Clever Idea, Houston Texans Hosting Jersey Exchange for Fans

Being a sports fan for any team is not easy, you’re going to struggle through tough years. It happens with every franchise, but that’s how you separate the true fans from the bandwagon fans. In the sports world, teams are always changing, players move teams, and sometimes you end up with a jersey for a player that is no longer on the team. Player’s jerseys can cost a lot of money which is why I thought it was so cool that this week ONLY, the Houston Texans are offering their fans a jersey exchange program.

The concept is pretty simple if you have a jersey now of a former Houston Texans player and want to trade it in for a new jersey you can save 44% off the price of a new one. I’m not sure if I have ever heard of a discount this large when trading in older merchandise like this, but it’s a great idea for a franchise that is rebuilding.

LOOK: The story behind every NFL team name

Stacker delved into the story behind every NFL football team name. Overall team records, also included, are reflective of NFL regular-season games. There are some football teams with well-known nicknames—the Jets, for instance, are often referred to as Gang Green—but we also divulge how some teams’ official names are sparingly used (the Jets’ neighbors, the Giants, are actually known as the New York Football Giants). Sometimes a team name can tell you a lot about local history: The Vikings of Minnesota draw upon the area’s strong ties to Scandinavia, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are dripping in local legend related to Florida’s pirate past.

Let’s kick off the countdown with the folks who earned their nickname by buying boxes of used team jerseys.
