Cam Newton is no stranger to some light-hearted criticism of his outfits. After instances of wearing a fox tail belt accessory to wearing skin tight WWE-style Versace pants, to now wearing Smokey the Bear’s hat, at this point, we’re not sure he knows how to dress.
last night the Super Bowl QB sat court-side at LeBron James and Kobe Bryant’s final meeting in Los Angeles, a perfect spot for his hat to be in visibility at all times; and we’re guessing the court wasn’t seen by whomever was sitting behind him.
Social media, as expected, went off on the choice of hat, comparing it to Pharrell’s signature hat, Smokey the Bear, and more. The most accurate of the bunch? Without a doubt the Arby’s logo.
Here are some other comparisons, including Pharrell that the hilarious as always internet came up with:

Oh yeah, and in case you were wondering, Cam Newton’s hat has it’s own Twitter account now. What a time to be alive.
