Meet the Men Behind the Masks: Super Bowl 50′s Most Stylish Players

This Sunday, February 7th marks the 50th NFL Super Bowl— a golden anniversary for one of the most expensive and profitable sporting events in U.S. history—with an average ticket price of $4,841.

This year it’s the Denver Broncos vs. Carolina Panthers. Both teams possess impressive rosters (with celebrity players like Peyton Manning and Cam Newton), nearly unbeatable rankings, and an abiding season-long fortitude that have propelled them both into limelight—on and off the field.

For the Broncos, a team that built itself with a “win-now” mentality, since signing quarterback Peyton Manning in 2012, have proven themselves as one of the most feared defensive units in the league. Really, no one’s getting by #58, Von Miller’s beastly build— Cam Newton, we’re talking to you. And since Manning’s acquisition, the team has continued to lure “blue chip” players with expensive, multi-million dollar free agent contracts for the likes of Safety T.J Ward and OLB DeMarcus Ware. Of course with the exception of an embarrassing loss during the 2014 Super Bowl (the Seattle Seahawks destroyed the Broncos in a 43-8 victory), the Denver team has perpetually grown as one of the strongest, best performing teams to date.

Contrary to the Broncos’ storied legacy—historically and defensively— is the emerging Carolina Panthers, who have had an out-of-the-blue, almost undefeated season with a 15-1 record. The team has played in the Super Bowl only once before in 2003, but have since scored the likes of NFL fans across the country, with their undeniable swagger. The Panthers boast offense above all; though have a solid defensive team to boot. Quarterback Cam Newton, who is eligible to be this season’s league MVP, has become a recent face of the NFL— in part, because he’s loud, he dances with every touchdown, and he has the most outrageous style in professional sports. His team members are equally  unabashed when it comes to their personal style.

We might not know who will take home the trophy or even MVP title but here’s a run-down of the most stylish players in Sunday night’s game.
