ello!
i want to buy a american football top for a male relative of mine, but i dont know any american football teams
i dont think he is bothered about the team
...well he dont know he is getting this for his birthday yet!

so i was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for team shirts i can look at?

either a good american football team
or just the nicest american football shirt/kit

pleaseeee helppppp

p.s
i wanna get his name personalised on it aswell

**Kevin** · 04-19-2009, 02:07 PM

Just try googling and I'm sure something will come up. I don't know who does the personalization, but some teams are Lions, Cowboys, Packers, Steelers, Vikings and the list goes on. I know the team jersey's aren't cheap, you'll probably spend somewhere around $50-$100 on a decent one.

I would suggest giving Amazon a look and see what they offer.

If you want a personalized one you should go to the official online store for American Football gear:
NFL Shop

I'd recomend the reigning champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers:
NFL Shop - See All Teams: Pittsburgh Steelers

thanks fellas
@kevin
i tryed looking on ebay and amazon, and i cant find any custom jerseys/shirts
but ill keep looking
@tenser
that steelers top is nice
but do you think they will ship to the UK?

**Kugyince** · 04-19-2009, 03:13 PM

Yeah, the NFL has been trying to expand in the UK. They even play one game a year in England now.

The benefit with the Steelers is you know your wearing the most successful team with one of the largest fan bases in the NFL.

**sezthemank** · 04-19-2009, 03:19 PM

hmmm
i really do like the steelers shirt
the colours are nice
and by the sound of it they are a great team

i think ill get him the stellers one
or
this one (dont know who they are i just like the colours)

NFL Shop - Reebok Detroit Lions Customized Replica Alternate Jersey

Well the Lions are at the other end of the spectrum. They're the only team in American Football history to lose all 16 of their games in a season.

So they would be a cool pick as well. I am biased as a die hard Steelers fan though.

**sezthemank** · 04-19-2009, 03:33 PM

lol
so are they really bad?

i think if he knew anything about american football, he might go mad if i get him the worst team at the moment

**mj23** · 04-19-2009, 04:30 PM

you are talking football not soccer right sez?

**Kevin** · 04-19-2009, 05:20 PM

The Detroit Lions are THE worst in the league. They have quite a rich legacy, but as of late they sit at the bottom of the pile. As it was mentioned before, they were the first team to not win a single game in NFL history. :cool:

**Dudebro** · 04-19-2009, 07:29 PM

Patriots have better team colors. Steelers are alright but kinda ugly.

**Kugyince** · 04-19-2009, 08:01 PM

**Dudebro** · 04-19-2009, 08:11 PM

Yeah wow that guy is really sneaking around huh? Good thing all those officials and fans didn't notice.

yes hun im on about american football not real football lol

i just think the american football shirts are really nice, you dont see many people wearing them over here in the UK,
i got a american football top for someone before, it had:
"marshall" on the back, it was green, and it had a little "bull" or "ram" as the badge

... i dont have a clue what that one was
it could of been a golf shirt for all i know
(i dont follow sport that much)

**Kugyince** · 04-20-2009, 08:18 AM

That was the St. Louis Rams most likely.

**jim5cents** · 04-20-2009, 09:21 AM

although i'm not a steelers fan, i will admit that their jerseys are iconic, probably the only two other times that have as much recognizability as the steelers jersey is probably the cowboys and the packers...maybe the bears and 49's as well, but those two teams just aren't as popular.

it does look a little fruity, but i do like the chargers powder blue jersey

what!!!!!! the only legacy they have is one that consist of not winning and they have been at the bottom of the pile for quite some time. 9 playoff appearances in the past 50 years. poor management = lousy team. case in point, the lions, chiefs, browns, bengals. good management = good team. see colts, steelers, patriots

**TrakMastaTom** · 04-20-2009, 03:27 PM

Yeah, but dude, Barry Sanders.

I think Lions jerseys are super cool looking. But really you can't go wrong with most teams.

**jim5cents** · 04-20-2009, 03:46 PM

of course, barry sanders is an incredible player, he also demostrated how intelligent he is by choosing to retire and jump off that sinking ship before his body was destroyed.

also, one player legitimizes the entire history of an organization?
