With the NFL 2024 Season in full swing, the competition is heating up – on and off the field. Football and Fashion fans alike have all eyes on the Pro’s pre-game tunnel outfits. Players across the league are dressing to impress like never before. Athletes, once perceived as “jocks”, are becoming fashion icons and catalysts of social change; influencing trends, sparking conversation, and inspiring designers and fans. As the seasons progress, fashion just keeps getting better and better, so let’s take a closer look at the best-dressed pros of the 2024 season so far.
Ray-Ray Mccloud iii
Ray-Ray McCloud III is slowly but surely solidifying the title of best-dressed Pro, always stepping into the tunnel in high fashion. The Falcons’ Wide Receiver makes his mark on, not only the football community but the fashion industry as well. McCloud’s avant-garde approach and pristine attention to detail leave fans eager to follow his style development in the future.
Kyler Gordon
The Bears cornerback is slowly but surely showing off his spot-on style. Kyler Gordon is serving some of the hottest fits of the season. Designer and Celebrity Stylist, Jason Rembert, consistently dresses his client in head-turning threads. Over the pond, Gordon wore a full Burberry fit for the Week 6 game in London. Nothing is stopping Gordon from showing out with the most fire fits for the rest of the season.
Pharaoh Brown
The Cleveland native did not come to play in Week 6, stepping out in a full All.prolific fit. The small brand out of Houston dressed Pharaoh Brown in their leather shirt and silk stacked pants, tying the look together with a matching headscarf. It’s clear that the Seattle Seahawks newbie won’t just be checking linebackers this season, but fits too.
Brandon Jones
This custom Duane & Johnson weighted cotton twill blend jacket with hand-sewn pearl embellishments (a mouthful, I know) was a true showstopper. Broncos fans and fashion lovers, myself included, were raving over Jones’ look from Week 7. It’s obvious the Broncos’ safety is bringing elegance, drip, and quality to the table this season.
Benjamin St-Juste
Benjamin St-Juste is taking his fits this season in a new direction. Styled by Abdel Louissaint, the two are fusing French-chic and streetwear, putting together clean cut and trendy fits. St-Juste is truly proving that his immaculate taste is a standout in this season’s NFL fits.
Odell Beckham Jr. and Duke Riley
Duke Riley & OBJ are the MVPs of the gameday drip. These two know how to enter in style. The Miami Dolphins duo notoriously rock the sickest bags to compliment their looks. Whether they’re down in the 305 or breaking the Miami heat, the two are always stepping out in fitted streetwear.
Pat Surtain II
Pat Surtain II isn’t afraid of mixing colors and patterns and I’m all for it. While we know the two-time All-Pro cornerback has impeccable taste in kicks, he’s giving the other players a run for their money with his stand-out fits. Sporting a full Louis Vuitton fit with a mixed media, distressed jacket and monochromatic trousers, Surtain is proving that being dripped down in logos doesn’t need to be flashy.
As the regular season comes to an end, it is evident that the fusion between Fashion and Sports is prominent and evolving. The pros are proving to shift trends and stand out from the mainstream, with their influence stretching far beyond the field. Each week, the tunnel heats up with creativity, innovation, and fashion as a form of art. If there is any indication – Athletes are becoming trailblazers in Fashion and sports circles alike.
