In honor of Super Bowl Sunday today, I thought I would share
with you one of the greatest collaborations in the history of fashion and
sports. Bloomingdale’s launched Fashion Touchdown, a collaboration with the
NFL (National Football League) and CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of
America).
My Favorite Fashion League Helmets

CFDA and Bloomingdale’s assembled a team of 48 designers,
from rookies to Hall of Famers, to create some of the most fashion-forward
football helmets. Granted, these are not the most user-friendly football helmets.
I wouldn’t recommend trying out Richard Chai’s helmet in a 9 on 9 scrimmage,
but these fab helmets are so unique and each embody their own character. I
would love to have the Nicole Miller helmet if anyone is interested in bidding
on it for me. It would make for quite the conversational piece on the mantle.
Speaking of bidding, yes, these helmets are all being auctioned off at
NFL.com and
100% of the proceeds go to the NFL Foundation, an organization striving to
improve the health and safety of sports by supporting youth football programs
and community sports nationwide. Currently the John Varvatos helmet has the
highest bid at $2,276. Bidding goes until Tuesday, so you still have a chance
to get your hands on these fashionable football helmets.

Tell me which helmet are you most lusting over? Or even more
importantly, I suppose, who are you cheering for in today’s big game?
