As sage philosopher Ian Hunter once opined, "Cleveland Rocks." So, for NFL phenomenon and noted car enthusiast Odell Beckham Jr. to celebrate his recent signing to the Cleveland Browns football team with anything less than a fully customized Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV would have been perceived as downright disrespectful to both the city and the team.

Customized by Dreamworks Motorsports of Roxboro, North Carolina, which, judging by the roster of clientele featured on its website, is more than a little familiar with creating rides for well-heeled athletes of the NFL and NBA variety, the Cullinan is wrapped in the Browns' contrasting "Dawg Pound" orange hue. It also features custom-painted 26-inch Forgiato wheels with floating Rolls-Royce center caps, a one-off starlight headliner, and the requisite JL audio sound system, among other details.

Brodacious as it is, the single most daring element is the replacement of the traditional Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament with a custom figurine of Beckham making the same insane catch that first made him a star as a rookie with the New York Giants-but in this version, he's wearing a Browns jersey. We desperately hope he says, "Little Odell, time to come out and play" when the wide receiver hits the switch to move the ornament into its erect position on the hood.

While Little Odell is sure to be deemed subversive and disrespectful by traditionalists and Rolls-Royce loyalists, both hood ornaments effectively telegraph the same message: "Get out of the way, peons, the landed gentry wish to pass."
