Here goes my first post of 2016, and it’s unsurprisingly about the Super Bowl, my favorite event. As what I believe to be an effort to further encourage women’s viewership, the NFL has paired up again with the CFDA for 50 one-of-a-kind, designer-decorated footballs. In 2014, 48 designers contributed to the helmet project [here]. This year’s class includes, Rag & Bone, Rachel Zoe, Alice & Olivia, Jennifer Meyer, Marchesa, Rebecca Minkoff, and Prabal Gurung, to name a few. You can see the rest of the collection on the link below. What are your favorites? Do you think the NFL and CFDA make a good partnership?

+ Quick check-in here: Football season is officially here! I’m excited to seem the Rams take a victory yesterday, but not at the cost of my fantasy teams’ success. Can’t win it all. Tonight is the first MNF for my girls league, which is one of my favorite traditions.

My week is packed with projects and catching up on September issues. Cheers!

Tomorrow evening is the Heisman Trophy Presentation, one of my favorite sport moments of the year. While it’s about celebrating this season’s top talent, with all signs pointing to FSU’s Jameis Winston as the shoe-in winner, it’s the heritage of the award and the spirit of football that really nabs me. And if tuning in for football reasons isn’t your thing, sometimes some of the attendees make some questionable sartorial choices.

Los Angeles-based leather goods brand KILLSPENCER recently launched their Athletics line of sport essentials, and the quality looks outstanding.  Made in the USA, KILLSPENCER maintains an excellent commitment to craft, which is clearly reflected in the assortment of baseball, football, soccer, and boxing core items. All that’s missing is a baseball mitt, which I’m sure Spencer and team have already though through.

Available here.

+ X Games had its final curtain call here in Los Angeles. It didn’t really go out with the bang that I had hoped it would, but it was almost fitting since it reflected the touchy state of action sports [in my opinion]. I’ve taken for granted the past 10 years of X in my backyard, so here’s to hoping that the train keeps chugging along and that Austin takes real good care of it. You’re always welcome back, X Games.

+ Message in the sky: if you squint really hard, you can make out the phrase “Don’t Do It” on the plane banner. A not so subtle message to The Swoosh.

+ Football’s back! Kind of…pre-season and all that stuff.

+ Sunday brunch with the girls at Public Kitchen. I’d give it a B.

+ Have a terrific week!
