Connecticut boy finally takes off Favre jersey after years

Finally, David Witthoft shunned his Brett Favre jersey for the first time in 1,581 days.

The Ridgefield, Conn. boy, 12, wore the No. 4 jersey every day since receiving it as a gift for Christmas in 2003. David's father, Chuck Witthoft, said Monday that his son's last day wearing the jersey was April 23 -- his 12th birthday.

Witthoft conceded his son was starting to become more concerned about his appearance after the jersey barely came down to his belt line.

Witthoft first gained national attention three years ago, and attended his first Packers game in December. He's also planning to attend the Sept. 8 game when the Packers retire Favre's No. 4.

His mother, Carolyn, had washed the jersey every other day and mended it when needed.

NOW that is what i call a FAN, well a bit obsessed but a fan lol!!!!!!

holy shi*t i got nothin else lol

Looks like he saved his folks a lot of dough on clothes.

Yeah, think they could've afforded him a decent haircut? YIKES! Poor little guy.

Man you know he was teased alot...

he is all over the headlins this morning LOL!!!

Aww...thats cute. I heard it on the news this morning.
For a 12 year old boy, that's mighty impressive its wearable!

i know, kept it in good shape !!!

Hey, that kid isn't a real fan! He took the jersey off!

C'mon dude, man up! It's part of growing up...

lol kgoon!!!

See, what did I tell you? CT needs their own team so these poor kids can get an identity.

LMAO! how bout it pink!!!

Well i guess its better then a Mike Mcmula jersey

i still own cheap authentic mike mamula jersey, i consider it quite a relic, haha.

haha this is ridiculous, i wonder what the odds are that this kid has friends...i guess it was worth the publicity?

We could probably divy up money and send the kid some soap!!!LOL!!!!

I bet that jersey could fetch a pretty penny on eBay. Not that the kid should ever sell it, but it's a thought...

LOL kgoon, maybe he will who knows!!!

The thing would probably fall apart...lol..
They shopuld do an old spice commercial on it..lol..
I can see it now... or an axe....Take the AXE challenge !! I think this one would fail

Aw! That is so cute! That would be funny if he wore it under a suit when going to a wedding or something.
