In an effort to establish a blue collar, workmanlike atmosphere for the 2009 season, Colts receiver Reggie Wayne showed up to training camp in a dump truck wearing a hard hat, orange vest and carrying a lunch box. Kinda gimmicky, but not overly corny. And since the NFL takes such pride in its parity, it’s no surprise that other players in the league took Wayne’s idea and made it their own. Here’s a quick rundown of what some other players were seen sporting on the first day or practice in order to set the tone at their respective camps:

Matt Leinart: robe, flip-flops, his old USC jersey, rolled up Grant Theft Auto: San Andreas strategy guide, venti Chai Tea. “This is what I wore every day at USC and I was 37-2 there,” quipped Leinart.

Sage Rosenfels: John David Booty’s jersey, Wrangler jeans.

Ben Roethlisberger: ‘Take Back The Night’ t-shirt.

Michael Vick: Pat White mask.

Reggie Bush: Lowered expectations.

Tony Romo: new pet cougar.

Shawne Merriman: giant novelty douchebag.

Chad Ochocinco: Macbook Air with custom Ochocinco skin, ‘Genius’ t-shirt.

Steve Smith: nasty right hook, short fuse.

Derrick Mason: Brett Favre mask, Wrangler jeans.

Jarvis Moss: See above.

Clinton Portis: pink feather boa, sheriff’s badge, oversized Turd Ferguson hat, spiked codpiece, you know…the usual.

Lendale White: Afro, to go with this ensemble.

Matthew Stafford: ‘Smell My Finger’ t-shirt.

Jamarcus Russell: Effeminate, freckled shadow.

Jay Cutler: Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal jerseys, as gifts for his WR corp.

Braylon Edwards: whatever he wore the first day of camp in 2007.

Michael Crabtree: inflated sense of self worth; the notion that he’s still at Texas Tech.

Donte Stallworth: ticket stub, binoculars.

Plaxico Burress: cigarettes, cans of mackerel.
