Fan of the Week - Stayin' Classy and Sleeveless
Posted by Matt Sebek, October 9, 2007
As previously asserted, the common NFL fan is an unusual breed. They are deranged, nutty, sometimes way overweight, and altogether demented...but they love their team. Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...general guidelines of extreme allegiance to the home team were written. No one knows the exact origin of these guidelines, but we're willing to bet said creator had one helluva mobile home painted in team colors. For some unapparent reason, these guidelines included excessive drunkenness, tattoos worth more than small cars, and exposing your God-given body to the world.

Alas, sometimes these guidelines for supporting the home team can mesh with reality. Alcoholics anonymous. Need new rims on the '85 Mustang. No shirt, no service. These restrictions of society can deter a man from carrying out his self-proclaimed duty as the Sunday superfan.

Fortunately, the league marketing advisers are doing everything in their power to make sure the common superfan can support his team in style, without worrying about the restrictions of modern guidelines.

Worrying about getting enough face time for that killer AC/DC tattoo on your left pipe is a thing of the past. No longer is "honey, put on a shirt before you go to the game" a problem.

The NFL presents: the sleeveless mesh jersey.

Don't ever tell me that the NFL doesn't understand their market.

What size is that Redskins jersey in; XXXL or Rusty Brooks?


(Vague wrestling reference about .002% of the world will get)

Clearly, that 'Skins fan is a woman. Is that only obvious to me? An extremely ugly woman, to be sure...seems midwestern in origin, strikes me as a lady who has worked her way up the ladder working for the federal government---possibly as an undercover man. She's probably infiltrating the Illuminati, by phone, in that picture.

Actually, Barry Duffman, its me. Don't tell anyone, though, I was supposed to wear my Panthers sleeveless mesh that day.

Good call, Kilo. I got a D in JSF terminology last semester. Time to start cramming for midterms.

Redskins dude is on his cell phone arranging for a hooker to meet him at the Motel 8 after the game. "I'll bring some KFC...my treat!"

Is that Hulk Hogan in the Rams "muscle" shirt? Also, the Redskins dude is probably standing because he can't get his humongous gut/ass to fit in the seat.

Alex, the proper term is skullet.

I don't think I've ever seen a bald man with highlights. Thank you.
Jason, October 9, 2007 04:10 AM
I'd like to see a statistical breakdown of the amount of these jersey sold - in the Midwest, and throughout the rest of the country.
Sebek, October 9, 2007 02:10 AM
Yea....I actually wanted to do a specific post devoted to that bald spot, but a few people sent me these wonderful sleeveless creations, so I figured I would do a collective post.

But yea - general rule of thumb...once you venture into the "bald" or "balding" phase, it's time to stop highlighting the lid.
alex, October 9, 2007 02:10 AM
Thats a fantastic bald spot/ mullet on the Rams fan.

When injuries ravaged the Pirates roster in 1984, manager Chuck Tanner was forced to start the clubhouse chef at catcher for 13 games.
