VIDEO: Cam Newton calls out girl for wearing a Julio Jones Bama jersey, asks her to change
Written by Staff Ace Bloggie, Football, Sports Jun 4, 2013

Yes, Cam Newton loves the sinner. But he will ask them to change clothes.

At a recent Cam Newton Foundation 7-on-7 skills challenge held at an Atlanta high school, Newton jokingly threatened to escort from the premises a student who was wearing a Julio Jones jersey if she did not either change, or at least cover up with a Team Cam shirt. After all, as the dude with the mic said, “This is War Eagle Country.”

“At a 7-on-7 football tournament at my daughter’s high school, Cam Newton asks her to take off or cover her Bama Julio Jones jersey,” YouTube user Jim Cooper posted along with a video of the exchange. “He gives her an all-star “Team Cam” shirt to cover and a hug.”



This isn’t the first time the Blessed Individual has taken umbrage with the fashion sense of someone in an audience he’s addressing. Last year, he called out and possibly converted a student who was wearing a Bama jersey at at Wright’s Mill Road Elementary assembly.

Cam Newton, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, was at the Belk store at SouthPark mall this weekend for an appearance promoting his new clothing line, Made.

No need to dwell on the start of training camp next month and other NFL matters with Cam Newton. Those topics could require research and since you are reading this at no charge, you are getting what you paid for.

Instead, fashion, (Paul) Finebaum and life on campus topped the list of topics I discussed with Newton over the weekend. The Carolina Panthers quarterback met reporters for brief one-on-one interviews at the SouthPark Belk store as part of an appearance kicking off his fashion line at the Charlotte-based department store.

Newton, the offensive rookie of the year in 2011, is approaching his third season as a pro. In 2010, he won the Heisman Trophy at Auburn University and led the school to the national championship.

On Saturday afternoon, Newton, wearing a sportcoat and pants from his clothing line, sat in a fourth-floor green room with a few Belk staffers, a public-relations rep or two and a smile on his face. You want to hear what Newton had to say about the Panthers? Hang on a minute. You’re dealing with a professional here.

Newton faced a reporter who knows nothing about fashion, a fact he gleaned the moment he glanced in my direction. We do share one thing, though: Both of us attended Southesatern Conference schools. Thus, Newton was greeted with this LSU grad’s lament over a 49-yard, third-quarter scrambling TD by the then-Auburn quarterback in 2010, a jaunt that dazzled a national audience watching on CBS as Newton outran LSU’s best player, Patrick Peterson.

“It’s all right,” Newton said upon hearing of lingering frustration over a touchdown he scored three years ago. “I’ve heard worse.”

What he’s heard from Belk to date has been encouraging. His clothing line, known as Made, debuted in April in 133 Belk stores and on the company website.

Suits sell for $500, with separates priced between $80 to $240 and ties going for $50 each. Sportswear includes T-shirts ($28 to $32), polos ($40 to $45), shorts ($50) and pants ($60).

Newton weighs in on what looks he likes, patterns and the overall look of the collection. He never fails to mention childhood trips to Belk with his mom, who sometimes scolded him for playing in the clothing racks. And he is savvy enough to mention his Atlanta roots often, a nice tie-in to the department store chain’s modern, Southern style tag-line.

A self-described preppy, the Panthers quarterback is starting to hear it from teammates.

“I’ve been getting a lot of grief from the locker room,” he said, before sharpening a needle of his own. “Everybody can't wear a lot of things ... I’ve been getting a lot of comparisons to (Oklahoma City Thunder guard) Russell Westbrook.”

Comparisons to an NBA player, in this case, delight Newton.

“I must commend the NBA, though, their fashion is top-notch. They have this little app or something where you can start posting pictures of fashion and style at press conferences. I think the NBA has taken the fashion thing to the next level. It’s kind of like a marketing thing that’s unspoken.”

Carolina selected Newton with the first pick in the draft in 2011. As a rookie, he helped the Panthers improve to 6-10 after a 2-14 mark the year before. Last season, Carolina went 7-9.

Now he wants to post a winning record and reach the playoffs for the first time. As for the major off-season story, whether the franchise would stay in Charlotte, Newton said the negotiations between Panthers owner Jerry Richardson and local leaders were a minor concern for players.

“Anything regarding the (business side of the) franchise, I don't get involved. I feel as if Mr. Richardson is the best at what he does ... Everybody does a great job of informing us of what's going on, so if something blew up in the media, we don’t too much care about it. At the same time, when you’re talking about the team moving — it was said everything would be all right and when (Richardson) told us that (we knew it would be).”

Richardson, of course, became an NFL owner after earning his personal fortune through fast-food franchises and, later, in larger restaurant and food-service companies. Newton hasn’t tapped the Panthers owner or another powerful sports-business local, Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan, for endorsement and business advice yet.

Richardson and Jordan are people he considers mentors, but Newton said he must be careful not to let anything distract from his main job as an NFL quarterback.

Or, as he put it, “I have bigger fish in my tank that I have to focus on. Obviously, anything I put my name on, I want to succeed at it. We all know that I’m a football player (first).”

Giving Charlotte and the Carolinas some sports memories tops his list of priorities. The man who declared himself an entertainer and icon before taking an NFL snap has settled in in Charlotte and said it feels like home.

Along with genuine surprise, there may have been a hint of discomfort when an amiable enough Saturday chat was interrupted by mention of a ghost from college football Saturdays past: Alabama radio talk-show host Paul Finebaum. The famous and infamous Finebaum is moving to Charlotte later this year to launch a new version of his show from ESPN’s Ballantyne studios.

Newton arched his eyebrows at the news, smiled and said of sharing a city with Finebaum, “I didn’t know that, but I’m very familiar with him.” And what do you think of Finebaum as a neighbor? Smile. “He’s just good at what he does.”

Auburn and the SEC have been on Newton’s mind of late even before learning of Finebaum’s imminent arrival.

After the 2012 season, Newton returned to Auburn and enrolled in classes. He has 15 hours left to complete his degree and hopes to finish with one more semester of work, likely during the 2014 off-season.

An NFL quarterback with endorsements including Gatorade, Under Armour and Microsoft would seem unlikely to need a degree to secure his financial future. That return becomes more surprising given the campus misadventures Newton caused or endured, depending on perspective.

An infamous laptop theft at the University of Florida helped push him to a junior college in Texas before landing at Auburn, where his lone season included the highs of a perfect record on the field and the lows of a lengthy pay-to-play investigation by the NCAA.

“A lot of scratching heads and curiosity comes when you’re going back to school,” he said. “I promised my mom I would get my degree. As well as the big picture: a degree takes you further than a football career.”

Someone lacking the sense to avoid possibly angering a 250-pound, 6'6" pro-football player responded, “Even if it’s not a degree from LSU.”

The former Heisman Trophy winner laughed and opted for diplomacy. For a moment.

“We do have something in common: we both have Tigers as a mascot,” Newton said.

The same idiot from the bayou responded that Auburn actually has three mascots, prompting a swift clarification.

“We have two,” Newton said. “Plainsmen is kind of the area for us (not a mascot). You’ve got War Eagle, that’s our chant. And then Tigers. (The War Eagle chant is) because you dont want everybody to be saying, ‘Go Tigers!’”

Someone with thinner skin might perceive this last as a shot at a certain Southeastern Conference rival known for its Cajun-inspired “Geaux Tigers” cheer. But a man with his own clothing line, fame, fortune and all the rest would never resort to such tactics.

Then again, this is SEC football we’re talking about.

So it won’t surprise you to learn Newton had an addendum to the pitfalls of yelling go, or geaux, Tigers.

“Where I’m from, we spell ‘go’ as in ‘g-o.’ You have some issues (with multiple mascots). I’ve got some spelling and grammar issues with you guys.”

And he’s the one who’s got it Made.
