He might be a monstrous force come gametime but off-the-field, Troy Polamalu has got a softer side. At least in the eyes of female NFL fans. CNBC's Darren Rovell reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers safety has the best-selling jersey among women. So while they love Tom Brady's model looks and Drew Brees' model family, Polamalu win theirs hearts with those long, luscious Samoan curls.

There's been a lot of talk about female fashions at the Australian Open and rightfully so, but what about the bling? Many have discussed that too short, too revealing, too bold on-court attire can be a distraction to players and their opponents, yet their jewelry can do the same thing. Several competitors have been seen wearing long dangling earrings, necklaces, bracelets and even rings during tournament play. Aside from interfering with their game, most of these sparklers are so expensive that losing them during a match could be an even worse distraction. In fact, the term "tennis bracelet" itself became... Continue reading

When former University of Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez was fired on January 5th, it prompted this tweet from A Glam Slam: We know that when a team loses a championship game, their pre-made winning gear is typically shipped off to Third World countries.

When brainstorming gimics to help garner media attention, he decided it would be best to let his clothes do the talking. Or in this case, the yelling. The typically conservative dresser took a major fashion risk and now the Morehead State women's basketball team is reaping the rewards. Hodges had contacted... Continue reading

Fashion plays a larger role in sports than many people realize. While the primary concern of fans, players, coaches etc. is of course the game, all parties are embracing fashion more than ever.
