The American football has been given a glitzy -- if slightly impractical -- makeover.
To
mark the 50th anniversary of the Super Bowl on February 8, the Council
of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has teamed up with the National
Football League (NFL) to create a series of bespoke, and often
bejeweled, footballs.
Fifty designers
-- including big names such as Tiffany & Co and Betsey Johnson --
have produced their own take on the normally brown leather ball. Gold
leaf, tassels, metal spikes and other extravagant embellishments can be
seen throughout the series.
Each piece is being auctioned online from now until February 14, and proceeds will go to the league's charity, the NFL Foundation. The minimum starting bid is $500.
