The style advisor for Internet sports writer Corbin Smith has badly and irrevocably lost his/her way. The worst, distracting, hilarious, poor-fitting scorchingly RED blazer paired with the totally unmatched tie he wore on the Seahawks pre-game show is beyond redemption. Fox 13 Sports Director Aaron Levine, always dressed professionally, has to shade his eyes for this co-hosts outfit, not to mention the mutton chops. Stick with the web, Corbin, although I hear he has discontinued that work path. People will write me and say he has the right to wear what he wants. It is NOT a right. It is a matter of common sense, viewer taste and on-air credibility. He's not Steve Harvey.
Corbin's outfit is certainly different than what we are used to seeing on local television. It might work in a television market that is more, for lack of better terms, flashy and in-your-face (Miami being a prime example). But that is not what the Seattle market is. It might also work if the Seahawks' team color was bright red. But it isn't. In the end, his outfit was a big distraction from the content that was being presented on the program.
