With the holidays rapidly approaching, opportunities abound for those looking to find the right gift for the Boston sports fan in their life.

Here are a few ideas for Boston sports-themed holiday gifts.
“Go Up For Glory,” by Bill Russell

Red Sox “City Connect” replica jersey
While it’s a major departure from traditional Red Sox colors, the “City Connect” jerseys have become a familiar feature of Boston baseball in recent seasons. If you’re trying to find a distinct gift for a Sox fan, the yellow and light blue look might be a home run. $139.99
Since buying new skis is above the average holiday budget, a gift card to the Boston-based store is potentially a more realistic option. Stocked with all kinds of ski and snowboard-related apparel and gear, Ski Monster could provide your snow sports friends with exactly the right pair of goggles, gloves, or a new helmet that they’ve been missing. Starting at $100
Bruins “Winter Classic” texting gloves
If you aren’t trying to buy a jersey, a more practical winter-related Bruins gift might do the trick. Why not go with a pair of gloves that can be worn in attendance of a hockey game? The gloves also include the famous/infamous Bruins “Pooh Bear” logo. $25
As the crowds at the Brookline-based 2022 U.S. Open showed, golf is an immensely popular local game. If you’re trying to encourage friends to give it a shot or to continue refining their skills, why not pay for a bucket at the Granite Links practice range in Quincy? Starting at $15

Red long sleeve Patriots t-shirt
True dominance is when an opponent can’t stop you even when you can be spotted a mile away. That’s how it’s been for Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon, who has been one of the NFL’s best pass-rushers this season while wearing bright red sleeves. Pick up some style this holiday season with this ferociously cool throwback t-shirt. $44.99
Remember one of the greatest Boston athletes to ever live with this colorful 24×36 canvas print of a smiling Bill Russell wearing multiple championship rings. A worthy addition to any room in the house. And it comes with multiple size options to fit any budget. $116.99
