There's still plenty of time before Sunday's kickoff to get in loads of pre-game Super Bowl 50 fashion and fun. The NFL Shop at Moscone Center West (747 Howard Street) plays host.
First and foremost, let's talk shopping. The 3,500-square-foot retail space features 1,500 styles and products commemorating SB 50. Yes, it's the largest and most exclusive collection of merchandise available anywhere. Specifically, you'll find licensed team and SB 50 apparel and memorabilia, including extra-cool, limited-edition items like the NFL Team Arrival 9Fifty caps worn by the players on Opening Night, and the SB50 Nike Fly Rush Alpha Jacket.
Plus, there's a special VIP Lounge, where real-gold memorabilia is on display, as well as special products from Nike, New Era, Wilson and more licensees. Fans can also create customized products a la Nike jerseys, Levi's denim jackets, tees, footballs, drinkware and more.
Another must-see? The OMG-worthy display of 35 (of 50) bespoke designer footballs, a collaboration between the NFL and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The pigskins will be available to be auctioned off, in order to benefit the NFL Foundation.
There's so much more going on, but we're most excited about tomorrow's NFL Wives Fashion Show. See the highlights below. (Get more details.)
