  1. Celebrate the History of the NFL With Throwback Jerseys

      Travel to sports clothing stores in your local mall or shopping center to find throwback jerseys. The NFL has worked with its sponsors to put out jerseys from the league's past as a marketing tool to younger fans. You can usually find the full range of throwback gear at these stores at a lower price than at NFL pro shops.

      Examine the different jerseys available through the National Football League's online shop before you buy. The NFL offers game jerseys as well as throwback gear for football fans at a premium price (see Resources below). These items are worth the investment if you are concerned about authentic fit and design.

      Locate autograph sessions and team reunions for your favorite franchise to increase the value of your throwback jersey. You may be able to get an autograph from the player represented by your jersey for a small fee and discuss memorable plays face to face.

      Contact sports collectors in your community who may possess rare throwback jerseys from the past. Unlike the new throwback jerseys used to celebrate the past, collectors may possess game-worn jerseys from famous players that you can buy at a high price.

      Customize your throwback jersey with your own last name and favorite number. NFL pro shops and other purveyors may offer customization services on a per-letter basis, plus a service fee.

      Purchase a throwback jersey one size larger than normal if you plan on attending games or wearing the jersey around town. Most people wear a long-sleeve shirt or sweatshirt underneath a jersey to stay warm during games.

      Coordinate an entire throwback uniform for your favorite team by purchasing matching hats and shirts. Teams that have throwback jerseys available also have other clothing items featuring old logos and color schemes ready for purchase.
