Yes, of course, a priest can be out of line, as can any other human being. My comment meant that nothing a priest says can be correct in the minds of some people.
A priest should always remember that his opinions carry more weight with some people than the average John Doe. Since a priest does not compete in the competitive sports field, he should have no legitimate opinion as to the attire involved. He should CERTAINLY NOT be accorded the victimization excuse such as “nothing a priest says can be correct in the minds of some people.” That fabricated “excuse” throws the fault on the opinion of others who are qualified to comment, not on the priest where it legitimately belongs.
