Joe Burrow gets unnecessarily trolled for his bold fashion statements after Bengals’ 0-3 start to the season
Joe Burrow received immense criticism for his fashion choice after the Cincinnati Bengals lost their third straight game of 2024.

Ever since Joe Burrow opened up his fondness for the latest fashion, he began experimenting with his drips. In almost every game he shows up wearing something unique which fans never witnessed or even dream of associating him with.
It was more of the same on Monday Night prime-time kick-off as the Bengals hosted the Washington Commanders. Fans showed increased interest in the game because it was a showdown between two former LSU quarterbacks and Heisman Trophy winners.
The anticipation took a different turn after Burrow arrived wearing a stylish outfit with a cream-colored vest atop a light pink t-shirt. He topped the look off with various accessories on his wrist, cream-colored cargo pants, and pink sneakers.
This ticked off a section of social media that claimed the $275 million man focuses more on what to wear than winning games because the Bengals started the season with two consecutive losses to the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs. The 27-year-old’s sexuality was called into question as well.

Joe Burrow is still an elite quarterback
It’s impossible to keep the troll army down. They will always find ways to make fun of someone without a shred of empathy. Yet, even they have to agree that Joe Burrow was and is an elite quarterback regardless of his clothing preferences.

The Pro Bowler walked into the game and dropped 324 passing yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions even though the Bengals ended up losing the fixture 38-33. Fans saw that Burrow is still capable of balling out.
However, a quarterback has no say in matters of defense so if they fail to stop the other team from scoring, fans can not just zone in on one player. Some sensible students of the game highlighted the same.
This is getting a crazy amount of hate for a QB1 who can also back up dance for *NSYNC at the drop of a hat, battle the free world, and make it to his next class at the Parsons School of Designs https://t.co/ZejLi88Gf2

No reason to lose a game when Joe burrow plays almost perfectly like this. 325 yards 3 td. Literally one stop was all they had to get. Just one stop

Only two quarterbacks have thrown for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in a game this year and they'll be facing each other in Week 4.

Joe Burrow threw for 324 yards with 3 touchdowns and no turnovers at home and put up 33 points but the timeline will get their jokes off at him tonight because the Bengals defense is pathetic. Shameful.

In Burrow’s words, he has always been a shy kid. He never viewed himself walking on the ramp of a fashion show let alone in Paris for Vogue in June.
He turned heads for wearing a backless tux while walking alongside former LSU teammate Justin Jefferson. In a recent interview with Rich Eisen, Burrow revealed the secrets behind his unique dress.
They gave me the choice to wear a shirt under it or no shirt under it. I thought no shirt under it looked better than the shirt under it, and they agreed, so we went with that.Joe Burrow said
He is a firm believer that it will not be long before athletes embrace the crossover of fashion and sports.
