The first Jersey I ever got was Steve McNair. Not a single clue as to why but I still have it to this day. After reading this I went on a mission to find my first jersey but no luck finding it. I can remember getting it like it was just a year or two ago. I was in fifth of sixth grade and was a huge Emmitt Smith fan so I got his home jersey, I guess it was Wilson brand back then .

Pretty sure my first was Tim Brown. Definitely don't have it anymore. I have a couple old Reebok replicas from the early 2000s still though.. Rich Gannon, Jerry Rice, Brett Favre, Daunte Culpepper, and even Brock Lesnar. I think it's been two years since I bought a new jersey, but for a while I was on a kick of buying "authentics" from China. Great stuff for $25 or $30 lol. I think I have jerseys for over half the teams in the league.

Mine is Cowboys Deion Sanders.

First ever jersey was Jerome Bettis from the LA Rams I mail-ordered off eastbay. Hardly ever wore it though because it didn’t fit me right.

I got into fooseball late in life, and even then, I had a hard time stomaching the cost of jerseys. My first was a Tebow Patriots jersey on clearance at training camp.

My favorite one has to be my vintage Favre jersey from the 91 season. Got to wear it around town when I went to WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta and got some kind compliments.
Need to get one of those Pro Bowl jerseys one of there days.

How did you guys wear jerseys of teams that weren't your favorite? I am/was a big Peyton Manning fan but I'd never wear a Colts/Broncos jersey. Randall Cobb was a few years behind me in HS but I'd be damned If i wear a Pack jersey.
That said, my first football jersey was bright red Jerry Rice, followed by a Steve Young one.

I bought a Brian Westbrook jersey when he was with the Eagles. It seemed like I had it about 3 months before he got hurt and then traded to SF where his career basically ended as soon as he got there.

For me, I just like jerseys. So if I like a player to the point where I'd want a jersey, then I might get one. Peyton Manning is my favorite player all-time, thus I own both a Colts and Broncos jersey of his. It doesn't bother me to wear jerseys of other teams at all. It's not too difficult to explain to someone when questioned. Certainly there are a few teams that I would never get jerseys for.. Red Sox, Eagles, Patriots for example.

I'm the same way around 10 years ago I would wear a jersey about every day but only a handful was from my favorite teams most of them was just players I really liked(Vick,Wade,Tomlinson,Holmes and some of VT or Georgetown players when they went Pro. I had a few teams I wouldn't wear too mainly Redskins,Packers,Lakers and 49ers in the early 90's

You can always get yourself a Cobb Cowboys' jersey.

What’s the benefit in taking away one preseason game just to turn it into another regular season game? I mean, beyond the greed.
Playoff seeding is fine, beyond the occasional 8-8 team winning a division. You could convince me to reconfigure all seeding by record, even if you won your division.
Seeing a 10-6 wild card team hosting a 9-7 division winner would be interesting, I suppose.

I'm a lot of the same, in that I feel like I can be a fan of a player even if they never make their way to "my" team. If Tebow never got a Pats jersey, I could just as easily have chased down a Gators one or a Broncos one. Honestly, I don't think there's even a team I couldn't necessarily wear, namely on account of having gotten into most of the sports I'm into at such a late age. Yankees would be a tough buy because that sort of thing is liable to get you run down in this part of the country, but I think my only strict rule against would be the Lakers, as the Celtics are the only team I can claim mostly lifelong fandom of. Maybe the Jets.

I actually never wore the McNair jersey outside of one school function where you had to be dressed as a sports player. Still cool to own even today.
As for Favre jerseys....here’s the thing.
He’s kind of my favorite player of all time.
****, I even have his official NFL button up Baseball Jersey they did back in the 90’s.

When your team has sucked for the better part of your life, you wear players you like.

I love Prime Time Neon Deion Sanders, but I'll never wear football jerseys of the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, and the Baltimore Ravens, or baseball jerseys of the New York Yankees, the Atlanta Braves, the Cincinnati Reds, and the San Francisco Giants.
