As the holiday season is upon us, many struggle to find the perfect gift for their loved ones. Hopefully, your loved one is a sports fan because this gift guide will make your job a whole lot easier.

  No matter what their record is, Eagles apparel is always a hot commodity this time of the year. You can’t go wrong putting a Carson Wentz or Zach Ertz jersey under the tree. Not a birds fan? Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, and Todd Gurley jerseys are among the hottest holiday gifts at the moment considering these players’ individual and team success this season. While on the topic of jerseys, local shelves are beginning to stock with jerseys for 76ers newly acquired forward, Jimmy Butler, who is making a name for himself in Philadelphia.

   Not everyone wears jerseys, but one thing everyone does wear is shoes. Make sure your special someone starts of the new year in style with the hottest sneakers of 2018. Nike recently released all new colorways for the LeBron 16, Kyrie 5, Kobe AD, and KD 11 for people looking to rock basketball kicks. Ultraboosts, made by Adidas, are also a great gift for sneaker lovers.

  Sixers tickets are always a much-appreciated gift for sports fans. You may think Sixers tickets are out of your price range; however, depending on the opponent and night of the week the game is on, you can find tickets for as low as $30.

College sweatshirts are a fantastic gift for not only sports fans, but for everyone. With the College Football Playoff starting on December 29th, an Alabama, Notre Dame, Clemson, or Oklahoma sweatshirt may be the way to go.

     They say that it’s not about the actual gift but the thought that counts. However, if you follow this gift guide for the sports fans in your life, your “thought” will count for  a lot more.
