* BaldOfAwesome: Both men.

* ItIsPronouncedTropay:
** Often when talking to American guests, both men would often pronounce "soccer" as "so-CAHH", mostly making the guest laugh.
** Rog has pointed out in an interview that he and Michael have practically taught Americans how to pronounce English cities, such as Leicester and Bournemouth.

* SeparatedByACommonLanguage: Occasionally {{discussed}}, whether it be about British and American accents, or phrases, or British customs. For example, an American fan wrote to the men about how confused they were over British nicknames, recalling a time at university abroad when he knew British students with nicknames like "Gazza", saying that it took them a long time to realise that so-called "Gazza" was Gary, they ask that would their nickname be "Cassa" because their name is Carson. Roger and Michael reply that it would actually be "Carsy", and then apologise immediately between laughs.[[note]]"Khasi" is British slang [[UnfortunateName for "toilet"]].[[/note]]

'''''Men in Blazers''''' is the combined creation of Michael Davies (born March 3rd 1966) and Roger Bennett — two British men that live in New York, who hope to spread the English footballing culture all over the United States. They have a [[http://www.soundcloud.com/meninblazers weekly podcast]], an [[http://www.meninblazers.com official website]], and a late-night TV series on NBCSN that began in 2014.

** Before their TV show airs, the Men in Blazers Twitter page releases the official leader board of the Premier League, in which the names of the teams reflect the men’s reactions to how said team have performed that week.

* {{Eagleland}}: Roger often talks about The USA in an “America the Beautiful” way. When he eventually got his American citizenship, this became exaggerated to the max.

** Ian Darke is often called "[[KnightFever Sir]] Ian".

* CurrentEventsBlog: The franchise talks about the world of English Premier League football, as well as TheFACup, La Liga, UsefulNotes/UEFAChampionsLeague and what's going on in the MLS.

They mostly talk about international teams from UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball outside of America, but mostly the EnglishPremierLeague. They were made a household name to some after their coverage of the 2014 Brazil World Cup, and their popularity has increased from there, probably being one of the biggest reasons why soccer is becoming the new football in the country.

* SoccerHatingAmericans: The series often plays on this. There was one feature in which a MajorLeagueBaseball player tried to "translate" how soccer works into baseball.
* SpecialGuest: In their TV series, they would occasionally interview MajorLeagueSoccer players (and the [[DistaffCounterpart NWSL players]]), and other sports players (NationalFootballLeague quarterback Andrew Luck and Brandon [=McCarthy=] from the New York Yankees), as well as celebrities (such as Creator/WillFerrell, Creator/MollyRingwald and fellow Brit Creator/JohnOliver).

* IThoughtItMeant: Even though they often initialise the show as "[=MiB=]", it's highly unlikely that they're not talking about [[TheMenInBlack what you might be thinking]].

* OneShot: On their TV show, it's mostly one camera on the two of them in their tiny office/studio with occasional angles and footage from a recent match from the Premier League.
