Show Your Support for a Super Sport with NFL Merchandise
Are you ready for some football? Each autumn, like the ritual of red, orange, and yellow leaves fluttering to the ground, the NFL season kicks off—literally. In addition, paralleling the spread of globalization, football’s popularity has expanded across the border and even across the ocean.
Many of us are year-round NFL fanatics who are always scouring the Net for the latest NFL apparel. We follow everything related to the NFL, including the draft, trades, mini-camps, and even the Super Bowl coin flippers.
A bigger and better game
Speaking of the Super Bowl, every year it gets bigger and better than before. In fact, 97.5 million people, a super record, watched the 2008 Super Bowl. That included 65% of all TV sets that Americans had turned on. Furthermore, 30-second commercial spots cost a whopping $2.7 million! In 1982, those same Super Bowl ads cost a mere $324,000.
However, the birth of the Super Bowl was quite humble. It began as a championship between two leagues: the National Football League (NFL), and the American Football League. The winner of the contest would be the undisputed football champion on America.
A super name for a super game
How was the name, “Super Bowl” born? Lamar Hunt was owner of the Kansas City Chiefs and designer of the AFL. One day his daughter’s Super Ball lit a light bulb in his head. He would launch a championship game between the two professional football leagues, and call it the Super Bowl.
On January 15, 1967, the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs played the first Super Bowl, in Los Angeles, California. Nearly 62,000 live spectators saw the famed Vince Lombardi’s Packers dominate the Chiefs, 35-10. The rest, as they say, is history.
From bracelets to bathrobes
Besides the skyrocketing popularity of the Super Bowl, the wide variety of NFL merchandise also indicates how entrenched the professional football league has become in American society. Personally, at some point in my life, I have owned NFL t-shirts, sweatshirts, knit shirts, knit caps, baseball caps, jackets, and those indoor sock things. A cornucopia of quality NFL accessories are available, including:
Bathrobes: Feel like an NFL champion in these comfortable terry velour bathrobes that will help you to feel comfortable before dreaming of your team winning the next Super Bowl.
Bracelets: This is the next best thing to a Super Bowl ring. They are handmade and constructed of actual football leather.
Dog Tags: You are in the NFL army now! These handsome military-style dog tags are shaped like a football field, and include lengthy chain.
Fan faces: There is plenty of time to be “normal” on Monday, at school or work. Until then, show your team spirit with these NFL masks that include team colors and official team logos on the forehead region.
Gloves: Whether or not you are sitting in an NFL stadium on a blustery autumn or winter day, these gloves will help to keep your hands toasty warm. They are made of tough cotton twill and include rubber grips on the palms.
Hardhats: These hats preserve the blue-collar roots of football. They not only look great, but they actually provide sturdy lightweight protection as well.
Lanyards: These things are great! Wear them at an NFL game, at school, or in the office. They can hold your keys, ID, badges, and even your ticket for the game. These lanyards provide a comfortable fit around your neck, and include a detachable key ring as well.
NFL collectibles for your collection
Are you a collector of collectibles? If you are an NFL fan and enjoy collecting collectibles as a hobby, why not consider NFL collectibles? Many items on the market are produced as collectibles. However, even non-collectible items can become collectibles. NFL Collectibles can include various types of items such as:
Cars and tractor trailers: Replica cars and tractors are not just child’s play. These scale replicas allow your support of NFL teams to hit the road.
Footballs: It is not advisable to play a pickup game of football with these pigskins. These footballs range in size, design, and material. Some are actual pigskins, while others are embroidered. These NFL team footballs are perfect for display, especially if you are lucky enough to get players to put their John Hancock on them!
Golf items: Merge two outstanding sports with these products. These quality products include items such as NFL golf balls and NFL golf club head covers. You will feel like shouting “Hike” instead of “Fore!” every time you swing your driver.
Jersey magnet sets: These are authentic jersey replicas of your favorite NFL team. Attach them to refrigerators, file cabinets and lockers to show your support before the next game!
Pencil display bins: Write the right way by storing NFL pencils in these attractive bins.

Stuffed animals: These adorable plush toys will have you saying, “Lions and Bengals, and Bears, oh my!” Keep one for your own collection, and then secure one for your kids, nephews or nieces, and grandchildren.
Water globes: Flip them upside-down, and then back to right-side-up. Like magic, your favorite NFL players burst into action!
