Jason Kelce opted for a more laidback look compared to his Monday Night Countdown colleagues for Week 2 of the NFL season.
The Eagles legend turned heads with his outfit for his Philadelphia homecoming Monday night.
While Scott Van Pelt, Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears all donned smart suits for the Eagles game against the Atlanta Falcons at Lincoln Field, Kelce sported a South Philly tuxedo.
In tribute to his beloved Eagles, the former center was dressed head to toe in Kelly Green, sporting the vibrant velour tracksuit top and pants, which bizarrely featured an Italy crest on.
It was Kelce’s second look of the evening after he wore an equally casual and Philadelphia-themed outfit to join in the tailgate festivities.

He was seen strolling through the parking lot at the Linc for the second Monday Night Countdown assignment of his career in an Eagles t-shirt and shorts.
Not only was Kelce be on-site for ‘Countdown’, but it was revealed earlier in the day that he’d be in the booth as well.
That was revealed by ESPN NFL analyst Troy Aikman – who announced that Kelce would be joining himself and play-by-play man Joe Buck in the booth for the third quarter.
‘Oh man, this is gonna be fun tonight!!,’ Kelce tweeted out before joking: ‘I will remain 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 dropped the word ‘t*ts’ in his first few sentences in describing his physique.
Last Monday, in Kelce’s first on-air appearance, he was introduced by host Scott Van Pelt, who revealed Kelce had to buy a shirt at the mall for his appearance on television after misplacing his travel bag.
‘It fits my belly now I’ve lost a little bit of weight but my t**s are still struggling,’ Kelce said.
He received a little bit of flack for that on social media – with some surprised by his crass comment.

‘Yea he has to get it together,’ said one fan on X, seemingly in response to Kelce’s start.
Another said: ‘That’s not bad. He should be more careful next time.’
Meanwhile, his brother Travis was enjoying his debut – saying that he and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, were ‘dying laughing’ watching him on the airwaves .
Most of the public were laughing as well – with Kelce’s on-air debut deemed an overall success.
It was also viewed as a much better debut than Tom Brady’s , but it’s hard to truly compare the two seeing as their roles are very different.
