Make a Superbowl statement
Since my Green Bay Packers
are trail-blazing to Superbowl XLV, now's the perfect time to bead my
team spirit — loud and proud. Okay, you don't have to be a Packer fan to run with this idea. All you need: your team colors, a bead room stocked with stragglers, and the courage to go eclectic. This necklace strung with rings, crystals, and metals in shades of The Pack makes an upbeat statement that's stylish enough for this fashionista — but carefree enough to answer your praising party-people with, "What, this? Just something I whipped up." You don't have time to explain your process anyhow; you've got a game to watch, chips to dip, and Aaron Rodgers to ogle.

Cheesy charms
There's no time like the Superbowl to go playful with your jewelry — it's a game, after all. These charms are just the thing for a Cheesehead like me, but you're free to use your own team's mascot and legacy as inspiration. (But please, keep your bear charms to yourself!)

Sporty components
For the fan who wants to string more literal Superbowl bling, there's a football bead from J.P. Imported Beads with your name on it. Football not your thing? Never fear — they've got all your favorite pastimes covered, from baseball to roller skating. The possibilities are endless!

"A" is for Aaron
Alphabet beads are a bold, in-your-face way to spell out your spirit. Keep it classy with metallic charms or string colorful cubes in your team colors. Shout it out loud and let the world know where your game-time-loyalties lie! (And if anyone has "G-O, P-A-C-K, G-O" hiding in their bead room, you know where to send 'em.)
