Female Football Fanatic: What your girlfriend chooses to wears says about her
In the realm of female football fans my research has opined four distinct team apparel choices that give us some extra incite into the type of girls that are out there, some of which you have chosen as a partner.
1) Your girlfriend wears the quarterback’s jersey: It’s obvious your girl is trying to be supportive with your endeavors to root for your team but this tells me that she really doesn’t care about football. She got the first and most popular jersey she saw in the store. You know, the big names that she only recognizes because they were on the cover of US weekly or in TMZ. (Brady, Romo). The good thing is she cares about you and is willing to play along when it comes to the NFL. She listens intently, or so it seems, while you describe to her the subtle nuances of a Cover 2 and a Cover 3 pass defense, however deep down she is thinking about the episode of project runway that she DVR’d. In reality I think this girl needs to be watched very closely. Anyone sporting a QB jersey is surely a bandwagon fan, capable of liking whomever is the most popular man at the moment. (See Jessica Simpson) If you’re not careful with this type of chick you might get benched for the backup just when you thought you were starting to grasp the offense, if ya know what I mean.
2) Your girlfriend wears team apparel other than a jersey. i.e. hat, shirt, sweatshirt: Here your girl is really
saying that she could care less about the sport. She chose to find the most fashionable team item that would look cute in public. She probably even picked up a magazine or two at the gas station on the way to tailgate in the parking lot. Not as fake as the quarterback wearing chick, because she doesn’t hide the fact that she thinks football is pointless. Supporting your “Man Time” out with friends is why she’s really there. She thinks that if you wanted a girl to act tough and get riled up over football you might as well be gay and just date a man. To her this game just means that next weekend it’s her turn and “Sex in the City” just came out on DVD. This type of girl is probably even willing to just stay at home while you run off to the game with your guys. Although she will still give you the puppy dog face and tell you not to leave, she knows she’s saving herself from 4 hours of binge drinking, cold weather, and your obnoxious group of guys. This girl is honest, considerate, real, and stands up for what she wants. Not any guy can handle this type of girl. Not just falling in line like the other chickens is something many men are not capable of handling.
3) Your girlfriend wears a defensive players’ jersey: This is a girl that is down for the cause. Not only would an
individual have to know a decent amount about the team to even find a defensive jersey in the store but she would also have to know how important defense is to the game in general. I can just see it now; a girl rolling up to Fedex Field decked out in a Darrell Green jersey. A big name yes, but not just any casual fan knows about his incredible 18 years of devotion to the franchise. A girl in a unique defense jersey says a lot. She’s dedicated. Willing to stick in for the long haul. If a girl is at a skins game with a Darrell Green jersey on you can bet on two things. 1. She genuinely enjoys football. She’d be at the game whether she was with you or not. 2. Her father made up for his lack of knowledge about a girl’s interest and turned Sunday afternoon’s into Daddy takes daughter to the game. Here’s to you fine sir, for making every young man’s football sunday that much better.
4).Girl dresses as scandalous as possible and get’s wasted This one is where trouble can come in. These girls
typically hunt and forage the parking lot in groups. Each one is the ordained “Big Sister” of the next and they always get each other’s back. This type of girl doesn’t know a damn thing about football. She came to meet her next ex-boyfriend. Sad thing is she probably won’t even remember the evening when she wakes up in a strangers house. The walk of shame is extra stingy when you’re wearing a day old football tee-shirt the size of a dish rag. Not to mention the beer and mustard stains. The guys’ roomates will barely hold their laughter until she quickly slams the front door in horor as she leaves.
So what do you think? Where does she fall in line?

What about those of us girls that love the game but are afraid of the commitment … of buying a jersey?
I only wear sports apparel because my husband buys it for me. The only sport I truely love and enjoy is tennis. I will watch football if I have no choice and there is food and beer. Same with soccer…even though soccer has some hotties…’ello David Beckham! I would love a good “snog” with him…
ummmm, sorry, what was the question??
toots…those girls are perfect
Your line about the girl in the parking lot who “came to meet her next ex-boyfriend” had me cracking up at my laptop. I think that most girls are #1 and follow sports because of a guy that they are dating or a player that they think is cute. I’m happy that my group has a lot of #3s, though. In fact, I *might* have ended things with a couple of guys over the years because they never turned on ESPN. We all have deal breakers

City Girl you gotta be a three. If not, I’ve lost a step.
I actually brought this post up with some of my girls over the weekend. They loved your classification system! And, yes, I am a three, as are most of my friends.
City Girl what would really be great is if you got all your friends to read and comment on our site!! Might be some free gear in line for ya if you help spread the word.

I’ll see what I can do (no free gear req’d). But, as a disclaimer, most of my close friends don’t even read my blog, let alone comment. Just not their thing…
