Though I usually follow an NFL costume post with strange NFL merchandise, I decided to just skip to crafts. While there’s a lot of crazy NFL merchandise out there, it’s increasingly difficult to find unique items with NFL logos. Not to mention, I kind of prefer doing craft stuff anyway. Anyway, while many NFL fans like to get their gear at overpriced NFL stores, some might prefer to make their own. After all, you’ll find crafters in every fandom. Sports fans are sometimes no different. Many might use crafts for decorations like a team wreath for their front door. Some might go for outdoor decoration and other items. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of NFL crafts for the upcoming season.

NFL Fans Dressed and Ready for Game Day (Fifth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on August 6, 2019

Though August has no notable holidays, it’s a rather busy month. For one, people usually take their vacations around this time. Second, it’s back to school season, making stores busy given how parents scramble for their kids’ supplies. But August also kicks off the NFL pre-season. And the Steelers’ first pre-season game is on Friday, August 9. Given that I’m not a big sports fan at all, I’ll most likely watch Netflix instead. Nonetheless, given that football is incredibly important where I live, I must do posts to boost my stats since they’ve been recently lagging. Anyway, one of the huge features of sporting events is seeing some fans in their outlandish costumes. Because for them, wearing their team’s jersey isn’t enough. The NFL is no exception. And yes, people do look ridiculous in them. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of NFL costumes.

You might find a scary face among the stands in Miami.

And it’s not Ray Finkle. Rather it’s a guy in a orange and aqua green horror movie mask to support the Dolphins.

2. Feel free to go blue for the Dallas Cowboys.

And thank God, they’re wearing shirts. Still, one guy has a silver star on his face.

3. No pink dress can have too many baubles if you’re supporting the Atlanta Falcons.

Her dress even includes sequins. While her hat consists of hot pink feathers.

4. Perhaps your hat should have some of your favorite players.

These are Browns fans. So the players aren’t that great. Still, like the bones on the other guys’ hats.

5. For Seahawks fans, the hair should always match the face paint.

And yes, his mohawk is in green, blue, and silver. Fortunately, the Seahawks are usually good enough to make the playoffs.

6. Huge support for one’s team always requires a huge hat.

This guy has a Dr. Seuss type hat in support of his Tennessee Titans. Wonder why you don’t hear about that team very often.

7. A Broncos fan should always drive in a Broncos car.

Sure it’s small. But I’m positive it cost this guy a fortune. But he seems proud of it in his horse hat.

8. The Houston Texan fans have their horns out.

The horns are made from paper mache. But they’re also in red and blue to support the team.

9. She has her love for the Pittsburgh Steelers all over her face.

Well, she has the logo on the face. Also wears a boa of black and gold feathers around her neck and beneath her coat.

10. A Detroit Lions fan wallows in shame.

Given that they didn’t win a game one season. Still, they’re not known as a winning team. But I think the bag on the guy’s head is hilarious.

11. This man’s ready for Packers business.

He even wears a cheese tie with coveralls. Would be funnier if he wore the tie with a green suit.

12. Don’t forget to have a beer on tap.

This Browns fan has a beer bottle on his hard hat. Comes very handy given the Browns’ track record.

13. This Buffalo Bills fan is here to show his support.

95f53a5939d85c09450c299f9beec1f6--buffalo-bills-lungs

He’s wearing a rather interesting jacket, too. Not sure who Talley is. Must be one of the players.

14. One has to be strong to root for the Bills.

394e13510d8855a4ed50c9589cb87b2b--sports-fanatics-tennessee-titans

This guy has a blue muscle shirt on along with a pink cape to support Breast Cancer Awareness. It’s said to match his red fro and beard.

15. A cat face is essential for those who love the Carolina Panthers.

She has blue etchings on it as well. Still, at least it’s not black since that would be a huge problem.

16. Red Alert! Packers car coming through.

Has a cheese on top. Wonder how much it cost to put this car in Packer colors. Probably an arm and a leg.

17. A Seahawks queen must always have the logo on her face.

She has jewels around her eyes. And even wears a tiara on her silver, green, and blue hair.

18. You might want to don a full body suit to support your Cincinnati Bengals.

2012-10-25-13-18-47-www.buzzfeed.com-enhanced-buzz-9979-1350666324-9

Yes, it’s made from orange spandex. Also wears a headdress with orange and black feathers.

19. Don’t forget your dreadlock hat.

This Steeler fan even has a black and gold face paint. Nonetheless, I’m not sure if the hat’s even necessary.

20. Bengal fans always stick together.

2081e9a6301e9717a632db93bdca02da--football-fans-lungs

His face is painted red, white, and blue. While his hat sports blue and silver fuzz that’s most likely not his real hair.

22. Is he wearing a mask or is that face paint?

Well, the style makes you think this Seahawks fan is wearing a mask. But he’s actually sporting face paint. Then again, the green part’s probably a Phantom mask.

23. This dog is all in for the San Diego Chargers.

Excuse me, LA Chargers. Then again, its owner probably dressed the dog in that outfit for a photo op anyway.

24. Chargers fans got to wear lightning bolts on their heads.

One has a lightning bolt hat. The other has the lightning bolt painted on his bald head.

25. These Charger fans know how to shock the Chiefs.

110112-NFL-crazy-fans-LN-G1_20121101205647437_2560_1706.vresize.1024.576.high.76

The woman the left has a Chargers visor hat with blue and yellow hair. While she also sports a blue and yellow wig along with a blue cape. Not to mention both hold large lightning bolts.

26. This 49ers fan shows his Super Bowl pride.

But don’t mention Colin Kaepernick who played for the team. Because I think the guy’s white.

27. These Rams fans sport the curly clown wigs.

111812-NFL-fans-EN-G1_20121118135610991_2560_1706.vresize.1024.576.high.75

The wigs are in blue and gold. While they sport skull makeup akin to the Day of the Dead.

28. This Baltimore man runs on purple.

He supports the Ravens, by the way. Even wears a purple hat and holds a purple towel and pom poms.

29. These Raiders fans have face masks on their sombreros.

Seems like a long time to get to any Raiders fans. Though sombreros don’t offer the same head protection as helmets do.

30. This Raiders fan is an American patriot at heart.

Well, the logo he’s wearing has shiny red, white, and blue decorations. Don’t think it’s enough to help the team though.

31. This New Orleans Saints fan’s got a helmet with a visor.

11203113_465497060274634_5901889698195865179_n

Wonder how he sees through that thing. Then again, the visor might function like sunglasses.

32. These Steeler ladies rock in their black and gold gear.

One even wears Steeler sunglasses. While they both sport similar Steeler Scarves.

33. For this Green Bay Packers fan, a cheese head’s not enough.

This one has Green Bay Packers logos all over his hat. The cheese even has a cape.

And both have to have mohawks and go with the chains. While the chains also have to have skulls on them.

37. An Arizona Cardinals fan always sports a bird mask.

1329163922_the_most_hardcore_football_fans_08

Well, it’s a bird mask in the luchador style. Even has fake red hair on top.

38. This fiery man comes for the Denver Broncos.

You’d almost think he’s on fire with his orange face and hair. But that’s just face paint and a wig.

39. As far as this guy’s concerned, the Cleveland Browns have gone to the dogs.

Then again, the dog is the Cleveland Browns mascot. Still, the team’s not going to win Super Bowls anytime soon.

40. Seems we got a real New Orleans firefighter.

He’s in a Saints-inspired firefighter outfit. As he waves an American flag.

41. Minnesota Viking fans come in all shades.

You see some guys in camo along with a guy in a superhero outfit. One even wears a fire helmet with horns.

42. All a Raiders fan needs is a banner and as a silver skull mask.

AP MEXICO TEXANS RAIDERS FOOTBALL S FBN MEX

Sure it’s not as ridiculous as some of the others. But it still goes with the Raiders skull schtick.

43. He shows his love for the Seahawks all over his face.

His fan face even includes sharp teeth. Still, why anyone would do face paint like this is beyond me.

44. This woman paint herself in the black and gold.

To be fair, she’s only using that face paint pattern to emulate the hair. Still, if it wasn’t for the gold stripe in the middle, she’d be in deep shit.

45. This Cowboys fan is all decked out for the game.

He has blue and white stars on his face. While he wears a large blue cowboy hat and a white cape.

46. Behold, the Colts transformer.

NFL: AFC Wild Card Playoff-Cincinnati Bengals at Indianapolis Colts

47. Chargers fans, put on your clown wigs.

Comical_Crazy_Wacky_Dressed_Up_Diego_Chargers_NFL_Team_Fans-1-1024x700

One has a white wig. The other has a yellow one. But if they live in San Diego, they’re screwed.

48. Elvis has come to the Tennessee Titans game.

Well, Memphis is in Tennessee so it fits. But Elvis grew up in Mississippi so he might’ve been a fan of the Saints.

49. A fan wears skulls to support his Oakland Raiders.

Guy has a skull on each shoulder and one on his chest. One of them has a Dallas Cowboys helmet in its jaws.

50. This Philadelphia Eagles fan lets the eagle soar.

Fan is even dressed like an eagle. Wears a feather wig and fur sleeves.

51. The Minnesota Viking sounds his horn.

To be fair, real Vikings didn’t wear horned helmets in battle. But since the Vikings’ mascot does, here you go.

52. Apparently, Red Skull is a Cardinals fan.

Creepy-Cardinals-Fan-Kevin-Jairaj-USA-TODAY-Sports

Actually that’s a skull mask painted in a Cardinal motif. Still, like the fuzzy suit jacket.

Each one carries a shield with a fleur de lis. And both have a fleur de lis on their faces.

He’s got his face painted and wears a foam Patriots logo hat. Though don’t mention Brady’s deflated footballs.

One guy has a cheese hat with a green and yellow cape. The other wears a stadium hat and a cheese necklace.

64. You don’t want to cross this die-hard fan.

65. When you have to go to a Renaissance Festival before attending the Super Dome.

He’s painted himself silver with a mohawk. While his suit jacket contains the Patriots logo.

Well, he’s a Steeler fan. And the beam is golden.

70. This Seahawks girl always comes with green hair.

Each bear hat wears a jersey and sports claws. Still, at least these 2 match.

72. The mohawk always has to match the mustache.

Well, this Dolphins has a blue-green and orange mohawk and a blue-green mustache. Yet, you don’t know who he is due to his reflective sunglasses.

These guys wear spiked shoulder pads to support their team. Hey, at least they’re not wearing warbonnets.

Actually they’re masks. But they do look incredibly goofy and cartoonish that you can’t take them seriously.

85. High spikes always look great on a Patriots fan.

New England Patriots vs Los Angeles Rams

They’re often used to deflate footballs. But I don’t think these spikes will do the trick.

He’s got pointed ears, too. And yes, he seems creepy in that cowboy hat.

100. It’s a sad life for a Browns fan.

Mostly because they typically don’t win games. Seriously, Cleveland’s team sucks.

Touchdown with These Super Bowl Sunday Party Treats (Fifth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on January 7, 2019

generalmillsmap

Now that we’re in January, it’s NFL playoff season. Of course, I probably not watch any games for 2 reasons. First, I’m not a big sports fan in any respect and mostly do my sports posts for up my viewership stats. Save for the fans and bad mascot stuff. Second, for the first time in a few years, the Pittsburgh Steelers failed to make the playoffs. So I have no reason to watch the Super Bowl anyway, unless it involves a famous musical artist performing the halftime show. Nonetheless, it’s not unusual for people to hold parties during this time, even if your team isn’t playing. Because we all want to see the New England Patriots lose. Not to mention, the Super Bowl normally receives the highest TV ratings each year. While parties normally include food. The map above depicts the most popular Super Bowl party dish from each state. Anyway, for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of Super Bowl delights.

Let the cheeses hut and hike in this dip.

It’s basically gouda’s against each other in the field. Not sure how many layers the dip has.

2. For healthy options, may I suggest a football fruit tray?

This mostly includes melon and strawberries. Though the stitching is made of cheese.

3. Perhaps you might prefer chocolate footballs on a stick.

They seem like sandwiches. Though I can be wrong.

4. You’d be insane not to include buffalo chicken salad football sandwiches.

2ef5d653e44ea5675bbbaf8aaeb38e78--buffalo-chicken-salads-buffalo-chicken-sandwiches

Not sure what’s in buffalo chicken salad. Yet, they seem to go with the pumpernickel footballs quite nicely.

5. Any snackadium should have a dip tray in the center.

Unless you’re planning a large party. I would advise against snackadiums. Mostly since they consist of so much food that might get wasted. Unless you plan to donate the leftovers to the food bank.

6. Any Cincinnati Bengals fan would go crazy over these cookies.

Well, the Bengals have made the playoffs several times in recent years. Though I’m not sure if they’re in it this post-season. Since I don’t pay much attention to the team.

7. Twinkies and sandwiches make great stadium walls.

This was for Super Bowl 48. This one had the Denver Broncos against the Seattle Seahawks. Seahawks won.

8. Then again, you might want a purple snackadium for a change.

This one is made out of wood and painted purple. Yet, you can find whatever dessert that suits your desires.

9. Football brownies are an easy game day treat.

Sure, they may be squares. But each of them has the football stitching in icing.

10. Speaking of brownies, try these football bites for size.

They may be small. But they will pack the chocolatey punch if you put them in your mouth.

11. Philadelphia Eagles fans would adore these cookies.

Well, they won the Super Bowl in 2018. Yet, it’s even better that they didn’t go to the White House since Donald Trump is president. Need I say more?

12. Spaghetti with footballs makes for an ideal Super Bowl dinner.

Well, the footballs are meatballs. While it’s all served in a stadium football-shaped bowl.

13. Nothing makes a game day party like a New Orleans Saints cake.

14. This Super Bowl, serve your guests anything from this football veggie tray.

The football is made of carrots with mushroom stitching. While it’s surrounded by broccoli.

17. Super Bowl watchers would enjoy some stadium and football cookies.

The stadiums have sprinkles to symbolize the crowd. While the footballs have some, too.

18. A Raven cupcake should always have purple sprinkles.

Looks like a character from Angry Birds. Yet, the bird seems like it was made by a fan of the Baltimore Ravens.

19. You can never have too many football cookies on a field cake.

This one has a megaphone cookie as well. Also includes goal posts.

20. Love the San Francisco 49ers? Try these cookies.

21. These football calzones will warm you up on a cold day.

Seems to come with some sort of sauce you can dip in. Then again, these may be tarts.

22. Nothing makes a dessert platter like some football jello.

Though I have to admit that brown jello is disgusting. The stitching is white icing.

23. Care for a burger cookie sandwich?

They seem to have a chocolate filling but it doesn’t include cheese. Still, are those sesame seeds on top?

24. A stadium nacho platter should suit your game day needs.

34. This field cake is covered in candy.

This one has bite size candy bars as players and pretzels as goal posts. While M&Ms give the field color. Or are those Skittles?

il_570xN.1625759179_b1ax.jpg

Of course, I couldn’t welcome the football season without doing another annual post on NFL crafts. Indeed, the NFL may not be keen on you making your own gear if you intend to sell it. Well, unless you buy some craft supplies with your favorite team’s logo on it, which may cost you a shitload of money. However, you can do quite fine if you just use craft supplies in your team’s colors as well. Nonetheless, once you make your NFL craft creation, you can sell it on Etsy. You can put it up in your home during the season or even wear it on game day if possible. If you don’t believe me, you can see what they have on Pinterest, Etsy, or Google Images.

The Interesting Life of NFL Merchandise (Fourth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on August 13, 2018

In American sports, the NFL is among the most powerful and richest organizations since football is the country’s most popular sport. And while the NFL makes tons of money with promotions and ticket sales, they earn a shitload from merchandise. As the NFL season comes at the end of August, you will see plenty of it at any local store. Though they’ll most likely sell crap with your local team’s logo on it. Nonetheless, from how I’ve done NFL merchandise posts during the last three years, you can see how the NFL is willing to sell just about anything.

Not a fan of pool tables. Even less of a fan on covers. Besides, I’m sure anyone who owns a pool table could find a cheaper cover.

14. Go for a drive in this fancy Green Bay Packers car.

Even comes with white wall tires. Still, is very expensive as hell and not worth the money.

15. Enjoy the game in this cheesy cowboy hat.

Indeed, they have cowboy hats, too. Then again, Wisconsin has a lot of cows. But they’re dairy cows. Not beef cattle you round up to put on a train to a Chicago slaughterhouse.

16. Snuggle with your American Girl doll in her Green Bay Packers pajamas.

Really? American Girl Packers PJs? This is insane!

17. Keep yourself warm during the winter in this Miami Dolphins onesie?

I don’t think Miami even gets cold. So why does this onesie exist?

18. Lace yourself tight in this Denver Broncos corset.

Yes, it’s another Denver Broncos corset. And yes, it contains ribbon laces.

19. This Christmas, grace your tree with this shiny Buffalo Bills nutcracker ornament.

The soldier even has a helmet on. And yes, it’s pretty terrifying.

20. You can’t celebrate Christmas without a Cleveland Browns shoe ornament.

I don’t get this. How do football and high heels go together? And what does it have to do with Christmas?

21. Apparently, Santa likes watching the Packers and checkers.

Santa even has a Packers sweater. Even his elf is dressed in Packers gear.

22. When Santa is in Minnesota, he decks Vikings gear.

And he’s even dressed in purple to match. Wait a minute, that can’t be right.

23. In Jacksonville, it helps to have Jaguars chair ornament on your Christmas tree.

Even has its own cup holder. Still, why would anyone buy this? It’s ridiculous.

24. Keep your black and gold M&Ms in this Steelers dispenser.

How do you get black and gold M&Ms? Because I have no idea.

25. Now your dog can be a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.

Yes, this is a Dallas Cowboys cheerleading outfit for dogs. You can see how ridiculous and stupid this is.

26. Serve your tailgate grub in this Seattle Seahawks kickasserole dish.

I’m sure the decals add more to the price tag. You can get a cheaper plain one at Wal Mart.

27. Carry your things in this elegant New Orleans Saints shoe purse.

And one with a high heel at that. Not sure why any woman would want to carry it around with her.

28. Find the time of day with this Dallas Cowboys gem encrusted watch.

I’m sure this is way overpriced. Seriously, why would anyone buy this crap?

29. Don’t like the Patriots? Get this deflated football hat.

Don’t need to put much air in it. And you can wear it when the Patriots are in your neck of the woods.

30. Kick back and relax in this Oakland Raiders easy chair.

This one doesn’t have a foot rest or ottoman. But it sure looks comfy.

31. Hope you can settle in this leather Miami Dolphins.

Even comes with a fancy foot rest. So you can prop up your tired feet.

32. Be the king of your castle in this Packers cheese crown.

Don’t worry. It’s not made out of cheese. Yet, you have to wonder how many kinds of cheese hats the Packers have.

33. Keep your food fresh in this Dallas Cowboys wheeled cooler.

Sure you want to keep your food fresh. But please, a plain one will do just as fine.

34. Speaking of Dallas Cowboys, perhaps you might want a stepping stone for your garden.

Not sure why anyone would want this. It’s just garden decor which doesn’t have much of a purpose.

35. Enjoy the game with this Cincinnati Bengals bowl.

Is this a trash can? Because the shape would explain a lot.

36. Men, spice up your night in this Seattle Seahawks thong.

That’s just a piece of cloth with ribbons on it. I guess guys wear it to cover their junk.

37. You can’t bake without this New Orleans Saints cake pan.

Or you can just make a helmet cake and put a fleur de lis on it. Since that would be cheaper than buying this.

38. If you’re Jewish, wear your team on your yarmulke.

This one is from the Indianapolis Colts. Wouldn’t be surprised if they had other NFL gear for other faiths. Like a plush Vishnu doll wearing a Jets jersey.

39. Start out your day with a cup of Steelers gourmet roast.

Indeed, I don’t know why I don’t see this in a store. But it won’t give you a lot of yards rushing.

40. Keep your teeth nice and clean with this Green Bay Packers toothbrush.

I get it why they sell these toothbrushes. Still, it’s probably overpriced just the same.

41. You can fix anything with some Green Bay Packers duck tape.

Yet, it’s yellow with the Packers logo on it. So be careful when you apply it.

42. Top your Christmas tree with this Steeler angel.

Well, she’s in a Steelers gown. Luckily, she sits with golden wings.

43. Store your drinks in this Carolina Panthers cooler.

Sure this cooler may be used to keep drinks chilled. But the logo just adds more to the price tag.

44. Be ready for game day wearing these NFL onesie suits.

Unlike the previous ones I showed, these have hoods. And yes, they will make you look like an idiot.

45. If you like Barry Sanders, you might like this signed urinal.

Barry Sanders was a player for the Detroit Lions. But I’d sure like to know how he managed to sign it.

46. Look snazzy in this Green Bay Packers suit.

Comprises of yellow pants with a Packers jacket and tie. And yes, it’s as tacky as hell.

47. Cheer your team wearing this cheesy baseball cap.

Well, if you’re a Packers fan anyway. And yes, it’s probably made out of yellow foam.

48. Bet you’d want to pack something in this Packers pipe.

Seems like it’s for those plants your weird neighbor grows in his basement. Also the design is kind of trippy, man.

49. Keep your dog warm in this New England Patriots hoodie.

Yes, this is a dog hoodie. Seriously, dogs already have something to keep them warm and safe from the elements. It’s called fur.

50. Shine and sparkle with this football ring.

Consists of footballs encrusted with jewels. Yes, they’re fake but nonetheless flashy.

51. NFL belts will always hold you up.

The one on the left is from the Chicago Bears. The one on the right is from the San Francisco 49ers.

52. Men will look sensational in these button down NFL shirts.

These are just casual collared shirts with NFL logos on it. Yet, they come in different colors and patterns.

53. Keep your money safe in this Cincinnati Bengals wallet.

Well, this isn’t too bad. But it’s probably way more expensive than a regular one.

54. Keep your business cards in this Rams holder.

I’m more used to calling them the Saint Louis Rams. Yet, they’ve moved to LA. So I’ll just call them the Rams.

55. Make your home ready for game day with this Pittsburgh Steelers scoreboard alarm clock.

When you wake up, it bursts into a variation of the “Pennsylvania Polka.” Also, will alert you if Bengals fans are near.

56. Honor our servicemen with this Seattle Seahawks military hoodie.

Let’s face it, the NFL’s salute for America’s military is just a corporate cash grab. Seriously, they have the military pay them for shows of patriotism.

57. Sit back and relax in your Oakland Raiders bathrobe.

Indeed, it’s sleek and fuzzy. But it probably costs much more than one you can buy at Gabe’s for half the price.

58. Grace your home with this Cleveland Browns totem sculpture.

Yes, they make these. Might be appropriate for the Seahawks. Not sure for the Browns.

59. Putter up with these Cleveland Browns golf balls and tees.

Yes, more golf stuff. Yet, these are in green, brown, and white with the Browns logo.

60. Put your pizza in the oven with this Cleveland Browns pizza board.

You’re supposed to put a pizza on it. Other than that, I don’t see much purpose to it.

61. Hold up your pants with these Bengals suspenders.

I’m sure regular suspenders will do the job just as well. And for half the price.

62. This Bengals runner mat is just the ticket.

Since it resembles a ticket to a Bengals game. Not sure which is more expensive.

63. Take your things on the go with this rolling Bengals duffel bag.

Kind of give a new meaning to “carry-on” luggage. Wonder if there’s a plain one that’s cheaper.

64. Take your drink in style with this jeweled Bengals mug.

I’m not sure why this even exists. Because the jewels just makes it seem more ridiculous.

65. Make dinner time a first down with this Cincinnati Bengals knife set.

All of these are orange with stripes on it. Hope they’re not made out of plastic.

66. Looks like this Bengals fan groom is put on the old ball and chain.

This is a wedding cake topper with the old ball and chain. But it includes a Bengals helmet.

67. Spend countless hours assembling this Cleveland Browns puzzle.

Comprises of 500 pieces. Though I’d rather assemble a jigsaw puzzle from a different team.

68. Support your New England Patriots in this tie-dye T-shirt.

Not sure if tie dye goes well with football. Doesn’t seem to make sense.

69. Support your Cleveland Browns wherever you go with this wheeled suitcase.

It’s just a wheeled suitcase with a Browns logo on it. Hope it’s not for an away game.

70. This Cleveland Browns robot is a true champ.

Then again, being a Browns robot, I beg to differ. Since the Browns aren’t known for winning games.

71. You can go anywhere with this Cleveland Browns carry-on backpack.

So you can take it on a hike or on the airport floor. Though you’ll have better luck getting a cheaper model.

72. Seems like this zombie is a Rams fan.

It’s a Halloween garden decoration. And it mostly consists of a zombie hand holding the Rams logo.

73. With this Bengals purse, you can go anywhere.

You can wear it a couple different ways. Like on your shoulder or on your wrist.

74. Serve your tailgate grub on this Bengals platter.

It’s even shaped like a football for good measure. Will mostly have crackers, cheese, and lunch meat.

75. Pour yourself a glass a Hu-Dey Bengal beer.

Apparently, there’s a Bengal beer around. Not something you’d want at Heinz Field though.

76. Be the team chef in your kitchen with this Baltimore Ravens apron and hat.

I’m sure any fan would be wearing it at the grill. Though I’m not sure if the chef’s hat is necessary.

77. After a long golf match, cool off with this Cleveland Browns golf towel.

Not sure why anyone would use a golf towel. I mean it’s not the game that gives off a sweat save for walking between courses.

78. Make your house a home with some Baltimore Ravens carpet tiles.

Now I love the color purple. But I wouldn’t want a checked carpet with Ravens logo on it though.

79. Refresh your thirst with this Baltimore Ravens water bottle.

It’s a metal bottle with a Ravens label on it. Though I don’t think it contains water when they lose.

80. Be a pool hustler with this Baltimore Ravens cue stick.

Though I think regular cue sticks will work just as well. And be much cheaper.

NFL Fans Dressed and Ready for Game Day (Fourth Edition)

Since NFL pre-season has started up again, it’s time for my August NFL posts which I do every year. While August may seem like a slow month since there’s no holidays, it’s actually one of my busier months with NFL and school looming along with the Renaissance Festival. Given that the NFL has gained a lot of notoriety with the anthem protests, CTE, pinkwashing, domestic violence and sexual assault handling, and so much more. And yet, people still watch the games and buy all the crap they sell. After all, it’s a great American tradition that people can’t get enough of since they love to cheer for the teams. Yet, I’m not interested in the play since it bores me despite that I played clarinet in marching band for 8 years. However, I do take great fascination with how some fans go all out at the game to support their team. I mean you have to see some of the most ridiculous costumes on them that make any Comic Con geek seem normal. Anyway, for your reading pleasure, I give you another treasure trove of crazy NFL fan costumes. Enjoy.

Green men always support the Green Bay Packers.

Well, they’ve painted their faces green and their facial hair yellow. Though I do like the fringe on the left guy’s jacket.

2. Unfortunately, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a Cleveland Browns fan.

Of course, he’s sad since his team doesn’t usually win. Because they’re the Cleveland Browns.

3. Someone’s hair is all charged up.

Actually, I’m not sure if it’s his hair or a hat. While the woman he’s with has a mask.

4. Like Buffalo Bills? Say hello to the Buffalo Bunnies!

The Buffalo Bills are another team that doesn’t win games. Yet, I would pay to see these guys any day.

5. You can always see a man in orange from a mile away.

Then again, he’s a Denver Broncos fan who’d get lost in sea of that color. Still, like his hat.

6. This Texan never leaves home without a sombrero and luchador mask.

Well, he’s a Houston Texans fan. But you couldn’t even guess who he is.

7. Sombreros should always come with a face mask.

However, since they’re Oakland Raiders fans, this is quite tame. Since Raiders fans are among some the most flamboyant.

8. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, there’s at least something Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton can agree on.

Those are just paper cutouts of them used by Arizona Cardinals fans. Nonetheless, this is hilarious.

9. Apparently, the Raiders madness starts young.

This kid is in skull makeup with spikes on his arms. His costume will get more ridiculous as he gets older.

10. These guys support their team without their shirts.

They even have Bills logo painted on their chest. And wear blue buffalo hats. Okay, bison hats.

11. Is that a hat of Big Ben on his head?

Must’ve been for a game in London. The NFL seems to hold one there once every year.

12. These Eagles fans always know how to spread their wings.

They’re even dressed like Eagles. At least with the hats and feathered sleeves.

13. Guess this Santa’s helper is a Browns’ fan.

Still, you have to admire his team loyalty given the Browns’ track record. Yet the costume is ridiculous.

14. Batman is in the stands with his bandito friend.

These are Buffalo Bills fans as you see. Yet, I think Batman would be more of a Giants and Jets fan. Since Gotham is New York City.

15. Hope you can bear it with this Seahawks fan.

Lo and behold, he’s wearing a bear hat with Skittles on its mouth. Not sure about the significance.

16. These Redskins fans have something to toot about at their game.

Yes, they seem like normal fans in their jerseys. Except that one of them has a giant red football covering a sousaphone.

17. In Pittsburgh, Steeler fandom always starts in the delivery room.

Magee Women’s Hospital has a tradition with covering newborns with Terrible Towels. Though it won’t be long till this little one watches a Steeler game for the first time.

18. A striped beard is always a must for a Bengals fan.

Though you have to admire his effort. Yet, this is quite outlandish if you ask me.

19. This Raiders fan has her share of skulls on her chains.

Her hat even has swords on top. But yes, the outfit is kind of disturbing if you’re not familiar with Raiders fans.

20. “Wanna see my chains?”

And I see he’s with his daughter for the tailgate party. So don’t mind the silver skull mask and mohawk.

21. Guess this is a Chargers white out game.

Yet, these guys seem to take “white out” a bit too far. But at least their hard hats match.

22. For his Bills, this man bares all.

Wonder if he’s in the Polar Bear Club. Cause everyone else around him is wearing a coat and he’s not even wearing a shirt.

23. These superheroes are super fans of the New York Giants.

They even wear blue hair to match their outfits. And yes, they’re super powered up for the game.

24. This Dallas Cowboy fan doesn’t think well of the refs on Thanksgiving.

Though I really like the turkey hat. Actually kind of amusing if you ask me.

25. This Detroit Lions fan is ready for a turkey anytime.

Wonder if he’s wearing that hat for a Thanksgiving game. Then again, wonder why he’d be at the stadium on Thanksgiving.

26. This Atlanta Falcons showgirl always comes in full feathers.

She even wears a red wig and jeweled body suit. But she always tries to get an audience from the stands.

27. Didn’t know that Rumpelstiltskin was a Denver Broncos fan.

Well, his pointy ears seem like a dead giveaway here. Though his beard is much shorter than I thought it would be.

28. Seems like this Raiders fan is doing a voodoo dance of some sort.

Yeah, she may look pretty scary. But I’m sure she won’t harm anyone, Just a very big Raiders fan.

29. This Bills fans is all blue in the horns.

Though his team barely wins given the Bills’ track record. Still, at least it’s not as outlandish as some of the other costumes on this post.

30. These red Texans always back the defense.

They even wear horns on their red cowboy hats. Yet, they intend to support their team.

31. This skeleton face Browns’ fan will haunt your dreams.

If the Browns don’t win, he’ll sure to make the players’ lives a nightmare. Unfortunately, this happens quite often during the season.

32. This Stormtrooper supports his New England Patriots all the way.

Here he is in front of a flag in the background. But always finds time to serve his Galactic Empire.

33. This man wears his support for the Broncos on his hair.

Basically has “Go Broncos” on his mohawk. I know it’s batshit crazy. But it’s a free country.

34. Man, those are really large pendants.

Wonder if those Texan logos make their necks sore. But so far, they don’t seem to mind.

35. This bony skeleton man’s head is spiked for the Raiders.

Raiders fans can have a lot of costumes suited better for Halloween. Yet, I have to admit, he
