New York Jets legend Joe Namath resurrected his famous flashy duds for Super Bowl XLVIII. Broadway Joe showed up on the sidelines in a fur coat reminiscent of his playing days.
The former quarterback often wore a full-length fur coat on the bench in the 1960s and '70s -- a practice that has since been banned by the NFL. The eye-catching duds had Twitter talking and wondering when the wrath of PETA will hit.

If Joe Namath ran over and killed 105 rabbits on his way to the stadium, I think it's honorable that he's wearing them as a coat #recycle— SheilaWalsh (@SheilaWalsh) February 2, 2014
