The CFDA announced in December that it would be teaming up with the NFL in honor of the upcoming Super Bowl 50. Last year, they unveiled a series of 48 customized football helmets, including this sick headgear from Public School.
Now, with the big event only weeks away we finally have a look at the new collaboration, a collection of bespoke footballs. This time around 50 members of the CFDA created their own versions of the balls, which carried a gold theme in honor of the 50th anniversary. Among them were designer Billy Reid who created a black stripped ball using Louisiana wild alligator and Todd Snyder who covered his in chino. Ovadia & Sons went with a flashier design, adding 10,665 Swarovski crystals to its ball.
Other designs include Melissa Joy Manning's ball, which is encrusted with 17,500 Swarovski crystals, and Rachel Roy's python ball featuring a gold-plated handle.
All the footballs will be unveiled at the NFL offices in New York on Jan. 20. Like last year, they will eventually be auctioned off on NFL.com to benefit the NFL Foundation.
Check a few of them out below.
