I saw a comedienne who asked why men wear team jerseys when they watch football - do they think they are on the team? I laughed when I heard that thinking of My Wonderful Husband and now my two sons as well. My Wonderful Husband always wears his jerseys for football games and soccer games and now The Bear and The Boy do too. They are even asking Santa for some additional jerseys this year. Given how much My Wonderful Husband likes to wear his teams' jerseys during games, today was a trifecta day for games and jerseys. The day started with a Steelers game in which all three of my boys wore their Steelers jerseys. My Wonderful Husband has become a Steelers fan now that we live in Steelers country. Next came the Redskins game and My Wonderful changed into his Redskins jersey. This is his all time favorite team and he was thrilled that they actually won! That jersey will become sacred now.. or more sacred.... Finally, the Jets are now playing. My Wonderful Husband did not grow up a Giants fan, even living in NJ in a family of Giants fans. He was a Redskins fan. So, why the Jets jersey you ask? Well, a few years ago The Boy decided that he liked the Jets because they wore green. (I had nothing to do with this type of reasoning although it would seem that I did) My Wonderful Husband was willing to encourage his son who was hellbent on rooting for his green team. The Jets were ok - just as long as he didn't go liking the Eagles who are also green. Given that his one son liked the Jets, My Wonderful Husband started rooting for them as well, thus the need for the jersey. So as I said, today was a jersey trifecta. Three games, Three Jerseys, Three silly boys.....
