you go there for a good reason."
"This is one thing I’ve never seen in the N.B.A., and I don’t think I ever will," Erroll Knight said. "It is our way to represent where we’re from and tell people that we’re proud of it."
Like most dance steps and slang words, no one really knows who started the latest thing. One of the first documented accounts of jerseypopping occurred in December 2000, when Earl Watson faced the student section and tugged at the front of his jersey after his team erased a 19point deficit against their opponents.
"Basketball is an urban sport, a hiphop sport, and what you’re seeing right now comes from that," Knight said. "If a guy is wearing a really nice shirt on the street and he wants to show it off to everyone, he’ll do what’s called popping his collarhe’ll sort of flick his collar to demonstrate the value it has. What guys are doing now with their jerseys is the same thing, only they have taken it to another level."
