The Worst Athlete Style Fails of the Week

Athletes have never cared more about style. The NBA dress code and social media peacocking have revolutionized the way our favorite sports stars dress themselves, and gone are the days of garbage-bag suits, pinstripes everywhere, and this thing. That said, not everyone's caught up to the times, which is why each week, we'll be highlighting the poor souls who are still running the proverbial triple option of sartorial playbooks.

This week: Some young QBs have more to learn than just route packages, LeBron's Cavs are trailing LeBron's Heat in more than just wins, and more. These are The Worst Athlete Style Fails of the Week.

Bro, you're not in college anymore. You don't have to wear everything everyone gives you.

Opinions differ on what level of notoriety qualifies you to be able to wear a giant gold chain with your own initials on it. Most experts, however, say the minimum is “higher than being Grievis Vasquez.”

You know your athletic gear is on point when it makes the world's best athletes look like frumpy space cowboys. No word, though, on why Kyrie's is so long it looks like Liberace designed a Mao jacket.

Wade's digs lately have constantly skirted the line between courageous swag and even ESPN recognizing a brick, and this combo just misses. Moto zips with a shirt and tie is probably taking the menswear mullet thing a step too far.

Ha, we get it, you're referencing yourself. As if the Cult of Ditka wasn't tiresome enough, 30 years after the one-ring dynasty and all the SNL skits and years of Coach making an ass out of himself in the pundits' booth – now you decide to get meta with it? Never thought we'd say this, but T-Swift did it better.

Nothing screams “middle management from Cincinnati” like Andy Dalton—both on and off the field, come to think of it.

You're in Portland someplace that's not Miami. You can't dress like this.

In every reasonably priced restaurant in the world, there's a guy on a date wearing this exact outfit.

Shirt-jackets are trending…but not this hybrid of a bro's going-out button-down and a used car salesman's blazer. See, Andy's used to dressing with old Cleveland LeBron—he needs the post-Miami edition to go hard in the makeover on this, fast.

Marion, on the other hand, is a recalcitrant NBA old-schooler, which means way too big, way too colorful, and way, way too many buttons. As a Mavericks fan, I can attest: don't bother trying, just let him do his thing.
