Jason Kelce opted for a more laid-back look compared to his Monday Night Countdown colleagues for Week 2 of the NFL season.
The Eagles legend turned heads with his homecoming attire in Philadelphia on Monday night.
While Scott Van Pelt, Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears all wore sharp suits for the Eagles’ game against the Atlanta Falcons at Lincoln Field, Kelce sported a South Philly tux.
In tribute to his beloved Eagles, the former centre was dressed head to toe in Kelly green, sporting a vibrant velour tracksuit top and pants, which interestingly featured the Italy crest.
It was Kelce’s second look of the night after he wore an equally casual, Philadelphia-themed outfit to join in the tailgate festivities.
Jason Kelce opted for a very relaxed outfit for his second week as an ESPN analyst
The Eagles legend turned heads in a kelly green velour tracksuit before Monday’s game.
He was seen strolling around the Linc parking lot for his second career Monday Night Countdown assignment in an Eagles T-shirt and shorts.
Not only was Kelce present at the ‘Countdown’ event, but it was also revealed earlier in the day that he would be in the booth.
That’s according to ESPN NFL analyst Troy Aikman, who announced that Kelce would join him and commentator Joe Buck in the booth during the third quarter.
‘Oh man this is gonna be fun tonight!’ Kelce tweeted before joking, ‘I’ll be as unbiased as possible… Go Birds!’
The decision to give Kelce more responsibility comes a week after his Monday Night Football debut with the network, where he used the word “t*ts” in his first sentences when describing his physique.
Last Monday, in Kelce’s first on-air appearance, he was introduced by host Scott Van Pelt, who revealed that Kelce had to buy a shirt at the mall for his TV appearance after losing his overnight bag.
“It fits my belly, I’ve lost a little weight now, but my boobs are still hurting,” Kelce said.
She received some criticism for that on social media, with some being shocked by her rude comment.
Kelce was previously seen wandering around a Philadelphia tailgate wearing an Eagles jersey.
The retired center had to buy a jersey at the mall for his debut television appearance.
“Yeah, he needs to get healthy,” one fan said on X, seemingly in response to Kelce’s start.
Another said: “Not bad. I should be more careful next time.”
Meanwhile, his brother Travis was enjoying his debut, saying he and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, were “dying with laughter” watching it play out on the airwaves.
Most of the audience laughed, too: Kelce’s on-air debut was considered an overall success.
It was also seen as a much better debut than Tom Brady’s, but it’s hard to really compare the two since their roles are so different.
