the significance of the team jerseys that Randy was wearing as he traveled through the panderverse?

For reference: "Omg I'm wearing a Baltimore Ravens shirt now! I hate the Ravens! I don't know if I can do this. Oh, now it's the Dolphins! Ah! The Chiefs! Oh it's the Chiefs!"

How does someone who follows American football interpret those lines? Is there anything to interpret, like are they all bad teams or something?

I think it was a joke about how multiverse movies and shows, despite supposedly being about the wild and infinite variation that would be possible across a spectrum of infinite alternate universes, tend to wind up showing us a bunch of extremely similar versions of the same stuff. All that's changing about Randy is which American football jersey he's wearing, an almost meaningless difference, but everyone behaves as though the change is profound and disturbing.

This exactly! It's less about football and more about making fun of "multiverse" fiction. There's really no difference between the "different versions of Randy" except which football team he roots for.
