yeah i think at some point you have to put the jersey away
i dont know when that time is though
a fan will always be a fan i guess. and the nfl has done a good job in making sure it's a big part of our entertainment lives, a lot more so now than ever before.
I mean when did people first start wearing pro jerseys? Were they around back in the 70's ? I'm fairly young to a lot on this board and I don't really remember anyone wearing jersey's until I was 1st/2nd grade-ish when I think Jordan probably changed all of that with his Nike shoes deal and people starting wearing athlete's apparel a lot more. And maybe I'm completely wrong on that...but that's how I remember it all starting. I don't remember any of my parent's uncles older folk etc wearing any jersey. My dad went to every Bears game for about 10 years all through the late 70's most of 80's until we moved to KC and all he had is a Bears old starter jacket, a hat, and has a sweatshirt.
