New York's Fashion Week -- notable for even more celeb
sightings than usual, even more parties we can't get
into and, yes, even more unattainable models (or
are they ... keep reading). There couldn't be a
more appropriate time to examine the young NFL season
and project which jerseys will be the hottest looks
of the fall and winter -- at frat houses, in
hip-hop videos, at stadium tailgates and -- we can't imagine why not -- at the parties the models go to:
| | Michael Vick's No. 7 jersey is a hot little item. | Any jersey-as-fashion discussion has to start with the
heaviest hitter, Michael Vick, who sports No. 7
for the Falcons (but how soon before everyone
has one?). On the other hand, avoid being sacked in the formerly scorching Steelers No. 10 (Kordell Stewart) ...
If you're looking for a can't-go-wrong classic, try
hanging out in Brett Favre's No. 4. We wish we
could say the same thing about Kurt Warner
(Rams No. 13) -- for the last few years, a great look, now just passé ...
While we're talking about flame-outs, break out your
No. 10 Browns jersey while Kelly Holcombe still
has the hot touch, but think about giving one-hit
wonder Shaun Alexander (Seahawks No. 37) to Good Will ...
Filed under "don't say we didn't give you a heads up,"
you can own the party this week by getting your hands
on a Panthers No. 9 Rodney Peete; try trading
away your Texans No. 8 David Carr for it (yes,
we know what we said about it a few weeks ago) ...
| | Shaun Alexander's new-look Seahawks jersey isn't a popular item this fall. | Finally, if you're looking for a jersey to take a
flier on, try Detroit No. 3 Joey Harrington.
No, not because he nor the team is going to find
on-field success; with Eminem's hugely
anticipated film "8 Mile" set to hit movie theaters
this fall, Detroit will be the next Hotlanta.
At least, that's what our friends near the runway are saying ...
Bolster your trendiness by checking out the rest of
what's hot and what's not hot this week. We won't guarantee anything, but the fashion models we know who read the list say they and their friends are very receptive to pick-up lines that incorporate the dish below:
