The biggest names and athletes have always been a part of the style world, either by way of their on-court actions or their off-court appearances. But what about the teams themselves? Taking individual players out of the equation, how does the image of a sports club or franchise translate into the general spectrum of how guys dress—regardless of what team(s) they support?

The style impact of a team goes beyond the players on the court, but embodies the attitude, the success, and the cool of a team—regardless of what era or what particular squad catapulted the franchise into the spotlight. Even though Jordan is done playing, sneakers will always have Chicago Bulls' "bred" colorways, Jordan Brand or not. The Yankees cap is worn everywhere from the Bronx to Boston and beyond. These aren't the effects players had on style, but the effect of each franchise on style, far beyond what the teams mean in their respective leagues. These are The Sports Teams That Have Had the Greatest Impact on Men's Style.
