Jason Whitlock sports denim jacket on Keith Olbermann

Jason Whitlock’s first assignment since signing on with ESPN was to serve as a guest on Keith Olbermann’s new ESPN2 talk show. The two discussed the media’s treatment of the New York Jets, and they ventured into a discussion about the significance of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a Dream” speech to the sports world.

But Whitlock captured more attention for what he was wearing than anything he was saying. He had on what appeared to be a denim jacket that had a matching beige collar and elbow pads. And if the jacket wasn’t enough of a statement to tell you that Whitlock is bringing back old school fashion, his small hoop earring certainly was.

Come on, Whitlock, don’t you know that taking fashion tips from Michael Jordan is always a bad idea?

Get basketball tips from MJ, Whitlock, not fashion tips.
