Yesterday’s 5pm Quiz asked you to simply name all 30 NHL teams. Today’s is a little different. 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?

  1. Woo hoo! My first 100%, and I’m not even Canadian!

    I had a few moments of doubt with a couple of later ones (the one with the blue hair and #7), but I got ‘em! :)

  6. Awww, and I thought this quiz was going to about the spectacular wardrobe of the late Jazz trumpeter Don Cherry. My mistake.

  7. First time 100% too! My favourite is the Joker (circa 1968) on #9. Yeah I’m old…

  8. The answers are wrong! The correct answer is CLOWN for all 9!! Don Cherry is a clown, so CLOWN is the correct answer.
