Philadelphia Eagles' Jason Kelce, renowned for his prowess on the football field, has become a symbol of unpretentious game-day style, as highlighted in a recent TikTok posted by the team, People Magazine reported. 

Unlike his fashion-forward brother, Travis Kelce, Jason's game-day attire embraces casual comfort, often featuring flip-flops and a T-shirt.

In the TikTok video, the 36-year-old football centre dismisses the notion of elaborate game-day outfits, expressing, "What the f*** do I care about a game-day 'fit." 

Decked in sweatpants, a sweatshirt, and flip-flops, he asserts: "Some people go to play football and some people go to play dress-up, OK? I don't like to play dress-up. I like to play football, alright?"

Sources close to the Kelce family highlight the brothers' stark differences, describing them as "complete opposites in every facet, personality, style, clothing, physically." Despite these distinctions, they share similar values rooted in their love for football and family.

Following the TikTok post, news broke that Jason Kelce played his final game on Monday night, announcing his retirement to teammates after the Eagles' loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a wildcard playoff game.

Although he declined media interviews in the locker room, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni openly expressed his admiration for Kelce, stating: "I love him. He's special and I love him. He's one of the most special guys I've been around. He's always got a place here."

Emotionally watching the game from the sidelines, Jason Kelce's retirement marks the end of a remarkable 13-season career spent entirely with the Philadelphia Eagles. 

The football star's preference for comfort over sartorial splendor has left an indelible mark, celebrating authenticity in the world of sports fashion.
