There is nothing more perfectly Brett Favre than the newly-minted Hall of Fame quarterback riding around on a tractor or just hanging out with some buddies and tossing the old pigskin around in a pair of Wranglers. He is denim as much as he is green and gold.
So, when Favre was headed for Canton and set to join the Hall of Fame this past weekend -- and he delivered a lengthy, emotional speech while there -- the weekend-dad pants-makers decided to gift one of its most famous spokesmen with a life-size pair of jeans.
There is one slight problem with the jeans: they appear to be kind of purple! Which is, as everyone knows, the color of the Vikings. Now, that's a team Favre played for, but many Packers fans are not also fans of the Vikings.
However, the statue as a whole is pretty incredible. There's only two shots of Favre with the Vikings -- although as Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reminded everyone recently, he was very good in Minnesota -- and a pile of shots of Favre running around like a kid in the green-and-gold No. 4.
It's not hard to imagine these bad boys eventually fetching a pretty penny in some posthumous auction that would make Elvis Presley proud.
