Replica Football Jerseys

Hello faithful football fans! I'm sure that you all are beginning to catch the fever that inevitably strikes hardcore pigskin followers this time of year. That's right, the NFL Draft in New York has just taken place less than a week ago, and we get a whiff of things to come this Fall. And depending on how your team picked, you're either ecstatic about the prospect of how your star rookies will play, or just waiting to see if your team can repeat, or improve on their record of a year ago. However, the main idea of this blog is to help inform you, as the consumer, about why now is a better time than ever, to be a fan of the NFL, like any of you need me to tell you how to be a great fan of this gridiron game. So if that's not the problem, then what is it? The problem is the economy, and what that means for all of us as price conscious, die-hard (insert your NFL team here) fans. In my opinion, the best way to do this, is to purchase a replica jersey.

It's simple economics, and basically boils down to whether or not you have the extra cash to grab that shiny, new jersey that you are craving to help show off your ultimate fan status. I hope to help you with that decision by giving you, the greatest fan ever, the knowledge of what's what in the realm of NFL jerseys and what kind of a price difference you can expect for the quality that is provided.

Based on NFLShop.com, there are three basic types of jerseys: Replica jerseys, Premier jerseys, and Authentic jerseys. Replica jerseys use the same patterns as Authentic jerseys, but are composed of a more lightweight fabric, and the name and numbers are screen-printed onto the jersey itself. For all intent and purposes this jersey type is the least expensive, but also most effective in projecting the overall feel of an NFL jersey, for its listed price.

Premier jerseys are produced with a heavier fabric than that used in the Replica jerseys, plus they have the added aesthetic value of sewn-on names and numbers. Other jerseys in this category would be considered Throwbacks, and depending upon the player and customization they can run a little higher in the price category. Overall, these jerseys are priced well for the degree of quality which they provide.

Finally, we reach the pinnacle of the jersey category, the Authentic jersey. This jersey is exactly like the ones you see the players wearing on Sundays. They are made with a heavier fabric and have all the graphics sewn-on which gives you an on-the-field feel, and include gummy arm sleeves and bigger shoulders. When it boils down to it, these are the highest quality jerseys, and you'll see that in the price, and depending on customization they could be a bit more.

Regardless of your financial position, if you want to purchase an NFL jersey, there are options that can be explored in this economically hard time, to show support for your team. Most people show their love of the game with a football jersey, others choose to go the extra mile and completely deck out their car, workspace or bedroom. This is a time that we need to support our country and the people that entertain us on the weekends, but more importantly, make Monday's bearable.
