With the World Cup dominating sports headlines for the past weeks – and for a few more to come – the devoted NFL fan might be experiencing a bit of withdrawal until the pre-season begins. While soccer has claimed the moniker of “the beautiful game”, football prides itself on being more… rustic. With that in mind we’re counting off a list of twelve of the craziest NFL fans you’re likely to see and their shabby inventive costumes. You may recognize some of these characters, a few of whom have obtained a modicum of fame (or infamy, depending on who you root for). You may even recognize yourself reflected in the outlandish devotion of these fans.
