”Hey, look, I`m Michael Jordan,” quipped CBS sports broadcaster Greg Gumbel, slipping into a Hugo Boss sport jacket with exaggerated shoulders.

Gumbel, along with ”NFL Today” co-host Terry Bradshaw, visited Chicago Friday for a shopping spree at Bigsby & Kruthers` flagship store at 1750 N. Clark St. Their game plan: Pick out a clothes to wear on-camera this fall.

Bradshaw, who enjoys shopping about as much as having a wisdom tooth pulled, wasted no time in picking out his wardrobe. We clocked him at six sport jackets in 15 minutes.

”What color is this?” was Bradshaw`s only question as he pulled jackets on and off his size 46-long frame. ”I`m color blind,” he explained. Gumbel, much more of a clotheshorse, stayed for about two hours.

”This is too tight,” Gumbel said, rejecting one Zegna suit that didn`t provide room for the microphone battery backs he totes when on-camera. ”This is too heavy,” he said.

A peek inside their shopping bags revealed: Gumbel with a grey-and-black boucle Zegna Soft sport jacket, a single-breasted light gray tick weave Valentino suit and a JA II cobalt and black mini-check suit. For Bradshaw: a blue-and-gold wool Zegna sport coat, a black double-breasted JA II sport jacket, a wheat-and-olive check JA II sport jacket and a Calvin Klein carmel- and-navy mini check sport jacket.
