From bow ties to fox tails, a guide to Cam Newton's wardrobe
Cam Newton‘s strong play at quarterback is a major reason why the Panthers went 15–1 in the regular season and have secured home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Newton has earned attention for more than his skills though, with his exuberant celebrations and aggressive fashion sense also grabbing headlines.
As Carolina prepares to take the field against the Seahawks on Sunday, Extra Mustard is taking a look back on Cam Newton’s transformation into the Russell Westbrook of the NFL.
Newton got his NFL career started at the 2011 draft in a well–tailored, but unremarkable tan suit. It wasn't really until the last two seasons that Newton began to step his fashion game up.

For the biggest game of the season, Newton brought out some of his signature sparkly shoes to compliment a black, silver and gray camouflage blazer. To help him get in the zone, he listened to music on custom Super Bowl 50 headphones.
While Cam is definitely stylish, his outfits are a lot like his dazzling play in that it would not be wise to try anything Newton does yourself.
