All eyes are on the New England Patriots—and not just because of their  “deflate-gate” scandal. The football team might be at risk of massive fines, missed draft opportunities, public shaming, and, most importantly, Tom Brady’s hurt feelings, but they’re getting one thing right: their outfits.

What do you do when you’re feeling down and everyone’s watching? Shop till you drop, obviously! The team landed in sunny Arizona on Monday afternoon looking like they just rolled in from Milan’s Pitti Uomo (where men show off their finest tailored suits and colorful accessories), hailing the paparazzi’s attention in their tailored best.

The Patriots’ wide receiver, Julian Edelman, posted a paparazzi shot of himself to Instagram. He’s stepping off the team’s jet looking like the perfect hybrid of lumbersexual-meets-Christian Grey. Teammates followed the well-coiffed heartthrob, clutching their Louis Vuitton totes and studded Louboutin loafers, collectively giving the NBA a run for their money.

Compared to their rivals, the Seattle Seahawks—who arrived wearing Dr. Dre Beats headphones over hooded sweatshirts with track pants—the Patriots looked like the sports world’s answer to the Victoria’s Secret angels, exiting their sexy private jet to take the show by storm.

Edelman’s Instagram included the cool, casual caption “Business trip.” And that’s exactly what the Patriots need to do to redeem themselves—do work!
