Football Jerseys - Team Pride

Football Jerseys became the latest fashion wear for men in the mid 90's. Thousands of NFL football fans across the country would show their support by donning the number of their favorite player. Even business men began sporting jerseys on the weekends. It was a bond that fathers and sons had together. They would get dressed to go to the game and wear their favorite jerseys with their sons. This popular football gear soon became the weekend wear of sport lovers. Men of all shapes and sizes would boast their team colors while cutting the yard, doing chores and running errands.





Men today still love to wear jerseys. Jerseys for players that don't play anymore are called Throw back jerseys. Women even got in on the act and started wearing jerseys. In the early 2000's came the invention of the jersey dress. This was a long dress with a team's logo displayed on the front and back of it. Sports paraphernalia companies even sell jerseys for newborns and young children. Pet clothiers have even got in on the act. There are jerseys for small pocket book sized dogs. Celebrating a team can now be a family affair.





Team jerseys may have started with football but the craze has expanded to other sports. Fans can now go to their favorite event dressed just like the players. The large sporting stores sell jerseys for hockey, basketball, baseball and soccer. College's bookstores have even tried to cash in on the trend. Most college bookstores sell jerseys to support all of the sports at the school. Fans can support their teams at homecoming by wearing the team's jerseys.
