Collection: America 1869 Collection

The America 1869 Collection by Jerome Brand is a tribute to the roots, grit, and pride of a sport born on American soil. Proudly born and bred in the USA, Jerome Brand channels the spirit of 1869—the year American football was invented—into every stitch and silhouette. This collection blends vintage Americana with modern athleticism, honoring the legacy of hometown heroes, Friday night lights, and the families who live for the game. With premium fabrics and bold design, “The America” Collection celebrates not just football, but the culture, character, and craftsmanship that make it truly American.

The year 1869 across the chest represents the year when American football was invented. While the sport naturally evolved from soccer and rugby, the exact year is debated, however 1869 was the year of the first intercollegiate American Football game (Rutgers vs. Princeton) using modified soccer rules. A sport truly Born and Bred in America.
