5 athletes that would definitely wear a men’s romper
By John Buhler
The men’s romper is the greatest/worst thing to happen to fashion since the man bun. Here are five modern athletes that would definitely wear one.
The men’s romper might be a thing now. Males in the 20s across America are definitely embracing female clothing more than they ever have. They made man buns a thing because ponytails are so ’90s. Excessive thigh exposure and the need to wear onesie like clothing has never been more important to millennials.
Few people embrace ridiculous fads quite like professional athletes. Does doing so help their brand? You better believe it does! The only way that the men’s romper will effectively transition into the men’s fashion world across this great country of ours is if a handful of professional male athletes endorse the inconvenient clothing trend that is sweeping the nation like hot takes.
Maybe a bro romper is exactly what Tiger Woods needs to win another golf major? Think of the lumbar support he could theoretically get from said romper. Perhaps the dude romper is exactly what Colin Kaepernick needs to revitalize his NFL career? Then again, taking a knee in a romper probably isn’t happening because of science.
While Kaepernick and Woods may not rock a men’s romper, you know that these five modern athletes will be rocking one this summer during the offseason. Or at least, we can only that they would. Let’s Go!
J.J. Watt
Defensive End, Houston Texans
J.J. Watt may have been hurt for most of the 2016 season, but he’s coming back with a vengeance for 2017. Not only will the Texans’ star be healthy, he will also be more stylish.
Technically, nose tackle Vince Wilfork has worn a romper longer than any man alive. The problem is that he might be retiring and that said romper must be made entirely out of denim for him to wear one. Could you really blame him?
Watt is basically the James Corden of the NFL, as in he is the most likely player in the league to host Carpool Karaoke or host a late-night television show wearing a men’s romper. When Watt catches his first touchdown pass of the season from Tom Savage Garden in September, Watt will all makes us watch him Nene (no, not grab Dewayne Dedmon’s throat) in the best red, white and blue Texans romper Houston will have ever seen.
The Ghost of Bum Phillips hanging out next door at the Astrodome will absolutely hate that Houston’s brightest football star will be wearing a romper. However, it will be tremendous for Watt’s ailing back. You can’t powerlift school buses or whatever the Watt Clan likes to throw up in home private workouts. All you do in a men’s romper is dance in the end zone. Watt could do that for sure.
