Gridiron Accessorizing

I love football, football and more football, and when I’m not watching it, or playing it, I strongly wish that I was. There truly is nothing more exciting than playing football. I get together with my buddies every other Saturday to throw the pigskin around. My position is wide receiver and I wouldn’t have it any other way. However, it was not too long ago that I thought I might have to stop playing the position. Catching that oblong shaped beloved ball was chaffing my hands something awful, making it very uncomfortable for me to type when work rolled around again on Monday. Okay, I know, you’re screaming at me right now, wondering why if I’m such a football fan I didn’t think to get a set of gloves. Honestly, just call me stupid, but the point I’m about to make is that I did get a pair of gloves, and man I cannot begin to describe how much my game has improved since. Using a pair of gloves has given me better handling of the ball and a better grip so that it is less likely to slip out of my hands. Now for those of you who don’t know, you can’t just use any old pair of gloves and assume they will work. Football gloves are different from a regular pair of gloves. Football gloves are made from stronger material; hence, when you go shopping for a pair you will notice that a good set of football gloves can be a bit more pricy than that pair of driving gloves sitting in your closet. Football gloves can cost from $20.00 to $90.00 depending on the design and maker. You will find while shopping that there are several different styles to choose from; styles which vary in material and design, and which also come in sizes to fit every age group. The pricier brands of football gloves include Reebok, Addidas and Nike, and if they happen to have an NFL logo stitched on to them, then you can bet you’ll be paying for the privilege of having that exhibited on the gloves. It should also be noted that not just any pair of football gloves will do. You have to buy a pair that is suitable to your position; for example, if you are a running back you need to by football gloves suited to a running back. The same applies to receivers, linebackers and quarterbacks. Whatever type of gloves you need you can also be found on the Internet, and you may even find them at cheaper prices. Consider browsing through websites for special deals or last chance clearance items. If you’re looking to save money then you may consider purchasing the gloves of a lesser known brand name. Often, the gloves are made of the same design and material, the only difference is the name and the prestige it demands. If you want to greatly improve your performance when playing football then you need a pair of gloves. No matter which design or brand you decide on, just get a pair and start sticking it to the opposing team. Okay, I gotta go; there’s a pickup game starting in the park in 15 minutes. Man, I love football!
