Football Fans Wearing NFL Jerseys, Helmets and Body Paint

Football Fans Wearing NFL Jerseys, Helmets and Body Paint

Oh, lighten up! The wigs. The official NFL jerseys. The pig snouts. The strips and stripes and logos stenciled on face and abdomen. The Swiss cheese hats. The Viking helmets. It's all just good, clean fun. Isn't it?

Well, maybe when you try to wash off those blue and white stripes, not so clean. Better stick with the NFL jersey.

Still, why go to all that trouble just to root for your favorite football team? Can't you have just as much fun in jeans and a T-shirt as you could in, say, a Swiss cheese hat and an authentic Packers jersey?

Maybe not.

Consider this: the team itself is not satisfied to dress in jeans and a T-shirt. Granted, it helps to have a visual clue when you're trying to throw a pass. Or make a block. Keeps the passing to and blocking of the wrong team to a minimum.
