A Team Halloween Costume Ideas for Diehard Fans

Website design By BotEap.comSince the 1983 launch of the adventure television series, A Team has amassed a massive following. With the release of the film in 2010, this group of American soldiers who put down terrorism has gained even more fans than ever. This Halloween, you and your friends can make a grand entrance when the four of you walk into the biggest Halloween party in town dressed as Hannibal, Faceman, BA, and Murdock. There are no full officially licensed costumes available, but becoming the A-Team definitely isn’t difficult with a bit of military gear, some fake weapons, and a little bit of wit and ingenuity.

If you want to be Hannibal, he just put on a pair of black gloves and always have a cigarette in his mouth. The rest of the outfit isn’t as remarkable, but you can wear a clean khaki jacket over a pair of black pants and a polo shirt. If you really want to go all out, you can even dye your hair gray.

Website design By BotEap.comTempleton “Faceman” Peck is the smooth-tongued hustler of the group. He knows how to surprise the ladies (and gentlemen) and uses this ability to get the group’s resources. Faceman is neat and knows how to take advantage of his good looks to get what he needs. Wear a clean, expensive-looking outfit, not necessarily expensive, and be sure to add a bit of self-confidence to your walk.

Website design By BotEap.comBefore BA became “Born Again” it was actually “Bad Attitude” so make sure your attitude oozes through your costume. BA will likely stand out from the rest of the A Team gang as she has the most distinctive appearance of them all. First of all, a Mohawk is a must. If you’re not willing to live with a bold new haircut after Halloween, you can get a Mohawk wig at one of your local Halloween stores. Second, wear overalls and a sleeveless vest and wear lots of gold jewelry. And don’t forget to wear a “Bad Attitude”!

Website design By BotEap.comGulf War/Vietnam pilot (depending on whether you watched the TV series or the movie) Murdock is truly a genius under the cloak of insanity. He is most often seen wearing a baseball cap pushed to the side and a t-shirt emblazoned with funny captions or cartoon images, such as The Jetsons. If he, too, can get his hands on an A-2 leather flight jacket with the words “Da Nang 1970” and a picture of a tiger on it, then he’s good to go. Remember to walk Murdock’s talk during the night. That means, take on the theme of genius on the brink of madness!

If you can get your hands on something like a black and gray truck (paint it, if you have to!), it would be the grand entrance of the night if you and your gang drive up to the party entrance in your very own A Team truck and wow! the rest of the partygoers in their A-Team costumes.
