    Yes, i called him Johnny the whole time!

    But im pretty sure it was intentional to have him look like that as his personality is very Fear and Loathing.

    I agree with Arya. I think it's an intentional Fear & Loathing reference.

    Yep, it's intentional:

    "Shade's appearance is based on sports writer and author Hunter S. Thompson, whose iconic look, most notably from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," is comprised of a floral Hawaiian-style shirt, Khaki shorts, a fisherman's hat, aviator sun-glasses and a cigarette holder (replaced with a bottle rocket)."
