Boy Wears (Favre) Football Jersey For 408 Days Straight - So Far

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A Connecticut boy has been making good use of his Christmas present.

Since opening the gift -- a Green Bay Packers jersey with quarterback Brett Favre's No. 4 -- on Christmas Day 2003, 8-year-old David Witthoft has worn it 408 straight days.

"I just kept doing it for fun," said Witthoft, of Ridgefield, Conn. "Some of the kids at school said, 'You are weird' and stuff. But I'm not sure when I'll stop."

Witthoft told the Green Bay Press-Gazette for a story in Sunday's editions that he wants a Guinness Book of Records mark for the most consecutive days wearing a Packers jersey. No such record exists, Guinness officials said.

"David has a lot of 'sticktoitiveness,"' said his father Chuck Witthoft, who grew up in Milwaukee and has kept his allegiance to the Packers. "This wasn't an idea of ours."

The jersey isn't holding up as well as the boy's enthusiasm: The No. 4 has all but worn off and the seams are taking a beating as he grows.

"Just another typical die-hard cheesehead," said Packers President Bob Harlan. "I hear from them all the time."
