Super Stat Pollack continues world record run

Friday will mark the 3,000th consecutive day that Sixers Director of Statistical Information Harvey Pollack has worn a different T-shirt. Pollack’s quest to gain entry into the Guinness Book of World Records began on June 28, 2003, more than eight years ago.

As this feat has never been attempted before, Pollack claims to own the world record for the most consecutive days wearing a different T-shirt, and continues to break his own world record every day.

In order to keep his record intact, Pollack keeps the shirts he has worn in one room of his home, and the shirts he has not yet worn in a separate room. He also maintains an Excel spreadsheet of dates and numbers of each shirt, as well as a description of the shirts themselves.

Pollack’s record is not yet in the Guinness Book of World Records, as all records must be completed events – and Pollack has many more T-shirts to wear.
