Boy takes off Brett Favre jersey for the first time since 2003
Filed under: Teens, In The News
There are fans and then their are fans. Take David Witthoft, a Green Bay Packers fan who got a Brett Favre jersey for Christmas in 2003...and then never took it off. David wore the jersey every day until April 23rd, which was his twelfth birthday. Apparently, David was starting to feel a little self-conscious, because the jersey barely covered his belly.David's mom washed the jersey every other day and repaired it as necessary. It's not unusual for kids have a favorite piece of clothing that they request to wear again and again and again, but four plus years? That's a long time! David plans to attend the Packer's game on September 8th, when the number 4 -- Brett Favre's number -- will be retired.
Does your child have a favorite piece of clothing they never want to take off? When they finally do, here are some cute craft ideas for preserving that beloved piece of their childhood.

Lisa said...Tina--not sure what you're reading. He was not 21 when he put it on and 25 when he took it off. The article specifically says he took it off on his 12th birthday. As far as the parents go, I just wonder how often this kid hears the word "no." That might be something they want to try.

LJ said...Tina, it said he took it OFF when he was 12, not 25!!! That means he was in fact a child when he began wearing it.
His mom can cut off the sleeves and sew it into a square pillow for him now.
