Fashion cop gets busted
October 15, 2007Remember Merton Hanks? You know, the turkey-necked former defensive back from the San Francisco 49ers who did that "Funky Chicken Dance" after interceptions?
Well, after Hanks retired he became the head of the NFL fashion police -- specifically, the league's watchdog for uniform compliance.
Not to go all Mr. Blackwell on anyone, but I saw something yesterday that confused me.
Ironically, as the still turkey-necked Hanks walked into the New England Patriots post-game press conference -- obviously on the lookout for some fashion faux pas -- I noticed that his own jacket was on the small side. And I'm talking your little brother's Sunday suit jacket "small."
Though my girlfriend says I'm a fashion fuddy-duddy (i.e. I have a lot of blue and black suits), even I know better than that.
In all fairness though, perhaps wearing itty bitty, tight jackets is the next wave in men's fashion.
I'll never know.
