How to Customize NFL Throwback Jerseys

You are a huge football fan and you never miss one of your team's games. When the team is home, you go to the stadium. When it goes on the road, you watch the game on TV. No matter where you are, you put on your throwback jersey to make you feel a bit closer to the action.

      Go to your local sporting goods store and buy sew-on uniform letters so you can spell out your name on your uniform. This lets everyone know your name--even if it's just for the three seconds they are looking at your classic throwback uniform.

      Commemorate your team's Super Bowl wins. If you are a fan of the Chicago Bears, never let them forget the 1985 season. The Bears rampaged through the league with a 15-1 regular-season record and devastated the Giants, Rams and Patriots in the postseason. Put a patch with Super Bowl 20 on your left shoulder. That's the most important game the team has played in nearly 50 years, and it should be noted. Super Bowl patches can be found at sports collectibles shows and local memorabilia shops. Super Bowls 1 through 10 are more difficult to find, but if you go to 10 or more shows per year, you should be able to find the ones you want. You can also go online to sports memorabilia businesses to find Super Bowl patches.

      Get a number emblazoned on the back of your jersey. If you are a Green Bay Packers fan, you might want the No. 15 of Hall of Famer Bart Starr on your jersey. Starr was the quarterback of the Packers when he led them to victories in the first two Super Bowls.

      Put all of your team's Super Bowl appearances on the back of the jersey. This shows you know your team's history. You might be a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have been to the Super Bowl seven times, winning six of them. Get patches with the years 1974, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1995, 2005 and 2008 on them. Put these patches on the back of your uniform.
