I’ve been drafted to the Denver Broncos!

Being a long time football fan I’ve collected a decent amount of NFL jerseys. I started off as a die hard John Elway fan and moved on from there. The only problem I see with being a sports fan is the revolving door for players that seemed to be the mainstay now. Gone are the days of the franchise player that stays with a team due to loyalty. Today the almighty dollar makes moving teams the same as changing socks.

So now I’m left with some cool Elway throwback jerseys but I also have a closet full of jerseys for the guys that I thought would stick around but have now moved on to lesser talented teams. My better half asked me what I wanted for my impending birthday and it struck me that I’d like to have an authentic jersey with my name on it. It seems to be the best way to eliminate buying a new jersey every season. Authentic jerseys from the NFL shop run form $250.00 to $300.00 but you know you are getting quality NFL gameday jerseys and not low quality mesh. I thought I wanted the throwback orange but I think I’ll push for the blue home jersey with a nice 52 (linebacker number) number!
