In 1962 the late Wilfred "Bill" Wigenbach started a little strategy game to bring together some of Oakland's finest gridiron forecasters in hopes of improving coverage of the pro football. Little did he know that a half century later the popularity of the internet would propel fantasy football into a multi-million dollar business involving more than 30 million online players.

Are you ready to play ball? You should consider a few things before you jump in. Find a league that matches your skill level and ability, pick a team name that you can live with and for the ultimate fantasy experience... design your own football jersey.

A league of your own. There are many different fantasy football leagues out there. Which one you choose will depend on your knowledge and comfort with football. You can go with a free site like Yahoo Sports Pro Fantasy Football Leagues to ESPN Fantasy to pay sites like RotoWorld Fantasy Sports or The Sporting News Fantasy Source. Pay sites can range from few dollars a month to hundreds of dollars a week but of course if you know your stuff you can win money. Pay sites also tend to offer more advice, guidance and support for the beginner.

What's in a name? Pick a fantasy football team name that fits your character. The most popular names are ones that make a fun take on a team or player name; Oh Have Percy, Farve from Retiring, Need to Titan Up, Breaston Plants. Maybe you want a name that will indicate your hopes and dreams; Dream Team, Winning Ones, Touchdown Kings. Or perhaps just one that speaks to your personal style; Any Given Sunday, Monday Morning Quarterbacks, Operation Armchair.

Display your colors. Finally, you've got a league and team name selected and the rest is the best part. Make a custom football jersey with your fantasy football team colors. You won't easily find a site that will let you make one jersey in your choice of colors, styles, lettering and placement options at a reasonable price.
