Jason Kelce dons ‘South Philly tuxedo’ for hilarious NFL ‘Monday Night Countdown’ introduction
Jason Kelce may be done playing football, but he’s still showing love for the Philadelphia Eagles.
On Monday night, the retired NFL pro, 36, filmed an introduction for “Monday Night Countdown,” poking fun at his fashion faux pas from last week when he had to buy a last-minute outfit ahead of his new hosting gig.
In the clip, Kelce is seen attempting to get into the Eagles locker room, only to be greeted by the team’s chief security officer, Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro, who reminds him that he no longer works there.
However, when the former center complains that he has nothing to wear other than his current muscle tee, DiSandro presents him with a bright green tracksuit, quickly solving the outfit dilemma.

“A South Philly tuxedo? This is perfect,” Kelce proclaims, high-fiving his pal before shouting excitedly as he walks off.
“Yeah, Dom! Let’s go baby!”
While the interaction was part of a skit, that didn’t keep Kelce from wearing the jacket, which features an “Italia” crest on the chest, and the matching pants prior to the Eagles facing off against the Atlanta Falcons.
He even took to the stage, showing off the colorful combo as he danced to music, which prompted Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate, Patrick Mahomes, to comment on his moves.
“😂😂😂😂😂 go crazy then!! @JasonKelce,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Last week, the father of three made headlines after his debut on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown,” when he admitted to having to buy a shirt at lululemon after forgetting his clothes.
“It fits my belly now; I’ve lost a little bit of weight, but my tits are still struggling,” he joked, pointing out the gaping buttons on the white button up shirt.

Travis couldn’t help but , taking to ESPN’s Instagram comments section to share his thoughts on the look.
“Surprised he even bought a new one, and didn’t just go shirtless,” he joked.
Still, Jason’s outfit wasn’t the only one that was recently roasted.

On the “New Heights” podcast, the elder Kelce also poked fun at the all-Gucci look Travis wore to the US Open, which the tight end attended with his girlfriend, singer Taylor Swift.
“You went country club,” Jason noted of the look, which included a cardigan, polo and a bucket hat from the brand.
“It was tennis. What do you want me to do?” Travis responded, defending his preppy ensemble.
Can’t wait for next week’s outfit, Jason!
