Give Russ Wilson All The Fashion Awards For His Fight Attire (Just Kidding He Dressed Like An Idiot)
The best dressed person at the Mayweather-McGregor fight in Vegas this weekend was Russ Wilson and it wasn’t even close. Just kidding, he dressed like a fucking moron. An extra from The Wire indeed. He looks like when Leander Sydnor tries to go undercover for the first time before Bubbs shows him how to act. Do we have to come at the durag tho?
Yes. The answer is yes. If he’s still rocking the durag and fitted look, his waves better come out looking immaculate.
He’s an oversized Zach Thomas jersey away from looking like he should be in a Dipset video from 2004.
I get the blacked out militant look he’s going for, but that gets contradicted a little bit when you’re wearing sponsored gear from the multi-billion dollar conglomerate of corporations under which you work.
But the worst transgression? Even worse than the double West Coast (or is it Wisconsin?) hands? This jersey.
This stupid fucking jersey. Yup, you saw that right.
He’s rocking memorabilia from his own Super Bowl that he played in. Wearing his own jersey, as if he has to remind people about the time he didn’t fuck up in the biggest game of the season.
Sure, I’m all for celebrating one’s own accomplishments. But with a memorabilia jersey? At the biggest see-and-be-seen fight of the century? If only there was a more blinged-out keepsake from the biggest win in Wilson’s career…
Oh, right! Teams who win Super Bowls get Super Bowl Rings! Let’s check the digits for diamonds.
NOPE! Only his shitty promise ring to Ciara. Damnit Russ, you are doing this whole being-a-famous-Super-Bowl-winning-quarterback thing all wrong.
He’s doing amazing work against cancer, however, and for that we applaud him, even if he is dressed like he’s ready to clap back.
