The hoodie and blazer combo has become known as ‘The Whitworth.’
Two-time All-Pro and Super Bowl 56 champion Andrew Whitworth wears his signature look as an analyst for Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football. But he didn’t rock the outfit to Radio Row at Super Bowl 58 on Tuesday. Instead, he wore a plain black T-shirt, dark blue jeans and white sneakers.
Whitworth sat down with For The Win’s Christian D’Andrea, who was wearing The Whitworth, and Whitworth gave some tips on how to pull off his new gameday look.
‘I either go heavy coat with a light hoodie, or I go heavy hoodie and a light coat,’ the former Los Angeles Rams tackle said. ‘You gotta know the right mixture.’
The attention surrounding his fashion choice surprised Whitworth. He said the decision to combine the hoodie and blazer was a ‘last-second decision’ and the social media feedback has ‘been awesome.’

‘I never knew people cared that much about what you’re wearing,’ he said. ‘It’s great. I always laugh. On different social media platforms, you’ll get the feedback every week. One person hates it, one person loves it. The majority of love, always. You never knew people cared that much about what you were wearing. It’s been really fun.’
Whitworth said that he does not have any help from a stylist or tailor, and he does indeed have 200 hoodies of ‘all different textures and styles, colors, you name it.’
‘No, no, no, no no. I do my own clothes. Nobody does my clothes for me,’ he said. ‘I’m not a big, ‘You do it for me’ guy. I do it myself. Obviously, you get to lean on them. They have somebody kind of gives you their advice, is kinda in charge of those things of what on-air wants to look like, whether it be colors or styles and things that they wanna do. You obviously have somebody for that and they do a great job. But for me, this is just my closet.’
