With thirty-two teams in the National Football League and nearly 90 years of gridiron greatness there is a fascinatingly vast history behind each historical franchise. The players, the stadiums, the big games and even single plays have become legend in the annals of history. Even the interesting and diverse history of the official NFL jersey has become a thing of legend. Since the 1920s the exhibition sport of professional football has had its hands firmly on the American heartstrings and has become the second eldest of American team sports only yielding its age to professional baseball.
With a history spanning over 90 years the National Football League has built a legacy for itself and also has helped to forge an untold amount of traditions that range from tail gating in parking lots before games to simple traditions involving a father and his son bonding over a common interest.\
As great a sport as football is, it has been driven to the forefront of the business world with strategic marketing that has seen a recent boom in sales due to the renewed interest in small market merchandising of official NFL jerseys. This is no coincidence as the history behind uniforms is as unique as the franchises and players themselves. Gone are the days of the padded leather helmets.
In 1968 The Denver Broncos donned their famous Orange Crush uniforms that saw a unique bright orange and blue color scheme that lasted through several Championship games but the big Super Bowl win eluded them. Tradition has been a mainstay for the Browns but then again, the Super Bowl has eluded them for their whole existence so maybe an update to the uniform is due.
Regardless of the history of their favorite team every fan understands the importance of supporting their team and it often culminates in the wearing of their teams Official NFL jerseys.
