One of my favorite Super Commercials was the one put out by the NFL itself. It depicted several TV shows - from Happy Days to Cheers to Seinfeld to How I Met Your Mother, all looking as if they were having a football party of some kind, all in their favorite NFL team attire. Our friends over at BayArea put together a list of who was pimping the garb of which team.
Here is the commercial, in case you missed it:
