Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Don Cherry is a former NHL player and coach and is now a respected broadcaster, with stints on Hockey Night in Canada and ESPN’s Stanley Cup coverage. But he’s perhaps best known for his unusual style choices. And “unusual” is a pretty big understatement. We’ve found nine outfits that wouldn’t cut it on the red carpet. Some were worn by Cherry in public, others are clown costumes. Can you distinguish the wardrobes?
I guessed on every question, but I still managed a 100%…those outfits are truly, awesomely, hideous!

I’m pretty awesome. I got a 100%, and I’ve never seen the guy before. But I loved me some Bozo as a kid.

I have no idea who Don Cherry is . . . but I still got 100%

You can always tell Don from an impostor by his incredibly large collars

Don Cherry is amazing. Hopefully hockey can make a comeback. You will certainly see more of Mr. Cherry’s wardrobe then.
Move over Liberacci!!!

Sorry, but I need to disagree: Don Cherry is NOT necessarily respected–at least in this household. ;)

Don Cherry was recently voted one of the top 10 most important Canadians of all time. His outfits are pretty easy to spot though. Nobody else has collars like him, and the thumbs up usually gives it away. 100%!!

Also 100% and not only don’t I know who Don Cherry is (or have ever seen him), I hate clowns. They totally freak me out…
