Monday Night Lights Gear Store announced the newest item to the website Monday night after fans bombarded the webmaster with emails. “We are happy to introduce the Jeff Skillman Edition featuring the captain’s “C” available in all custom colors” said Gear Store spokesperson Zeke Rawlins. The site underwent laborious changes overnight to add the special subsection online. You can now purchase limited edition clothing adorned with Skilly’s head , coffee mugs with the flamboyant C emblazoned on the left chest and for a limited time autographed Skilly trucker hats.

Spectators were sent into a frenzy last night after GM Jeff Skillman sported the first ever captains C in MNL history. “It is a bold move” commented scorekeeper extraordinaire Spicy Hetes “I guess he proclaimed himself worthy of such a prestigious title”. Others in the massive crowd last night were not fond of Skillman’s choice to embellish his sweater. “The dude has some massive balls” lamented Keith Wood in between sips of Labatt Blue. “I think it’s kinda’ douchey to order your own jersey with that on it”. Conspicuously, co-GM RAllen’s jersey was sans C. When asked why as a co-GM he did not receive a matching “C” on his chest RAllen said “I don’t need special attention, I just lead by example”.

The perennial All Star was asked his thoughts about wearing the C and what it means to him. “It’s an incredible honor to Captain this franchise. The importance of wearing the C is not lost on me. Plus, when your the one ordering the team jerseys you can do anything you want”.
