Much like the NFL Draft, National Signing Day affords future football stars a chance to begin working on their off-field fashion game. Players announced their new schools stylistically, incorporating team hues into their ensembles. Some wore a tie for the very first time, while others demonstrated the swagger and confidence that fans are more likely to see from style veterans.

The newest crop of recruits also proved they are partial to bow ties. The adornment was paired with a number of fashions from vests and sweaters to suspenders and coats. “Swag” caps and airbrush tees were among the day’s casual style statements. The slideshow below highlights memorable “Signing Day Styles.” Check it out:
