Posted by historymaniacmegan on August 16, 2019

As with the NFL posts, I decided not to do a college athletic merchandise blog this year. After all, the more you do, the less crazy NCAA products you can find. Anyway, like most sports fans, while some prefer to buy overpriced gear of their favorite teams, others prefer to make their own. You can see such artistry at work with this March Madness bracket above. Yet, this mostly consists of construction paper, package tape, masking tape and string. Still, I used it since it’s something that doesn’t just reflect any one team. Anyway, for your reading pleasure I give you another assortment of college sport crafts.

As with my NFL costume post, I decided not to use my own picture to open it this year since photo ops require considerable preparation beforehand. Anyway, while American football fans look forward to their favorite NFL team play, school will soon be in session. And this means college football season will soon begin. In many places in the US, you’ll find people who are more diehard over their college teams than those in the pros. Mostly because they either went to the college or the college in question is closer to where they live. You can see this prevalent in the South, particularly in places like Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Thus, you’ll probably find plenty of sports fans in ridiculous costumes. So for your reading pleasure I give you another assortment of them. Most of them will be from NCAA Div. I teams. Enjoy.

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.

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.

3 of them wear sombreros and skull masks. One wears a bandana and big pendant necklaces.

36. A Raiders fan needs a skull on each shoulder.

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

He has a Colts mask with Colts stuff on it. But no one knows who he is.

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.

54. This Patriots fan comes with all stars and stripes.

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.

She wears a Venice mask and sports a black and gold boa. Thinks she’s “dat girl.”

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

He has a foam player hat that kind of creeps me out. But perhaps it’s because the background is a night forest.

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.

Kansas City Chiefs v Pittsburgh Steelers

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.

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.

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

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

Posted by historymaniacmegan on January 7, 2019

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.

Even includes strawberries bearing each player’s number. While it contains a black fleur de lis on top.

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.

15. Perhaps this Arizona Cardinal cake will suit you.

This was made at a cake shop. Yet, it has the Cardinal logo in all its glory.

16. You’ll always score with some football cupcakes.

The footballs are cookies. While there’s little grass where they touch.

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.

26. This football spinach artichoke is quite savory.

It’s even made with bread shaped like a football. So you can dip that in.

27. Is that a pizza in a snackadium field?

After all, pizza needs cheese to be considered pizza. Not sure if there’s any on here.

28. Perhaps you’d like football cake pops with nutter butter.

Now that Christmas is over and the new year has begun, NCAA Division I college football stages their national championships. Of course, you have a lot of college teams playing each other in bowl games that really don’t mean a thing. Seriously, why can’t they just have a playoff with each conference champ?

Anyway, it’s not unusual for fans to have their little parties and bring some treats. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of treats relating to NCAA Division I sports.

UNC sugar cookies are almost impossible to resist at Chapel Hill.
