As a Canadian, we all grew up watching Don Cherry on "Hockey Night in Canada." He is a proud Canadian with a no-holds-barred take on the "Coach's Corner" on CBC television. He is an AHL hockey legend, a wildly eccentric coach of the Bruins who, in my opinion, made hockey better by encouraging a more physical game play (it's not good hockey unless the gloves come off). Don Cherry was even named the 7th most important Canadian in CBC's 2010 "Greatest Canadian." With all this being said, the one thing Don Cherry is most known for are his suits, his amazing suits! Both physically and personality-wise, Cherry has no problem showing off his more flamboyant side, and I could not be more impressed by his taste. Here are my 25 favorite suits that Don Cherry has worn.

Don Cherry is a known figure in the hockey realm; he should also be known for his outstanding taste in menswear. Here's to you, Grapes! If you do not pay attention to hockey, I highly recommend it. Perhaps Cherry can help keep your attention with his bright jackets -- maybe that's the reason why he always wears such eye-catching patterns and colors.I am looking forward to what he has in store for us in the coming hockey season. The Canucks are not competing for the Stanley Cup, so I have stopped watching for now. However, I am sticking to my Canadian pride and rooting for Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins this year. If anyone deserves the W, it's Canada's sweetheart.
