As October 31st rapidly approaches, everyone is trying to get their costume together, or costumes plural if you\u2019re a Halloween enthusiast. For sports fans, it\u2019s easy to default to throwing on our favorite player\u2019s jersey and calling it a night, but here\u2019s a few tips on how to elevate your costume.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Head to eBay, the local Goodwill, or an online retailer to find a vintage jersey. Everyone could wear a brand new, 2021 Lamar Jackson Ravens jersey, but you\u2019ll stand out from the crowd if you roll around in a 1972 Johnny Unitas Baltimore Colts jersey. Even if you don\u2019t want to go that far back in history, at least throw it back to when Tom Brady played for the Patriots.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Don\u2019t be afraid to go all out with your gear. Whip out your old cleats, pads, hats, skates, or whatever equipment you used for your sport of choice in high school. Trying to relive your glory days of travel soccer, but you don\u2019t have your old gear? Ask a friend!<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Really get into character. Want to pretend you\u2019re Alex Ovechkin for the night? Ask a friend to knock out a couple of your teeth and repeat the phrase \u201cRussian machine never break\u201d in the mirror a few times before you head out.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Don\u2019t go alone– find your team! To get the full effect of what you\u2019re trying to show off and to have more fun, get your friends in on the plan and dress up together.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you\u2019re really lost on your costume and need a step-by-step guide, check out a few of these costume ideas:<\/span><\/p>\n
