Football fans build their week around one game. Saturday or Sunday decides the mood of the next six days, and the fan you are shopping for probably remembers wins and losses from decades ago better than last month's plans. That makes them easy to shop for, as long as the gift starts with their team's actual record.
A quick note on how our prints work: they use your team's real games, scores and opponents, set in our own design. They carry no team or league logos, so they work for any team, pro or college, and they are independent keepsakes, not official merchandise.
The Day You Were Born, their team's game from their birthday week
The Day You Were Born is our original box score print, made from their team's real game. It works for pro football and college football. Since football teams don't play every day, we use the first game after their birthday. Choose the team, the colors and the name, and preview it before you buy. From $45.
For a fan with a long history, the Lifetime Birthday Record puts their team's game from every birthday of their life on one print (the first game after it, for football), with their lifetime birthday record, best birthday and longest streak. From $45.
The Rivalry of Your Life, for the fan whose season comes down to one game
Some fans would trade a winning season for one win over the rival. The Rivalry of Your Life covers their team against its rival in every game since the day they were born: the lifetime record, the first meeting of their life, the latest one, the biggest win, the toughest loss, the record by decade and the most recent meetings. It's a fun gift for a house divided, and an even better one for the fan who has been on the right side lately. From $45.
The game they still talk about
Every fan has one game they will describe to anyone who asks. A few prints are made for exactly that game.
The Drive Chart draws every possession of one pro football game in order, as bars across a field: where each drive started and ended, touchdowns in brass, field goals, punts and turnovers marked, quarters ruled off and the final score big at the top. Their team always drives the same direction, so the story reads at a glance. From $45.
The Final Drive tells how their game ended, play by play: the drive that won it, with down and distance and a drawn field, each play written in plain sentences. It is made for the comeback and the last-minute winner. From $45.
If they were in the stands for that game, I Was There turns the box score of any game they attended into a print. From $45.
For the fan who travels to games
Visiting every pro stadium is a longer road than people think. The Stadium Bucket List comes in a pro football version: every stadium on one map, with the ones they have been to filled in with the month and year. From $45.
For the fan who sits outside in November no matter what, the Born on Game Day Stadium Seat is a padded, folding bleacher seat with a backrest, carrying handles and a pocket, printed with their name, birth date and the final score of their birthday game. It suits a high school Friday night as well as a stadium. From $64.
For the fan who loves the history of the game
Equipment Through the Years shows every piece of football gear, era by era from the 1870s to today, in the original drawings from real U.S. patents, each piece marked with its year, patent number and inventor. Add a name or title at the top. It reads well in an office, where it doesn't need to be anyone's team to start a conversation. From $45.
For the fan who plays
If the football fan in your life is a high school or college player, The Season, Football sets up to six of their season stats big, then lists every game with the date, opponent, result and their line, plus the record and the finish. Teams can order one for every player. From $45.
Smaller gifts for game day
For a stocking or a tailgate, the Born on Game Day Can Cooler (from $15) and the Rally Towel (from $24) carry their name and the final score of their birthday game. Both are easy add-ons to a print.
What you'll need before you order
For most of these, you need their team and their birth date. For a game-specific print, you need the date of the game and the teams. If you're not sure which game they mean when they tell "the story," ask a sibling or an old friend who was there. They usually know.
