Joe Burrow ticked a lot of the boxes you want and expect from your starting quarterback on and off the field already in just his second season after being drafted with the league’s No. 1 pick.

But while the franchise’s young face has proven himself on the grill so far, he’s also become a bit of a celebrity off the court with his fiery social media comments and unique fashion sense.

Here’s a look back at some of Burrow’s most memorable outfits since becoming a Bengal.

Burrow ‘Buffs’

After the Bengals defeated the Raiders in an AFC wildcard matchup to end a 31-year playoff drought that kept the fan base captive in misery, Burrow descended on the press conference of post-game with a swagger that blew up social media. Wearing Cartier sunglasses, commonly known as “Buffs”, a popular name in Detroit’s hip-hop scene, Burrow was asked if there was any “meaning” to his glasses after the big win.

“Oh, no,” he replied with a laugh, “I just think they’re pretty cool, what do you think?”

Capitalizing on the attention it received online, Cincy Shirts created a Warhol-style shirt of Burrow wearing the glasses available for purchase called “Joey Warhol”.

My cause, my cleats

Without a doubt, Burrow’s most impactful fashion statement was in the form of a pair of cleats he wore against the Los Angeles Chargers earlier this season. While wearing special cleats for an NFL game is nothing new, the story behind Burrow’s shoe choice carries a lot of weight.

Burrow first drew attention to some of the food insecurity issues many people face in his hometown of Athens County during his Heisman Trophy speech in 2019. Since then, he has spurred other people to create a Facebook page that raised $350,000 leading to Joe Burrow Hunger Relief. Funds.

Burrow’s cleats against the Chargers were orange and green and read “Foundation for Appalachian Ohio” on one side and “Athens County Food Pantry” on the other, with “Joe Burrow Hunger Relief Fund” on the back.

Spongebob Costumes

Ahead of a Week 11 showdown with the Washington Football Team during his rookie season, Burrow, who wore a custom suit to every game, tapped Hellman Retail Group, a high-end menswear store from downtown, to put his lifelong affinity with SpongeBob SquarePants into pre-game shape. The result? A “bold purple plaid suit with a SpongeBob twist.” The costume included a floral print on the inside and a SpongeBob pocket square to top off the style. Burrow wore custom costumes with SpongeBob accessories for several games and previously explained why he loves the Nickelodeon show so much.

“I was scared of everything growing up,” he said. “I still don’t like horror movies, I don’t like haunted houses or anything like that. I couldn’t watch ‘Harry Potter’, ‘Lord of the Rings’, ‘House’. I was strictly Spongebob, Disney Channel, a little Nickelodeon.”

‘Bengals by 30 based on this and that alone’

Ahead of a pivotal game with the Chiefs that would clinch an AFC North title and a playoff appearance for the Bengals, Burrow was photographed in a casual look with a t-shirt featuring photos of his top three wide receivers, Ja ‘Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins. The look caught the attention of Twitter users when NFL reporter Dov Kleiman tweeted about the pre-game outfit.

“Love it. All three receivers were heavily involved in Burrow’s massive game last week and all three can still have big games today,” one user wrote.

Ho, ho, ho, Burrow!

Prior to the game, he also presented a Santa hat and opted to wear a crew neck sweatshirt that read, “Happy Holla Days” with a Santa making a peace sign.

Cozy Joey

While Burrow became known for his sharp custom suits worn in pregames of his rookie season, the quarterback began to exhibit a more veteran and comfortable vibe in his sophomore season. On Nov. 21, when the Bengals traveled to Las Vegas for a game against the Raiders, Burrow flaunted his most comfortable outfit yet, a matching Jordan-brand tracksuit he wore while holding a gym bag and wearing a knit Dunder Mifflin beanie, a nod to the popular show “The Office.”

Burrow described the outfit as “comfortable”, insisting he wasn’t making a fashion statement during an interview with CBS’ Evan Washburn.

“I just put on what feels good to me, I don’t think about it too much,” he said. “I say I like it and I toss it.”

Burrow spoke at length with Washburn about his unique sense of fashion during the interview, insisting he’s not looking to make a statement, but rather dons clothes he finds beautiful on this day. -the. But when asked if he was the best-dressed Bengal, Burrow didn’t hesitate to answer.

“Of course,” he said, laughing. “Not even close.”
