Vince Lombardi, 1967

Classic style—trench coat, fedora, and ripple-sole shoes—commands respect. It worked, too; his team, the Green Bay Packers, beat the Dallas Cowboys and moved on to the Super Bowl.

Look at the details on that tux: black trim, ruffled shirt, tight bow tie—perfection.

"Broadway Joe" could wear anything he liked and (mostly) get away with it. Here, it's a crazy mix of a silver-fox jacket, a velour shirt, a ski cap, and dope kicks. Confidence above all else.

A huge talent with huge hands and, unfortunately, a huge lapel and bow tie to match.

Most guys look like fashion sheep when they wear the team sweater. But it becomes ski-lodge chic when worn over a crisp white shirt and tie, with slacks, shades, and the perfect coif.

We believe the strategy here was to keep the eyeballs off the mullet by wearing a dizzying sweater and blinding sunglasses. It worked!

Oh man, remember when people used to roll up their shorts?

How can you be a real cowboy when your shirt is so blousy that it rivals Jerry Seinfeld's puffy shirt and your tie appears to be repurposed from Grandma's stockpile of quilting fabric?

We're so glad that whole baggy-pants phase is over. They make legs look absurdly short and shoes absurdly small. Varsity jackets, on the other hand, are back.

That coat-as-shield move can't hide the poorly tailored vest and overly pleated trousers. And that come-hither look ain't workin' either.
