Tom Brady never played a snap for the Baltimore Ravens.
But that didn’t stop one proud Ravens fan from wearing one of the oddest jerseys in NFL history.

“Turn that s*** around,” a fan called out, while others began booing a fellow supporter.
As the Ravens locked down the AFC North on Saturday with a convincing 35-10 home victory over the hapless Cleveland Browns, a No. 12 jersey in the stands drew serious attention.
“Hahaha omg,” one fan tweeted.
The laughter was directed at a purple-and-black No. 12 Ravens jersey.
Officially, No. 12 for Baltimore belongs to wide receiver Malik Cunningham.
But the quarterback-turned-wideout is on the Ravens’ practice squad, and Cunningham hasn’t played for Baltimore this season.
That apparently led one huge Brady believer to get super creative.
Video footage shot during the Ravens’ Week 18 win showed a fan sitting near the front row of Baltimore’s stadium and wearing a No. 12 jersey.
But the back of the shirt was almost unbelievable.
“BRADY” was printed in all-caps, leaving Ravens fans shocked.

“Tom Brady ain’t never played for the Ravens,” a fan shouted.
The Brady supporter defended his personal No. 12.
“It don’t matter,” he said. “He’s a seven-time Super Bowl champion.”
When the hoodie of a sweatshirt was lifted up, showing off Brady’s big name in Ravens colors, Baltimore fans began booing and shouting.
“Ewwwww!” one fan said.
Social media was even less kind.
“Bro probs got scammed on TikTok shop or sum,” one fan tweeted.
“There’s actually no explanation for this,” a second fan posted.
“D*** that’s actually crazy,” a third fan wrote.
“Absolute clown,” a fourth fan said.
Brady spent 23 years in the NFL playing for New England and Tampa Bay.
He threw 649 touchdowns and won seven world championships.
But while Brady would announce the big game if Lamar Jackson and the Ravens make the Super Bowl, he never played for Baltimore — and definitely never wore No. 12 for the purple and black.
“Ban him for life,” one fan tweeted.
