Imagine all the returns on NFL clothes and apparel? Hopefully the NFL gives them to the homeless but I doubt it. Probably gets sold online or overseas for whatever they can get.
I think a lot of that stuff gets donated to impoverished countries. That's why you'll often see in some news clip or documentary Third World villagers walking around with
Tampa Bay--Super Bowl LV Champions t-shirts and such. Kinda funny (Bucs fans in Zimbabwe??) but at least they're put to good use.

Haha ... you would think they would wait till AFTER the conference or SB are won, to produce champion apparel. Nobody cares about the losing team's "champion" clothes ...

The NFL thinks enough of the "fashion scene" (for lack of a better phrase) to put it (this) on the top page of NFL.com:
https://www.nfl.com/news/top-nfl-fits-f ... in-week-10
And it is funny how fashion sense changes over time.
I think 80% of their top picks are either atrocious or ludicrous. In some cases both.
Note the tabs which allow you to review every week of the season thus far and that they keep a running total as the season goes on... no doubt there'll be a "best dressed" at the end of the year... perhaps handed out at the NFL Awards banquet?
I just read the "review" of Tyrod Taylor's... "look:"
Taylor's fit vision was months in the making, centered on this Valentino jacket. His stylist and brand manager, DexRob, brought him the $5,000 blazer in August to wear for a birthday dinner, but it wasn't the right vibe. A second try with a different shirt, closed jacket, shorts and white and black loafers felt too extra for the duo. Then they decided to cut multiple buttons off the jacket, adding a more casual Uniqlo white tee, Celine jeans and Marni shoes. It was a hell of a hit.
Definitly not the kind of "hit" I think of when I think of football.
If Butkus thought all QBs should wear dresses what would he make of this?
Can you picture Csonka with a "stylist and brand manager?!"
Good Lord... this is not my father's NFL (or even mine).

Fans used to wear suits, ties and hats in the stands... different times, different mores.
This photo is from Nov 5, 1967 when the Cowboys hosted the Saints at the Cotton Bowl. Notice all the men in coats and ties? Even the ladies are nicely dressed. The young lady walking down the steps and carrying cotton candy apparently created quite a stir. Actually she was a well-known stripper at the time and worked for the infamous Jack Ruby. She also has an indirect connection to the modern Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders -- anyone wanna venture a guess? [photo credit: Dallas Morning News]

They could have the NFL Dandy of the Year Award

Man, that beehive is about 2 feet tall. I remember my sister-in-law had one that was probably a foot taller than that, circa 1966.
