New England Patriots Merchandise

An East coast favorite, the New England Patriots --also known as the "Pats" in football circles--have been a strong force in the National Football League since their installation in 1970.  They've made their home in Boston but have a strong following throughout the nation, specifically in the New England region (a very fitting scenario).  Having won three Super Bowls in four years (2001 to 2005)--a feat that was preceded only by the Dallas Cowboys --the Pats' fan base has swelled rapidly in size and intensity over years.  Pooled in top football categories as "the team to beat", you'll be hard-pessed to avoid the red, white and blue 'patriotic' colors during Monday Night Madness.  If you aren't a New England Patriots fan already, you might want to think about blending in with your rowdy brethren, especially if you're perusing the streets of Boston on game nights.  You know what they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!  But since there's so much team paraphernalia to choose from, we've created this spiffy guide that lays out some of the different trends in fan favorites.  Who knows, this might make you a fan for life!

Hats

Hats are a simple and efficient way to reflect team loyalties and are often a signature item to one's game outfit.  Whether you're a guy or girl, young or old, they will get you the look you need to transform into the weathered aficionado.  Hats are also an ideal and versatile accessory: good for both rain and shine, they'll shield your eyes from the glaring sun and beating rain.  Clearly, hats come in many shapes and forms (visors top hats, sombreros, etc.), but you'll probably want a more basic shape to start with, the most popular being the 'baseball cap' (not to be confused with a hat representing a baseball team).  But which style will you choose?  

Wool Hats 

Usually made out of cotton, wool baseball hats tend to be a bit snugger, heavier, and warmer.  It's a great fit for those striving to beat the cold!

Mesh Hats 

If you're hot-headed, cool your burners by flipping on a mesh hat that will allow your noggin to breath in the warm weather.  The mesh backing to these caps permits a cool breeze to shift through your hair on the hottest of days.

Adjustable Hats 

If you've heard someone comment on your big head, you might want to keep your vanity in check.  But if they're referring to your over-sized scalp, then you might want to opt for an adjustable hat that will fit any extra-large head.

Shirts

The ever-useful, ever-popular t-shirt is a phenomenon that has invaded closets of individuals around the globe.  Appearing in all shapes, colors and sizes, this incredibly versatile apparel can be worn in just about any casual situation.  Additionally, the vivaciously creative fashion industry has branched out with different variations on the omnipresent t-shirt.  However, with the unending options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide what shirt is right for you.  The New England Patriots have provided it's ardent fans with copious amounts of possibilities, from the casual 'tee', to the team jersey.  To keep your head from spinning into another dimension, we've provided a small sampling of shirt types.  But don't forget, each category maintains an abundance of color and design alternatives!

T-shirts 

The good 'ole t-shirt is always an ideal pick, and the football industry agrees.  There are unending variations to the size, color and design of a t-shirt and the Pats have certainly welcomed this creativity with open arms!

Polos 

Polo shirts add a slightly classier style to the t-shirt norm.  Cut in an athletic style with breathable fabrics, these polo shirts differ from their preppy brothers (think Lacoste ) by maintaining a looser fit.

Long Sleeves 

Long-sleeved t-shirts have fluctuated in and out of main-stream fashion in the recent years but will always be big in the sports world.  Light yet warm, these shirts are the perfect happy-medium between t-shirt and sweatshirt.

Jerseys 

 If you're a Pats fan and you want to shout it, a most effective way is to sport a team jersey.  Different from the popular cotton t-shirt, jerseys are made from polyester and often attempt to replicate authentic professional shirts.

Ladies Tees 

Football merchandise certainly isn't just for the men, women get a share in the world of fan-dom as well!  Although t-shirts are the most popular item for women to display their team support, paraphernalia can range from visors  to bracelets

On the Warm Side

Brrr, it's getting cold in here, there must be some Pats in the atmosphere!  Get the hottest in winter gear and stay warm as football season kicks it up a notch.  Tailgating in the snow is no easy task, so make sure you wrap yourself in a thick layer of Patriot enthusiasm by starting with a hefty garment to keep your extremities from going numb.  Your taste in merchandise diversity certainly doesn't need to be lacking with the number of cold-weather items to choose from.  As an extra layer of protection against the brutal wind, make sure you bring your team blanket  to the game.

Leather Jackets 

Feel like a champion no matter where you go by donning a sturdy leather jacket sporting the Pats logo. Being warm never felt so cool!

Hoody Sweatshirts 

A staple item to any college student's wardrobe, the hooded sweatshirt is a great way to display team/school loyalties while clothing yourself in warm, comfy goodness.

Crew Sweatshirts 

Crew-neck sweatshirts make excellent additions to ones game attire.  It provides a thick layer of comfort without the effect of the bulky 'hoody' addition.

Zip Ups 

 If you need an extra zip to your winter outfit, sport one of these products to stay warm.  If you're especially feeling the team spirit bug, leave your jacket un-zippered to display your Patriot shirt underneath as well.

For the Little Ones

Who said adults have all the football fun?  There are plenty of Pats gear to choose from in the children's department, so take your pick (maybe little Joey or Katie can give an opinion too).  Accessorize your little one with these goodies and he/she will be the highlight of the evening (besides that spectacular catch at the end of the game).  

Infant 3-Piece Sets 

Dying to dress your child to impress but fearing the breezy weather?  Not a problem!  These 3-piece infant sets come with matching hats that will warm the ear tips and zazz up the outfit at the same time.

Toddler Cheerleader Dresses 

Go team, go!  Turn your whole family into a cheering squad by adding little Susie to the mix with a Patriots Cheerleader outfit.  Grab some pom-poms and a megaphone, and you'll have the whole section on its feet!

Baby Rattles 

 Sing your little one a lullaby with the accompaniment of a New England Patriots rattle.  "Can you say... Momma?  Can you say... Dadda?  Can you say... Super Bowl Champions?"  You might have to work extra hard on that last one, though.
