I'm a huge sports fan (and female too)! It's a pain trying to find women's jerseys. The only jerseys for women are usually the main guy - the quarterback or the running back. What about a Haynesworth jersey? Maybe Keith Bullock? I love Vince Young (and I have a woman's VY jersey), but what about offering another jersey for women?? Anyways, just an example.

When reading this article, I could see the similarities!!! I am a passenger, I do not ride by own Hog, but I want to show my pride!!! I have a Harley scrunchie...bandanas, coats (and not just leather jackets), jewelry (alot!!!), socks, shirts (and these are not just T-shirts, they are well-fitting, attractive clothing that I get many compliments on from women and men), coffee mugs, jewelry case, shoes (and not just boots!!!), sun glasses, purse, belt, shorts, jeans, etc...it's addicitive!!! The catalogs Harley sends out let you know who is wearing the item being advertised, what they ride and what their motto/vision of life is (it is very appealing!!!) I have had conversations start up with total strangers due to the clothing/jewelry I am wearing...very good conversations with people who feel as passionate as I do!!! So I can definiately see the attraction for women fans to want display their pride the same way and how it WILL be very successful!!! I am not a sports fan…I am a Harley Davidson enthusist!!!

I can tell you that we are one of the most female friendly football cities and it shows in the stands every week. Have you ever seen a women try to wear a man's jersey or shirt? Not fun... By creating jerseys, hats and other items specifically sized for them it goes a long way. Now typically I do have a "no ladies" policy for the games ;), but when I do bring that special someone you don't want them to look like a purple blob cause the jersey is 10 sizes too big. That's not to say the Ravens did everything right... The 'Purple' program started out as 'Football 101' which offended many of the female fans who are more knowledgeable about the game than some of the men around here. Once they figured not to talk down to women, they got tremendous traction. It's not uncommon now to see groups of 3 and 4 women attending the games every week on their own.
