Add this to your Jersey

We’re getting to the best part of football season, folks. You’re either a die-hard fan, know someone who is, or you may be of the more mild variety (a fan, but not a fanatic). I know this next statement will sound utterly crazy to those of you who fell proudly into category one, but bear with me here. There are even some who, and it pains me to say this, are not football fans at all.

For those of you who aren’t into throwing around the pigskin, there are other sports you may be more excited by. It happens to be basketball season as well. Even if you aren’t a particularly huge sports fan, you can bring a big old thrill to your sports-lovin’ partner, spouse, family member or friend by heeding, and putting into practice the following tips.

Here’s a fun simple way to show some spirit, to support your local team, to cheer on your fave. Throw on your team’s jersey, or t-shirt, then add that little extra touch that goes soooooo far.
Wear something that relates to that team’s mascot or area. Let’s think about a few of the football teams looking play-off bound.

For example, how about them Panthers? (Stick with me, Panther rivals). Throw on your Carolina jersey, some black panther ears, tail, and “claws” and you are one fun, sexy Panther fan.


Jets fans, wear a jet on your head. Can’t find a hat that looks like a jet? Make your own. Glue some little plastic jets to a baseball cap. Or wear a pilot hat. This one is stretching it a little, but the sharp folks will get it. Pilots fly jets.

Those Giants are making a run at the Super Bowl again, but, alas, they don’t actually have a mascot. How do you spice up that jersey? Wear an oversized head mask?



Tennessee Titans have a raccoon as their mascot so you could paint a raccoon mask on your face, wear a raccoon mask, or at least wear some raccoon ears and a tail.



Just for pure simplicity, you might want to consider being a Viking fan. How easy and how cool is theirs? Just wear your jersey and a Viking helmet.




I suppose the Cowboys are just as simple. And there are a whole lot more cowboy hat choices than there are Viking helmets. If you want to be a sexy Cowboys fan, try pairing a cowboy hat with this outfit.



Personally, I wish those Buccaneers would do a bit better and get into the playoffs. I’d love to cheer them on, even though they aren’t really my favorite team of all. I could be easily persuaded to cheer them on like a nut, with the idea of wearing a Buc’s jersey and a pirate hat.

Whether it be at home, or at your local sports bar; whether you a are true-blue, died-in-the-wool fan, or a part-time, just-for-this game enthusiast, have some fun with the NFL. Even if you choose your teams solely based on the colors they wear, or if you don’t even know the rules (you might want to keep this last one to yourself) dress it up, yell and scream.

Don’t know a thing about football – not the teams, not the colors, nothing? You don’t have to be left out. Use this sexy football player outfit when he’s sitting down to watch the game and he may call time out.



And if you can’t come up with what to wear with your jersey, there’s always a crazy wig out there for you or face/body paint! These work for any sport, any team, any event.
