There's some cruel irony tied to Cam Newton's wardrobe malfunction revealed on "Sunday Night Football."

Three years ago, Newton, known as a snappy dresser, signed a big apparel deal with Charlotte-based Belk Stores. The MADE Cam Newton clothing line is available at more than 130 Belk stores as well as the retailer's online site.

STEELE: What's really going on in Carolina?

Monday morning, a check of Belk online shows a nice Cam Newton brand tie in a solid blue color. Regularly priced at $50, the tie is on sale for $20.

All he had to do was ask, right?

The Seahawks crushed the Panthers on Sunday, but the game itself took a back seat to Newton's benching on the first series of the game after he didn't wear a tie on the team flight to Seattle, breaking the team's dress code.
