Today GQ announced GQ Style Wars, a new charitable competition that will pit the best‑dressed NFL stars against each other in a contest which will name one lucky player GQ’s most stylish. GQ has selected twelve of the most stylish players from the league and invited them to submit their most fashionable photos. For six weeks, fans will have the opportunity to vote for the player they think is best-dressed on GQ.com. The winner will officially be named GQ’s most stylish NFL player and will be awarded ten thousand dollars for his charity of choice.
Participants include: Victor Cruz (New York Giants), Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers), Eric Decker (New York Jets), Colin Kaepernick (San Francisco 49ers), Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals), Arian Foster (Houston Texans), Earl Thomas (Seattle Seahawks), Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers), Demarco Murray (Dallas Cowboys), Donte Whitner (Cleveland Browns), Eric Ebron (Detroit Lions), and Randall Cobb (Green Bay Packers).
“Thanks in large part to the influence of GQ, professional athletes have become the white-hot center of the fashion world,” said Chris Mitchell, Vice President and Publisher, GQ. “The NBA created an entire wave of trendsetters and right on their heels is the NFL. Style Wars celebrates this surge of NFL style and allows fans and readers to partake in the fun, all in the name of charity–and sartorial pride, of course.”
The competition will begin on September 4 and fans will vote on GQ.com’s user‑generated platform, “HowGQRU?” Voting will end on Wednesday, October 15. Check it out at: http://www.gq.com/hgqru/stylewars
