Bill Belichick has practically trademarked the cut-off hoodie. It’s a staple of his wardrobe, which doesn’t feature much variety at all.

But on Monday at Opening Night, Belichick left his sweatshirt at home – or maybe the team hotel – and traded it in for a suit.

For any other coach, this wouldn’t be a big deal. For Belichick, it’s huge. He was one of the only people from either team who dressed up as much as he did. All of the players wore the Super Bowl-themed sweatshirts, while Falcons coach Dan Quinn sported a polo.

Here’s what Belichick usually looks like on a weekly basis.

As you can see, it’s quite the change, and it looked somewhat bizarre, to be honest. The Internet, unsurprisingly, was just as stunned as everyone else by Belichick’s attire.
