This story appears in ESPN The Magazines December 12 NFL Chemistry Issue. Subscribe today!How much does Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins like his bow ties? Enough to start Rock Avenue, a tie manufacturer-and soon a full mens clothing line. Jenkins spoke to us about his pre-game ensemble for the Nov. 13 game between the Eagles and the Falcons at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.?How would you describe your style??Ive always been a little preppy street. Thats how I would describe it. ?Im not all the way into street wear but I am not all the way into a suit and tie either, so I try to combine that look.?I like to mix in the two worlds and keep it kind of casual, but I own a bow tie company so I use the small pieces to add a little bit of preppy or formal look to a casual style.How do you put this outfit together? Usually I try to pick one piece and start building around it. So I said, okay, these are the jeans I want to wear. Then I said, I want to wear a sweater as I havent worn one in a while and I was unpacking all my winter clothes and I found that sweater. So those two pieces were the staples and then I built around it.You have a fashion show called?Looking Fly. What is that about??Yeah that was a one time thing that the Eagles had that me and my counterpart, safety Rodney McLeod do. If you asked anyone in the Eagles?locker room who the two most?fashionable guys are theyd probably?point out us two. So we did a fun piece where we got to critique the outfits of our teammates as we travel to one of the games.?We get guys all the time asking us for fashion advice, especially the big guys in the locker room. Theyre?trying to figure out what they should wear, if they can pull something off. And the biggest thing, one of D-Line man was trying to figure out if I could give him a contact for a good tailor, because hes trying to get?some suits and things are just not quite fitting right.Do you consult your stylist every Saturday night before the game??I have a really good friend of mine, hes a frat brother I went to school with, actually he went to a school up the street from Ohio State and he does shopping for me and he gives me some options. Hell pick the pieces for me and I kind of put them together as I see fit. If I do a photo shoot, he will style me. But before a game I style myself and put some things together that I have in my closet. If I am stuck or I got a couple of options that I like I will text him pictures of the clothes and he will tell me whats best to go with.?Who do you admire fashion wise? I am not really that big into fashion where I am looking at trends or what everyone else is doing. If I see something I like I will keep it in mind, but a lot of the time I am just online browsing. I will shop at Asos or Urban Outfitters. Urban Outfitters is probably where I buy most of my stuff from. I mix and match from different places.I do suits, but the last two years have been a bit more casual. This year we had a change in our dress code for when were traveling so Ive been doing a little more suits this year. But when I can, I prefer to be a bit more casual.?How did this outfit come about? I picked this outfit out the night before the game. I do it before I go to sleep, it takes me 15 minutes.John Varvatos sweater: I opened up my vacuumed sealed box of sweaters that I stored last year and pulled this one out. I bought this a while ago and never got around to wearing it so I decided on this one. I got this off of Gilt group, I used to use Gilt a lot, I havent shopped in a long time, but that was a site where I dropped a ton of money.Ashbury hat: I got this hat from a gifting suite at the Super Bowl. The NFLPA had an event and they had a bunch of companies there. It was kind of random, I went to this event and I got a free hat.Rock Avenue bow tie:? I started wearing clip-ons in 2010, as a way to standout in the locker room. The next year I finally learned I wanted a tie to reflect my own style and personality and my wife suggested that I make my own. So I bought some fabric and a sewing machine and Googled how to make a bow tie. I made four or five by hand, and they were wearable but I realized pretty quickly sewing is not my strong suit.It snowballed into me finding a manufacturer in New Orleans and I developed the line and got the fabric. My friend Eric who is the stylist and who I consult with, hes a partner in it. We are transitioning into a full mens clothing line.This one is a reversible tie so its made of two different patterns, one is a solid brown chambray, the other is a floral pattern, brown & black. I didnt want it to be too loud, I wanted it to blend in with the brown in the hat and the burgundy in the sweater and the shoes.?ASOS Always Rare jeans: These jeans are definitely out of my comfort zone. I wouldnt necessarily pick them for myself but my stylist suggested I wear them.The British Belt Company Holkham Satchel: I met them in NYC at a trade show. We were there selling bow ties, we walked around and ran into this company so I bought a duffel bag and messenger bag that goes with it. Inside the bag: my iPad, a notebook, some headphones and chargers.To Boot New York Hobson boots: These just go well with my outfit. I got them a few years ago from Boyds in Philadelphia. I think I got these for free because we did a charity fashion event there and one of the perks for doing the event was a free suit and some shoes. ?Meaux Moisture beard oil: My wife has an all-natural skin and hair product company. I use all of her products for my beard. She has a beard oil and a beard wash. So that is what I use. Ive been bearded the last four years, the beard is permanent now because I decided to go bald this season. ? Hayden Hurst Youth Jersey . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. Jaylon Ferguson Jersey .35 million, one-year contract that avoided salary arbitration. Plouffe batted .254 with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs in 477 at-bats last season, his second as a regular in the lineup. http://www.cheapravensshoponline.com/Youth-Hayden-Hurst-Ravens-Jersey/ . MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also will attend the session, which was announced Monday. The league has discussed placing its next two expansion teams in Miami and Atlanta. Hayden Hurst Jersey . -- When the Florida Panthers fell behind by two goals in the first period to the top team in the NHL, it appeared they were on their way to yet another loss. Joe Flacco Jersey . The defending champion beat Gael Monfils of France 7-6 (6), 6-3, while second-seeded Andy Murray of Britain dispatched Edouard Roger-Vasselin, also of France, 6-3, 6-3. Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set. TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals led the NFL in yards gained last year. They averaged 38 points a game.All the skill people returned. What should be well-oiled familiarity instead is disjointed and stagnant.The Cardinals (1-2) are coughing and sputtering at the start of each game, taking precious time to get in gear.Every year is different, coach Bruce Arians said after what was described as a spirited practice Wednesday. When you get everybody back you expect to be as good (as last year) or better. But other things change. Again, our performance is not acceptable so far.Arizona has yet to score a point in the first quarter, not against New England, not in a blowout win over Tampa Bay, and not last Sunday in a 33-18 loss at Buffalo .Last Sunday was the worst. The Cardinals didnt get a first down in their first five possessions and were down 17-0 in a hurry.Whats wrong?We always strive to score that first possession. Thats something I take pride in, said Arians, who prefers to take the ball first if the Cardinals win the coin toss rather than deferring to the second half. The biggest thing is third-down conversions, third-down conversions and poor first-down plays. If we have a short play weve gone a good job of getting it in second-and-five or less, but the third downs are the key, like they are every week.The Cardinals are 17 of 41 (41.5 percent) in third-down conversions. Against Buffalo, they were 5 of 15.Like most of his teammates, Carson Palmer wasnt at his best against the Bills, completing 26 of 50 passes for 260 yards. He threw four interceptions -- all in the fourth quarter -- and didnt throw a touchdown pass.Arians said two of the interceptions were the receivers fault for running the wrong route. The other two came when Palmer threw a couple up for grrabs in hopes of scoring quickly with the team so far behind.ddddddddddddPalmer was 7 for 14 for 44 yards in the first half.I think it always comes down to execution, Palmer said about the slow starts. Theres never one reason that kind of covers them all. Its execution -- everybody, all 11 guys executing the right play at the right time.Arians has said things might have worked out differently if Michael Floyd hadnt dropped the first pass of the game. Maybe the momentum of a catch would lead to an early score and the whole mood of the day would be altered.Floyd, who has just nine catches for 134 yards in three games, said a few big plays could loosen the team up.I think our offense feeds off our room, our group (wide receivers) and making big plays , he said. I think that feeds on the offense. I think it feeds on the whole team, seeing us making big plays out there. With me to start out the game with an incomplete pass., you know, I take that seriously and Im making sure that doesnt happen again.Its just starting of fast, making big plays and getting back into the groove and having that confidence that we can just go downfield and score.Much easier said than done with the rough defense of the Los Angeles Rams coming to town. The NFC West foes meet Sunday afternoon in Glendale.Game notes The Cardinals signed three players -- long snapper Aaron Brewer, punter Ryan Quigley and inside linebacker Joplo Bartu. ... With regular punter Drew Butler still in a walking boot due to an ankle injury, the holders job on extra points and field goals probably will to Quigley, Arians said.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
