Super Bowl Beard Playbook
Super Bowl Sunday, the holy grail of game days, is right around the corner, and if you’re anything like us, you’re gearing up for epic plays, hilarious commercials, and an absolutely reckless amount of wings, nachos, and greasy finger foods. But here’s the thing: game day eats and beards don’t always get along.
Whether rocking a clean, shaped beard like Travis Kelce or a wild and full-on lumberjack look like Jason Kelce, you’ll want to keep your beard from becoming a buffalo sauce casualty. So, let’s break down how to enjoy every bite without your beard paying the price. Plus, we’re giving a shout-out to some of the best beards in Super Bowl LIX.
How to Keep Your Beard Clean While Dominating the Snack Table
There’s no shame in going all-in on game-day food. But there is shame in finding a dried-up glob of queso in your beard the next morning. Here’s how to avoid the mess and keep your beard looking championship-level fresh.
1. Pre-Game Grooming: Trim It Up
Before kickoff, give your beard a little lineup. If your mustache hairs are creeping over your lips, trim them back so they don’t become a landing strip for wing sauce. A quick run-through with a beard comb and some beard oil or beard balm will also keep things looking sharp.
2. Choose Your Game Plan for Eating
Some foods are beard-friendly; others are beard disasters waiting to happen. If you don’t want your beard to look like a toddler’s bib, try this:
- Take smaller bites - We’re all excited, but let’s not go full beast mode on that double cheeseburger.
- Use utensils - Sure, it might feel weird eating nachos with a fork, but if it saves your beard from a queso bath, it’s worth it.
- The Beard-Tuck Method - If you’ve got an extra-long beard, gently tuck it into your shirt before digging in. (Yes, it looks ridiculous, but so does having a beard full of guacamole.)
3. Have a Beard Cleanup Kit Ready
Keep some napkins, beard wipes, or even a damp towel nearby because things are gonna get messy. A quick wipe-down between bites keeps your beard from becoming a food trap. Pro tip: A pocket comb is your best friend when dealing with rogue crumbs.
4. Stay Hydrated & Rinse Off the Evidence
Between all the beer, wings, and shouts of frustration at questionable referee calls, drink some water. It will keep you hydrated, and it helps rinse away any stray food bits hiding in your beard. Nobody wants to smell hot sauce in their mustache for the rest of the night.
5. Halftime Beard Refresh
Before the second-half showdown, hit the bathroom for a quick beard refresh. A splash of water, a little beard oil, and a comb-through will bring your beard back to life before the next round of snacks.
The Best Beards in Super Bowl LIX
Some players show up on game day with killer stats. Others show up with legendary facial hair. Here’s who’s winning the Super Bowl Beard Battle this year:
🏈 Travis Kelce (Kansas City Chiefs)
The Chiefs’ star tight end keeps it clean, shaped, and sharp, proving that you can have both style and substance on and off the field. If his game is as strong as his beard, Kansas City might be celebrating another ring.
🏈 Jason Kelce (Philadelphia Eagles)
This man’s beard is an absolute force - big, bold, and completely unbothered. Whether he’s making plays or rocking out shirtless in the stands, Jason Kelce proves that a powerful beard is a game-changer.
Final Thoughts: Keep Your Beard Game Strong on Super Bowl Sunday
The Super Bowl is all about going big, whether it’s the plays, the snacks, or the beards. So enjoy your wings, your nachos, and whatever ridiculous snacks your buddy Dave decided to bring, just make sure your beard doesn’t end up wearing half the menu.
