Besides dabbing on his opponents and his superior football skills, Cam Newton’s sense of style is definitely something to talk about. And when he stepped off a plane Monday, Newton’s pants got everyone’s attention.

During Monday’s Super Bowl Media Day, Deion Sanders had one question for Newton: “What was going on with the Versace drawers you had on?”

Drawers? More like fancy pants. Fancy pants that cost around $800.

“It’s Super Bowl 50,” Newton said. “The mantra of the colors are black and gold. The black-and-gold attire that I had in my closet was extremely limited. So I looked at my pants and I said, these are black and gold and these shoes are black and gold to tie along with the whole Super Bowl 50 black and gold.”

I just hope I don’t see anyone else trying to wear these pants. If your name isn’t Cam Newton, please don’t roll up into the club on Saturday and into Sunday church service in your black-and-gold Versace pants.
