1) Popularity of Custom Cleats: It seems as though custom cleats have become a popular thing around the NFL and I have a theory as to what caused this sudden boost….Social Media. With every social media platform such as Twitter, Vine, Instagram, etc., incorporating a visual medium, the world has become smaller and subsequently, so has the NFL. Players from various teams are taking note of superb customs and want to partake in the creative footwear. We are even witnessing various teams such as the Cincinatti Bengals and Washington Redskins show off their players’ customs within their organizations’ respective social media accounts. Be sure to take note on how this trend continues throughout the league.

2) Puma or Under Armour?: It’s interesting to witness Puma endorsed athletes rocking Under Armour models during the 2014 season. The two notable representatives of the Puma brand are Jamaal Charles and Jadeveon Clowney, both of whom have been seen sporting various Under Armour cleats this season. Whether its simple NFL uniform policy or something more, the slight variation in footwear is something to take note of as we reach the midway point of the season.
