A season of fashion hits and misses
Samuel‘s Miami look wasn’t the first time his pregame fashion caught attention this season. In Week 10, during the 49ers’ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Samuel arrived in a leather jacket paired with black shorts, an outfit that quickly went viral for its bold combination.
Pregame fashion in the NFL has become an integral part of the league’s culture, with players like Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones often showcasing standout looks. Jefferson turned heads in a Gucci and North Face monogrammed puffer jacket, while Jones rocked his signature Mexican hat. Keion White also joined the conversation with a winter-ready outfit.
Samuel‘s off-field fashion choices highlight his playful personality, which resonates with fans even when his style choices are divisive.
While some may view his outfits as unconventional, Samuel‘s confidence and willingness to experiment with his look reflect the same boldness he displays on the field.
