It’s American football season in the US. In fact, it’s a most exciting time of the football season as teams count down to the NFL’s biggest game of the year: the Super Bowl. We found out last night that the 2012 Super Bowl will be played by the New York Giants and New England Patriots, two teams with serious fan followings. Apparently this Super Bowl match-up is exciting because it is happening for the second time in recent history. (The Giants and Patriots squared off for a win by the Giants in the 2008 Super Bowl.) We’re not in the spirit of betting on this XLVI Super Bowl, but we are all about noting who has the craziest fans. Die-hard NFL fans are a serious bunch. To that end, we’d like to shine some attention on some of the craziest NFL fan get-ups of the season.
The adult baby fan.
The spirited pirate of the sea fan.
The ‘I wish I was in Star Wars’ fan.
The crusty yellow mustache fan. Is that mustard, or paint? Yuck!
The turbo ‘we wear jerseys, paint our faces, wear wigs and stick our tongues out like Black Sabbath, and oh yes, we’re a couple!!” fans.
The part clown/part walking bed sheet fan.
