Sloppy sweatshirts, beer bellies, foam hands, and embroidered baseball hats are the usual accessories of the fashion forward football fan. You're entering a fashion-free zone once you enter the stadium.
And then there's the freaky fan...God love 'em. These guys (usually middle-aged men but not always) aren't afraid of dressing up in bizarre getups and general exhibitionism to express loyalty to their team. They may be in Old Navy khakis and blue dress shirts Monday-Friday, but come Sunday it's time to get down to the business of body paint and Budweiser.
Last Sunday's Superbowl in Tampa was entertaining for several reasons. Okay, first of all, the game. Secondly, the great performances by Jennifer Hudson and Bruce Springsteen.
Jennifer looked divine in her skinny jeans, sky scraper heels, and military inspired jacket (I couldn't figure out how to post the photo here). Yes, we all know that she didn't sing live. Nobody does anymore. But, she certainly knocked em' dead in the studio that day.
Then there was Bruce. Looking so good for 59. He was strutting around the stage in the classic black jeans, fitted black button down combo he wears so well. Of course the best moment was when the boss slid into the camera man balls-first during 10th Avenue Freeze Out, but kudos to Bruce for even attempting such a rock n' roll slide when most men are thinking about retirement.
