The Worst Early Crow Super Bowl Tattoos

There’s confidence… and then there’s getting a Super Bowl tattoo before the season’s even warmed up.

Every NFL year delivers at least one punter who thinks the Lombardi is already in the bag, only to end up wearing the joke by December.

With Super Bowl week rolling around again, and featuring two teams NOBODY saw coming, here’s a look at the worst early crow Super Bowl tattoos ever inflicted on human skin.

A brutal reminder that optimism fades, but ink is forever.

Stick to Hockey

These are two separate tattoos of equal hilarity. The one on the left is particularly great because the Lions went 5-11 in 2005 with Joey Harrington and Jeff Garcia under centre – meaning this poor sap went all-in well before the season even started.

A Serious Case of Gang Green

Now here’s a guy thinking two steps ahead. The rug on the right suggests this once-proud Bills tatt is now covered by a fine layer of fuzz. Good thing, too. The last time Comic Sans was cool coincides with the same time the Bills last played in the Super Bowl (1994).

It could always be worse, though…

Run and Done? I’ll Pass

There isn’t enough beer in the world that could make this any better.

Philly (Is) Special

This is just Philly sports in a nutshell. One minute they’re throwing batteries, the next they’re a dynasty in the making. Also, where actually is this tattoo?

If that’s a shoulder, it’s a little too hairy for my liking.

The Sheriff Strikes Back

Peyton Manning, we thank you.

Dawg Awful

This one aged just as well as the Deshaun Watson signing.

Tony Oh-No!

My collarbone hurts just looking at this.

It Doesn’t Hurt to Dream

All ten Cardinal fans must have loved it when Joe Bob whipped this out at the tailgate!

9-7 Heaven

Cringeworthy, to say the least. But remember, the Colts hung a banner in the rafters to celebrate being a 2014 AFC Finalist, so it could always be worse.

Lamest Show on Turf

This is a great memento. The ‘L’ stands for loss and the “III” stands for the measly field goal the Rams managed against the Patriots a few years back.
