Celebrating the Start of the Season with Kansas City Chiefs Outdoor Gear

The Fall season is upon us, which means football has started across the country. For those of us who love the Kansas City Chiefs, that also means it's time to get that outdoor gear into our yards. Most football fans like to show their team support. With outdoor stuff, it's easy to show the neighbors and friends that you support the Kansas City Chiefs.

Make Your Yard a Chiefs Support Yard

There are many ways to display your support of the Kansas City Chiefs. Here are just a few of my favorites.

• Yard flags - waving in the breeze they attract attention
• Door mats - a welcoming announcement to all your guests
• Grill cover - leave this one on until you are ready to fire up the grill
• Garden gnome - a touch of whimsy to show your support

You can probably come up with plenty more ideas or unique ways to use outdoor stuff to show your support. Any way you choose will help bring the Super Bowl rings to Kansas City this year.

Show Off Your Chiefs Outdoor Gear with a Football Party

The Chiefs are starting off well this year, so why not ask a few friends or neighbors over for a football party? You can use this as an excuse to show off your latest Kansas City Chiefs outdoor gear. But you can have also have a great time cheering on your favorite team. And it's always better with other fans helping your cheer.

A football party can be as simple or elaborate as you want. Which works the same way with your supporting outdoor stuff. Make your whole yard a display of Chiefs support, or just add a few items to show your party guests who you're supporting this year.  That may make the difference between a win or a loss.

Serving Dishes for Football Parties

Football fans love football parties. That's just one of those facts of life. And a good one as far as I'm concerned. I love both football games and parties with that sports theme.

Because I do have a Super Bowl party every year, as well as numerous parties during the season, I have a nice collection of football party serving dishes. And I love those, too. Sometimes, it's just snacks for a Sunday afternoon of watching pro football on TV. Other times, it's a great tailgate party for the big game.

My football serving dishes are part of every party I have. Chip and dip sets that look like a football stadium are fun to use for many different types of foods. Everything from hot wings to veggie platters.

I can serve a fresh round of drinks on football trays and set up small bowls of pretzels, nuts and chips around the room. When I do a big buffet table for my Super Bowl party, I always set up my table with plenty of fun football serving dishes.

My niece is also a big football fan. Of course, I planned out a birthday party with a football theme for

her. Talk about a great party! All the kids got involved in a game of touch football and loads of fun along with it.

There just seems to be no end to the ways you can celebrate the fun of football. Whether you love the game yourself or are preparing a party for some one who does, football serving dishes are a great way to make the look of the party more fun.

Christmas Ornaments for Denver Broncos Fans

OK, let's be honest. Can we ever have too much support for our favorite football team? Not in my opinion. So Denver Broncos fans can certainly have some fun with Christmas tree ornaments just to show off their favorite team.

Denver Broncos Christmas Ornaments

I did have some fun updating my article on the Denver Broncos Christmas Ornaments. I found some of the cutest decorations for the tree. Of course, the good ones that are well liked by so many are still there. But new ones have joined the collection.

With my love of Denver, having spent a wonderful part of my life living in that city, I just have to cheer on Payton Manning and the rest of that awesome team. But, I'm not the only one. I still have friends in Denver and I do love to encourage them as fans, too.

Great Gifts for Broncos Fans

With all the Broncos fans that I know and care about, it's easy to pick gifts for them. Each year, I give out a few new Christmas ornaments to these friends. OK, I will admit that one couple in particular are even more fanatical than I am about their favorite team.

But that just makes their Denver Broncos Christmas ornaments more special. Their tree is loaded with the blue and orange. It's so much fun to visit them and see all the ornaments I've given them with places of honor on the tree.

So whether you are giving the gift to yourself, or someone else, a Denver Broncos Christmas Ornament works great. We have to keep up that support.

Will the 12th Man Win Again with the Seattle Seahawks?

The Seattle Seahawks definitely have a home field advantage with their 12th Man. The fans can fully create havoc for the visiting team by the level of noise they make. Now, will that make a difference enough to help Seattle win again?

Super Bowl XLVIII Champions

Yes, Seattle is the reigning Super Bowl Champion for 2014. They did it in February with a rousing victory over the Denver Broncos and quarterback Peyton Manning. OK, it was even a bit embarrassing for the Broncos, but that's a different story and this is a different season.

The issue always becomes how hard it is for the Super Bowl champs to duplicate. There's a very good reason for that. Every team they play ramps up extra hard just to beat those champs. It's hard for any team, including a champion team, to have to fight that hard every single game.

This is the first Christmas that Seattle Seahawks fans can hang Super Bowl Champion ornaments on their trees. So the race is on to get them before they sell out. This is actually the first time ever. Seattle won their first championship in franchise history.

Will the 12th Man Do it Again?

The 12th Man, meaning the fans that attend the home games, are certainly going to try to give their full support this year. And why wouldn't they? Every fan of every team wants to see their favorite team go on to win the Super Bowl this season.

Every fan wants to show how much they support their own team. I just can't imagine that the 12th Man factor won't be another big support for the Seahawks. Every fan, whether a formal part of the 12th Man or a couch version of it, can enjoy some team support with Christmas tree ornaments. It's time to get thinking of Christmas decorations, too.

Fall and Football Season: Show Your Support

With Fall comes that great time of year when the National Football League gets going. The start of the season is always a time to feel energized about your own team. No matter what they did last year, this is a new year, a new season and a new hope.

My yard shows my support of my favorite team with a garden flag and other outdoor stuff. Frankly, I love the idea of showing my neighbors, and anybody who happens to go by, that I'm a football fan.

Every team in the NFL has their own garden flags. You can choose your favorite team garden flag to display in your own yard. But, if you're a fan of Kansas City and the great Chiefs, check out all their outdoor decor. Maybe it's the Indy Colts that you support. Their outdoor decorations are grouped here. Possibly it's the 49ers from San Francisco that you cheer. No problem there. Plenty of great outdoor stuff is ready for you to browse.

As a true football fan, I'm watching games on Thursday night, all day Sunday, then again on Monday night. Yes, I do have one team that I love best, but I also enjoy following lots of other teams. So, one game a week just isn't enough. I need to satisfy my football passion with multiple games. After all, the season is short. I want to see all the games I can.

And I want to show my support of my favorite team in every way that I can. No matter what team you support, show your support with some outdoor decor. Football season doesn't last too long. Maybe this year, your team will be the Super Bowl winner. At the least, the start of the season is a time for hope.

Football Birthday Parties for Kids

A football fan is wanting to use that theme for his birthday party. So what does a parent do? I got the desperate call from my sister. Her son wants to have a football party for his 10th birthday this year. Can I help her plan this?

The answer was, of course, yes! Young kids of this age are active and energetic. Football activities make great party games to use up some of that energy. No, this doesn't mean you have to find a football game to take all the kids to. It just means that you need to work with the decorations, party supplies, menu items and games in a football theme.

The birthday cake for my young nephew was a full sheet cake decorated to look like the field. Green icing spread over the whole thing, with white icing as the yard markers. The menu included a cheese ball made into a football shape. Chips and snacks were served in football-shaped bowls. And a serving tray that looked just like a referee's jersey held all the beverages. That part was simple.

We choose party invitations that were fully football designed. We even made use of the elements in the invitations for decorating ideas. Miniature football players were set around the buffet table. And my nephew's favorite team jerseys were hung as a backdrop to the party table.

Even the party favors were all about football. The bags had football stickers on them, included football shaped chocolate candy, and Nerf-style mini balls were added. Twice during the party, all the kids were sent outside to play a game of tag-football.

The party was hit with all the guests. Best of all, it was a hit with my nephew. His final words to his mother as she tucked him into bed that night were, "This was the best party ever!" You can't wish for more.

After the Super Bowl: Still Football Fun

The Super Bowl is now in the history books. Number 48 went down as a boring game unless you are a Seattle Seahawks fan, that is. Yes, a great win for the Seahawks, but not a great game for us fans to watch.

So the off-season is now upon us. What are we to do without our weekly dose of football games? The great fun of cheering on our favorite team, or teams in many cases, is over for 7 months. Pre-season doesn't start until August.

Never fear. There are football things to do. The shuffling coach watch is on. The college draft is upcoming. And let us not forget the fun of the replay.

The NFL Network is busy showing reruns of great plays, great games, the best and the worst. Along with the most hilarious, the most dangerous, etc. From the 2013-2014 season there are hundreds of thousands of plays that can be grouped just right and just for some great highlight reels.

At Football Fan Passion, we are already busy planning out the teams to feature, the new gear to show off and football stuff to bring into your home or give as gifts. And there are plenty of great new items to get us started for the 2014-15 season!

Maybe you are ready for a football fan cave! No, we aren't talking a "man" cave. There are plenty of women football fans. So we're talking about a place designed just to cheer on your favorite team with plenty of that team's special goodies. Goodies that are required if your team will be the winner this season. Remember it's only crazy if it doesn't work!

So lament not about the off-season. Super Bowl 48 is over and the celebrations are over. Now, let's have some fun planning for Super Bowl 49! Well, actually the whole season that leads to it anyway.

Time for Super Bowl Party Planning

Yes, it's that time of year again. The regular football season is over and we are scheduling our weekends to plant ourselves in front of the TV to watch all the playoff games. Everything gearing towards that great final game of the year. The Super Bowl. First Sunday in February, this year it's the 3rd.

That means you better get planning for your Super Bowl party. Mine is an annual event. Friends, family and neighbors all gather at my house for the big game. I pick out my great Super Bowl party invitations, get them ordered, then start planning my menu.

My football serving dishes all come out of storage. They make up the majority of my party decorations. Each year, I seem to add a few new ones. Honestly, the only reason I can think that I do that is because I get so excited.

I like to plan an easy menu, one that I can fix ahead of time and not have to do any fussing during the game. I set out a buffet, so everyone can help themselves. That way I can be watching and cheering the big game, too.

Whether this year is your first Super Bowl party or the next one in your annual line-up, get started with those great Super Bowl party invites, then start working on your menu so you know what special football serving dishes you will need.

A Denver Broncos Christmas Tree

Ah, yes, Christmas is just around the corner. That means any of you Denver Broncos fans out there need to be thinking about getting the Christmas tree decorated for your favorite team. And what better way than with Denver Broncos ornaments.

After having spent several years living in the Denver area, I am still excited to watch Broncos football. The team is coming together in an exciting way and well on their way to post-season play this year. My friends from Denver will be getting a fun Christmas gift this year from me. Yep, Broncos tree ornaments. And I know everyone will be thrilled. We are all big fans!

We all enjoy decorating for the holidays. Couple that with Christmas time being an exciting time for football fans and you have the perfect combination. Decorate your tree with ornaments for your favorite team. For Broncos fans, these Christmas tree ornaments are perfect.

Whether you are the fan yourself, or you want a great gift for a fan on your gift list, Denver Bronco Christmas tree ornaments are ideal. We want to have lots of fun ways to show our support, to cheer our team on, and to use our best efforts to ensure game wins.

Getting Ready for a Kansas City Chiefs Christmas

Anyone like me, who thinks the Kansas City Chiefs are getting to be the best team in football will love to decorate the Christmas tree with special Chiefs ornaments. For me, I can enjoy multiple football teams, but the Chiefs are extra special for me.

My Christmas tree gets new ornaments each year. Not many, but some that are personal favorites or memories of those times that are important to me. With the Chiefs becoming the team to beat this year, and my long time support of them paying off, I want to add some Kansas City Chiefs ornaments to my tree this year.

Glass balls with polka dots, candy canes with the Chiefs logo, even stars just for KC football, I think I may find just the right ones to include on my Christmas tree. Yes, my tree is getting very eclectic, but that's just fine with me.

Each year after the holidays, I carefully pack away all my Christmas decorations. Then, when this time of year comes around again and I get to unpack those items, I also get to remember the wonderful memories of why I chose each ornament. Next year, I will be able to unpack my Kansas City Chiefs ornaments and remember their fantastic year.

Decorating the Christmas Tree for the New England Patriots

This is in honor of my mother, a huge sports fan all her life. She spent many years living near Boston and fell in love the New England Patriots. I don't blame her. This football team seems to be always good with lots for their fans to cheer for.

Even when they didn't make it to the Super Bowl, the Patriots were still worth following. So my mother always included some Pats items in her Christmas decorating. That's why I feature New England Patriots ornaments.

The Pats hold a special place in my heart because of my mother. She taught me the joy of following favorite sports team, cheering for the successes and lamenting the losses. Without a doubt, she would have easily called herself a fanatic. New England Patriots Christmas ornaments were great gift ideas for her.

If you are a Patriots fan, or have some on your gift list, Christmas tree ornaments are great for you, or them. Besides, the blue and red colors of the team make a bright addition to any tree. So get your shopping list ready and have a look at New England Patriots Christmas Ornaments to find some of your own favorites.

St. Louis Rams Fan Getting Ready for Christmas

If you are a St. Louis Rams fan, you are probably looking for great ideas for Christmas. As a Rams fan myself, I am always on the look out.

This year, my Christmas tree will have some new ornaments. That's one thing I love. Adding in new ornaments that reflect my love of my beloved team. Any fan, no matter how passionate will enjoy have a few extra goodies on the tree.

After the tree decorations, I'll bet you have some Rams stuff on your wish list, too! I don't think we can ever have enough stuff with that great logo on it.

Whether you are the one with the long wish list of gift ideas or you need one for a Rams fan on your gift list, how about some great ideas for stocking stuffers and other gift ideas? There are plenty of ideas for small gift items as well as bigger ones. Or rather ones that don't fit in a stocking!

My wish list for Rams stuff is growing by the minute. So if you need someone to add to your gift list, I would love a Sam Bradley jersey! Or just about any other Rams gift item will do for me. Including some new Rams Christmas tree ornaments.

Show Your Kansas City Chiefs Support with Outdoor Stuff

We all know that football fans are really fanatics about their teams. The Kansas City Chiefs fans are no different. So why not decorate your outdoor space showing off your support for your beloved team? That may just make the difference this year.

You can laugh all you want at the commercial that says, it's only weird if it doesn't work, but we fans know the truth in that. If we forget to put the team jersey on the dog and our team loses, we know why!

Showing the neighbors, as well as the world, that you are a fanatic about the Kansas City Chiefs is not weird at all. In fact, Chiefs outdoor decor is a good thing for us fans.

Whether you like just a simple yard flag with the Chiefs logo, or you prefer to add a front door mat that works for the Chiefs, you will still show off your team support. Of course, you can go all out and put up lots of outdoor decor for the team. We don't mind that.

All the fans of the Chiefs will cheer you on. I'll be happy to drive by and honk my support as well. So feel free to add all the Kansas City Chiefs outdoor decor you like. That may be just the thing the team needs to make it to the Super Bowl this year.

Football Party Planning Time

When you are planning a football party, you have a main theme built in, of course, but you can consider refining that theme if you want. If you are planning a party to watch a big game, then you most likely want to use a theme that follows your favorite team.

But, what if it's a kid's birthday party? And just about football in general, no specific game or team? Then you can have a little more fun.

You might want to consider a gridiron theme. Everything designed around the football field. There are even plastic tablecloths that have a reproduction of the field, numbers included.

How about a favorite player theme? The guests can all wear the jerseys of their favorite players. Add in some football serving dishes to make a fun accent.

For an grown-up birthday party, you might consider the age theme. There are party invitations with milestone ages like the yard markers on a football field. Or maybe a vintage style is more in your tastes. You can decorate with decals, ticket reproductions and old uniforms from the college teams of the 1940's or 1950's.

All fun ideas to work with when you plan a football party. Start with the invitations, pick out some decor and add in some football serving dishes for the food and you can be all set.

Baby Stuff for Colts Fans, Or their Kids

A new baby is on the way and the parents are fans of the Indianapolis Colts? Then you want baby gifts that are just designed to show off fan support.

We all know that football fans can be fanatics. I know I am, so isn't everybody? But, aside from me, the Colts are a team to watch this season. So fans will certainly be fanatics. And what a cute way to support that team with baby gifts that display Colt logos.

Great gift ideas include pacifiers, bibs, even little baby blankets. These make wonderful gifts for baby showers and newborn gifts.

Every fan wants the whole family to get into the act when that weekly game is on, or when taking the family to the stadium for a home game. So, little extras for the baby, like Colts baby gear, make ideal choices.

Since I'm a great proponent of decking everyone out in their football gear for my favorite teams when I get to watch them, aren't all fans the same way? I'll bet there are many out there who would love to include the new baby in the fanatic activity for the Indianapolis Colts.

When it's time to find baby gifts, skip the typical pink or blue receiving blankets. The parents have enough of those anyway. Give them something they will love and appreciate. Baby stuff just for Colts fans! I can assure you, as a parent and a football fanatic, the parents will love it.

The NFL Supports Breast Cancer in October

In October, the whole of the NFL will be showing their support for breast cancer awareness and research. The NFL will go pink. Yep, those big, tough men players are going to support a women's issue.

And for good reason. Too many of the women in their lives, wives, mothers, daughters have suffered from breast cancer. Many are survivors but enough aren't. This is a serious enough issue that these big, tough men are proud to wear pink in October.

This is something that we can all applaud and show our own support throughout October. Keep a watch for your favorite team, officials and coaches decked out with pink extras along with the official pink ribbon with the NFL symbol on it.

Throughout the month, you will see many different teams showing their support. There are plenty of things you can add to your fan gear that include the breast cancer awareness support as well.

So get your own gear, get ready for game day and support this valuable cause along with applauding your favorite team for their own efforts.

Green Bay Packers Fans and Their Dogs

When you know someone who is a huge Green Bay Packers fan, but also a tremendous lover of his dogs, then you know someone like I do. I have a very good friend who is truly a Packers fanatic, but he's also a dog fanatic. 2 adorable mutts share his world and share his couch on game day.

Since I am also a true football fanatic and a dog lover, I just couldn't resist getting my friend a team jersey for both of his dogs. The Packers dog jerseys are just so perfect for any pet of fanatic.

They come in multiple styles and sizes that will fit just about any dog. With my friend, one is a small mixed breed. He looks like he could be a terrier of some sort. The other is a Labrador mix, so we are talking a much bigger dog.

I was able to find Green Bay Packers dog jerseys for each one. Of course, you know how those dogs are dressed every game day. My friend puts on his Aaron Rodgers jersey and then dresses the dogs. He tells me it's not hard. The jerseys are made to easily be put on dogs. They aren't too tight, so the dogs don't fight him.

Of course, his two pets still just sleep through the game. Unless their human jumps up and cheers, then they just lift their heads and watch his antics. Somehow, my friend just can't quite get them to get excited about the game. But, he does say they look great all lined up along the couch. Each with their own Green Bay Packers jerseys on.

Cheering on the Indianapolis Colts Outdoors

If you are a Colts fan, you definitely want to cheer on this great team that is poised this year for an incredible season. My favorite way to show my team support is by adding stuff to my yard.

Yes, I do love to let all my neighbors and anybody just passing by know how my I love and support my team. You can do that too with Indianapolis Colts outdoor stuff.

Garden flags are a fun and easy way to show your support, but how about adding a stop sign to your yard? What a great idea that is! Danger Ahead - Colts Country. A little humor but still a fun idea.

Of course, you can't forget your door mat. Let everyone who enters your home know they should be ready for Colts fan world, just by crossing your front door.

I never had a much fun as when I saw the barbeque cover! Tailgating and Sunday afternoon parties  those great past times. Do a little barbequing before the game or at half time and you can make sure all your guests and friends know who you route for!

Showing your team support is easy when you add a few Indianapolis Colts items to your yard. And this year, we are counting on it being more of a show-off for this great team.

Baby Gifts for San Francisco 49ers Fans

We all know babies are adorable, but what about baby football fans! Now, those are really something. San Francisco 49ers fans will love gifts for their new baby just for the 49ers.

For me, there are 2 darling nieces that just happen to be children of 49ers fanatics. You can well imagine how thrilled the parents were when they got football baby stuff for their little ones. I was thrilled to give them as well.

One was given as a baby shower gift. Well, don't you know the theme of the baby shower was 49ers football. I warned you these were fanatic parents. The whole set-up was way to cute.

The other baby gift was for a first birthday. Another set of thrilled parents. And talk about a cute baby. Every game day, that little one had her San Francisco 49ers baby gear on. She matched her parents in their football fan gear, too.

If there is a baby due in your world who just happens to be the child of a San Francisco 49ers fan, you can't go wrong with a baby gift just for those football fanatics. I can promise you it will be a hit.

Kids and Soccer Balls

Do your kids enjoy playing soccer? Even if they don't play on an organized team, they can still enjoy the fun of kicking a soccer ball around. It's good exercise and we know it helps them improve foot-eye coordination.

Kids of all ages can find a fun soccer ball with a unique look that matches their own personality. Or just one that's different. A fun soccer ball can make the play of soccer even more fun for them. Why stick with the boring black and white when there are great color combinations. How about super hero soccer balls? Even ones that are just for girls.

Some of my favorite include a ladybug and a bee look to a soccer ball. But there are many more, including the Pixar movies, tie-dyed looks, even animal print soccer balls.

Playing soccer is a fun activity for children, so why not get them a fun soccer ball to use? Find lots of choices, along with tee-shirts and other soccer related items at Fun Soccer Balls for Kids.
