The One Gift Every Sports Fan Will Love

A sports team jersey is the gift that keeps on giving year after year, season after season. No matter the occasion, it's the one thing that every sports fan will love and be excited to receive (and won't end up re-gifting). From him to her to kids, babies and pets, there's a jersey style and fit for everyone on your list. Jerseys are also wearable tributes to the sports legends we've loved and lost like the incomparable Kobe Bryant, who tragically passed away earlier this year, allowing fans to celebrate and share their legacies for years to come.

Before you start shopping, you might have to do a little homework to make sure you pick the right jersey:

• Confirm the recipient's favorite sports team(s) (if you don't already know, avoid being obvious and either ask someone who knows the person or do a little investigating on social media).

• Consider sizing and fit. Women's jerseys are tailored for the female figure, so if you're shopping for a woman, buy a women's jersey. Youth/kids jerseys are generally cheaper, but they're made for a child's proportions, so keep in mind they may not fit adults as well. If you're in doubt about sizing, just size up because you can always tuck or tie a jersey and luckily, oversized fashion is actually right on trend.

• Decide on your budget and look for coupon codes or deals. Jerseys can be very expensive, especially when it comes to certain styles and players. Once you know the specifications for the jersey you're looking for, shop around to see where you can get the best deal. 

• Players come and go, get traded and retire, but fans are forever. If you want to go all out for your gift, get a personalized sports jersey with your recipient's name or nickname on the back. This is sure to guarantee you a lifetime invite to gameday watch parties.

• Once you've done your homework and you're ready to shop, I recommend checking out these websites:

• Fanatics

• Lids

• NFLShop

• NBA Store 

• MLB Shop

• NHL Shop

• MLS Store

• Poshmark (tons of vintage finds and you can often negotiate a deal with the seller!) 

• Amazon

I hope this helps you find the perfect jersey for every sports fan on your gift list! If you're looking for something specific, leave a comment on this post and I'll do my best to help you find it.
