Jerseys

           I recently started a new franchise with a friend of mine on Madden 21. We decided to do a fantasy draft, with each one of us picking a team from a different conference. I ended up picking the Bills. Having never played as the Bills, I did a little digging on the set up page. This is the page where you can change the difficulty of the opponent. This is also the page where you can change the jerseys of your team and your opponent.

           I spent several minutes looking at those jerseys and helmets. I remember Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and Bruce Smith wearing those jerseys. I remember OJ Simpson wearing those jerseys. Needless to say, I have worn nothing but the 1990’s Bills jerseys so far into my franchise.

           Whether you realize it or not, jerseys, helmets, hats, etc., all play a part in the history of any sport. Think back to your favorite team, and when you started following them. Odds are, you are going to think back to the jerseys they wore. The pin stripes for the Yankees. The star for the Cowboys. The gold and purple for the Lakers. The beautiful two-tone blue for some team out of Nashville. The list goes on and on.

           Today we are going talk to a fan of sports jerseys. I’m going to let him introduce himself in a bit. In this interview, you are going hear about why he loves sports jerseys, some of his favorites, and just how many jerseys he owns. I am both envious of him and want to be him at the same time.
