Detroit Lions Christmas Gift Guide

Nike Barry Sanders Light Blue Detroit Lions Retired Player Limited Jersey – $149.95

Everyone was shocked when Barry Sanders up and retired on the eve of the 1999 season. 31 is old in football years — especially for a demanding position such as running back — but Barry never seemed to take a clean hit in his career and surely had a few solid season left in the tank.

Many of us held out hope that he would return sometime down the line. Maybe after a year, maybe after two. For most of us that hope died out a decade ago, but a few believers out there cling tight to the dream of a Barry revival. After all, he’ll only be 47 when next season begins. Those believers will surely be looking to stay ahead of the crowd, and they’d certainly love a Nike Barry Sanders Light Blue Detroit Lions Retired Player Limited Jersey.

This isn’t nostalgia dressed up in a modern-day uniform. It’s more than that. It’s what’s going to take the league by storm when Barry un-retires and wins the 2015 rushing title.
