Halloween may be over, but the season offers many additional opportunities to dress up, and we’re talking costumes, not gowns and tuxes. With the coming of Super Bowl LIII to Atlanta, we think a look at football fashion is in order. In addition to reviewing the apparel of dedicated fans throughout the country who show their colors every Sunday, we’ll consider some of the best Super Bowl outfits we’ve seen at the NFL championship game parties we’ve produced.
We love a good cheese, but Green Bay Packers fans are known for taking things to extremes with their signature chapeaux en fromage. Did it sound any better in French?

A lot could be said about Raider Nation, fans of the Oakland Raiders, but we’ll just let the pictures do the talking.

When your team is called the Saints, and you hail from a cool, historical city like New Orleans, football fan costume creativity is a must. These outfits do not disappoint. How about that Joker?
Of course, we cannot leave our home team, the Atlanta Falcons, out of this conversation. Our local hero the Bird Lady was even chosen by Bud Light as a Super Fan. We’ll take it!

Like beer, fandom and football haberdashery are not limited to what goes on at the stadium.
When Super Bowl LI kicked off in Houston, we designed a space-theme party for celebrants in Atlanta. The décor included a full solar system and a ceiling with cloud and slinky treatments, but the costumes were out of this world. Guests suited up in foil minidresses, wacky sunglasses, and colorful, blunt-cut wigs blasted our theme to new heights. The good news is that revelers had so much fun hanging out at the glow bars and channeling space-age style that they survived the disappointment of the Patriots win.

The following year, the Minnesota location of Super Bowl LII demanded a theme that would celebrate the state’s most beloved son. We turned the Fairmont in West Midtown into a purple palace and installed more than 50 umbrellas across the ceiling and added “raindrop” diamante chandeliers. Despite the Prince-ly décor, the costume contest stole the show, even upstaging Justin Timberlake at halftime.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this look at super football fashion. And if you are lucky enough to have your team make it to Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta, you’d better review these tips for becoming a super fan from Wix.
