6. England Lionesses Euro 2025 Winners

Starting off strong, we’ve got the perfect solo, duo, or group costume that also celebrates a huge moment in women’s football (or soccer as we call it) history! The England Lionesses overcame the odds this year with their UEFA Women’s Euro win and the fandom excitement is not dying out anytime soon. To channel your inner Lioness, you’ll need an England jersey and shorts, a gold medal to wear around your neck, and if you want to take it a step further, carry around a soccer ball to complete the look!
DIY Tip: Make your own uniform by drawing or ironing-on an England logo onto a white t-shirt and blue shorts or make a Euro trophy replica out of tin foil for an easy prop.
5. MLB Umpire Crew
If you have a group of four and are looking for a costume that gives off crew energy, this one’s for you! The MLB Umpire Crew is infamous in the world of baseball. For those who don’t know, an MLB Umpire Crew is a four-person team of full-time Major League Baseball umpires that work together throughout the season, led by a crew chief. There are 19 teams of four in total, but typically only three teams take the field for every MLB game. To achieve this look, you’ll each need a black polo shirt, pants and a belt. You’ll also need a black cap, preferably one with the MLB logo, and an umpire mask.
DIY Tip: Make your own uniform by pasting a cut-out of the MLB logo on a black polo shirt or cap. You could also DIY your own umpire mask using papier mâché or black wire.
4. Studbudz Minnesota Lynx WNBA Duo
The next costume idea on our list is perfect for you and your partner in crime! The iconic WNBA Studbudz duo, Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman, have been taking the world by storm in 2025. After going viral with a 72-hour livestream on Twitch during the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend, the Minnesota Lynx teammates have become known for being unapologetically themselves. To pull this off, you and your bestie will need matching Minnesota Lynx kits (preferably with the numbers 10 and 2), pink hair colour spray, Oakley shades and a basketball.
DIY Tip: Make your own kit by ironing on the Minnesota Lynx logo and numbers onto a black jersey and shorts. If you don’t love the idea of spraying your hair pink, you could wear matching pink beanies instead!
3. A League of Their Own Player
If you’re someone who appreciates nostalgia and simpler times, we’ve got a costume that combines the vintage aesthetic with one of the most beloved sports movies ever made! Any true baseball fan is familiar with the Rockford Peaches from ‘A League of Their Own’. This 1992 classic sports film starring Tom Hanks tells the story of a WWII All-American professional women's baseball league and is still praised by critics to this day. Their iconic uniforms are simple, sophisticated and super easy to recreate. All you’ll need is a pink dress, a red belt, red knee-high socks, and a red cap to complete the look.
DIY Tip: Iron-on the Rockford Peaches logo to make your dress and cap look even more like the real thing and carry a baseball glove as an extra prop.
2. Space Jam Lola & Bugs Bunny
Next up on our list is another sports-inspired Halloween costume inspired by a cult-classic movie. Whether you’re channeling ‘Space Jam’, the 1996 film starring Michael Jordan, or ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ sequel, this costume is perfect for couples and sure to be a hit at any party. To achieve this look and represent the Tune Squad in style, you’ll need a white basketball jersey or tank top and matching shorts, a basketball, and bunny ears!
DIY Tip: Make your own Lola and Bugs jerseys by drawing or ironing-on the Tune Squad Logo and respective names on the back. If you want to go the extra mile you could even wear white gloves and a bunny tail.
1.Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Chiefs-Inspired
Last but not least is the biggest power couple in the world of sports for 2025, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift! You either love them or hate them, but there’s no other couple that’s made as many headlines this year. You and your significant other can easily pull off this couple’s costume channeling the NFL legend and biggest pop star in the world. For Travis, all you’ll need is a Kansas City Chiefs jersey, shorts and matching cap, and a fake moustache. For a team pride inspired Taylor Swift look, you can find Kansas City Chiefs jerseys with ‘Swift’ on the back, paired with some friendship bracelets, and the final look would not be complete without a huge engagement ring!
DIY Tip: The jerseys are super easy to DIY with some iron-on letters and numbers. Also, DIY your own friendship bracelets instead of buying them pre-made – it’s what Taylor would do!
