When it comes to fashion, there are a few rules: Never wear white after labor day, don’t contrast too many colors, and don’t wear double denim. Granted, there are a few NBA players who skirt these rules and do it with style (Russell Westbrook, we’re looking at you), and there are players who are better off going to Brooks Brothers.
Dwight Howard fits into the latter category, as thanks to the Charlotte Hornets PR team, we got a sneak peek at whatever Dwight decided to wear before Wednesday’s game in Detroit. At first glance it looks like Dwight is embracing his country roots with some double denim that looks straight out of a bad 1980s music video or a cheesy B-movie.

On the other hand, Dwight’s sartorial choices might remind some of the early 2000s and the popular music group known as The Diplomats. The group would wear things that would be considered ostentatious in their time, but in 2017 have long since been accepted. If Howard was going for ostentatious and bold, this choice of fashion leaves a little bit to be desired.
Howard is currently on his fourth team in as many years and is looking to make a good first impression with Wednesday’s game against the Pistons. Hopefully for Howard, his game shows out better than his fashion choices.
