Former USC Great Shows Off His Nike Whack Suit

As usual, Paul Lukas at UNI WATCH BLOG scares up a great pic this morning. Today’s he’s got autograph-charging Anthony Davis on the sideline of the USC-Washington game last week:

Anthony Davis Nike Suit

T. J. Simers of the LOS ANGELES TIMES described the look in a recent column, in which he also spanked Davis for charging for autographs before the game.

In the piece, Simers reported that Davis said the cash he collected went to the education of children via his “foundation”. Close inspection found that claim to be rather dubious.

    With Tiger Woods on the shelf, somebody had to represent the Big Swoosh.

    Imagine O.J. Simpson in one of those Nike suits? That would be killer.

    The only suit O.J.'s going to be wearing is of the orange jump variety, with "Nevada Dept. of Corrections" stenciled in on the back.

    You would think Nike would show off this suit during a game people actually watched, instead of USC-Washington.

    I'm always disappointed when there's a USC story but no pics of the Song Girls.

    Yes, keep him in the end zone away from the sidelines.

    If Davis is going to wear a suit like that, he might as well have the swoosh tattooed on his forehead, too.

    It's hard to tell which Nike clothing is more hideous - Davis' suit, or Oregon's new baseball uniforms.

    Ok, this is just too silly.

    Good thing Anthony Davis didn't go to Oregon. Otherwise Nike would have made him wear a green & yellow suit with black & white checkerboard patterns on the shoulders and duck tail feathers poking out of his butt.

    Anthony Davis, Just Do It - for the money.

    I think 'whack' is an accurate description.
