Cam Newton's Bold Fashion Choice Dominates The Night (But He Loses The Game)
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton made a bold fashion statement off the field Thursday, but fizzled during the game ― a 20-14 home defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The athlete is known for his envelope-pushing tastes and passion for couture, but wearing a headscarf ― what many observers called a “babushka” ― didn’t win over fans.
Check out a few clips of Newton rocking his look before and after the game, and then reactions on Twitter:

Cam Newton has graduated from wearing a towel like a tallit to rocking a scarf like a Babushka. Style icon, I guess. #TBvsCAR pic.twitter.com/3sd4rrEMVh

Cam Newton is proof that if you start dressing like a babushka you’ll also start playing like a babushka.

Hey @DeionSanders, you always told me that a QB’s post game attire shows whether they came to stadium knowing they were going to win that night. pic.twitter.com/iThBJumSAA
