Tom Brady’s Fashion Choices Steal the Show During NFL Broadcast

Tom Brady, the newly minted NFL analyst, has been making waves with his on-air commentary. However, during Week 4 of the NFL season, the conversation shifted away from his analysis to focus on his unusual wardrobe choice. While calling the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady’s choice of a striped shirt paired with a polka-dotted tie became the subject of social media ridicule.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion, known for his polished image both on and off the field, surprised fans with his bold fashion combination. Social media users wasted no time offering their critiques, particularly given his past relationship with supermodel Gisele Bündchen, whom he was married to for 13 years before their divorce in 2022.

“Tom Brady was once married to one of the biggest supermodels in the world and is wearing a polka-dot tie with a striped shirt,” one X user quipped, pointing out the disconnect between his fashion choices and his high-profile history with Bündchen.

Another viewer was quick to offer fashion advice, writing, “Listen, Tom, never ever wear two different clashing styles. Stripes and polka dots, especially a shirt that looks like 90s pajamas. Solid colors, dude.”

Other fans jumped on the bandwagon, with one user commenting, “@TomBrady out here wearing Express button-ups from the 90s… @NFLonFOX,” while another joked, “Who picked out Tom Brady’s shirt for today? Looks like something I’d find in my dad’s closet.”

At 47 years old and in his first season as an NFL analyst, Brady is still adjusting to life in the broadcast booth. He signed a massive 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox in 2022, but his debut as a commentator was met with mixed reviews. However, by Week 4, Brady seemed to be finding his groove, showcasing more of his personality while covering games alongside lead play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt.

During Sunday’s broadcast, Brady didn’t just bring commentary but also a little bite. He took a jab at Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, who had commented on the atmosphere in Tampa since his arrival.

Mayfield, who signed a three-year, $100 million contract extension with the team in March, had remarked, “They wanted me to come in, be myself, bring the joy back to football for guys who weren’t having as much fun.”

The quote was featured during the broadcast, to which Brady cheekily responded, “I thought stressful was not having Super Bowl rings. There was a mindset of a champion that I took to work every day. This wasn’t daycare. If I wanted to have fun, I was going to go to Disneyland with my kids.” The subtle dig seemed to remind viewers of the competitive edge Brady brought to the Buccaneers during his tenure, which culminated in a Super Bowl victory in his first season with the team.

Mayfield, who led the Buccaneers to a 33-16 win over the Eagles, later clarified that his comments had been “taken out of context.” Nevertheless, Brady’s quick-witted remark added a layer of tension and humor to the broadcast.

Brady also made headlines during the broadcast for another revelation: he admitted that before signing with the Buccaneers in 2020, he had “seriously considered” joining the Chicago Bears in free agency. Ultimately, he chose Tampa Bay, where he spent the final three seasons of his illustrious career before retiring in 2023.

While Brady’s fashion choices may have drawn some laughs, his transition to the broadcasting world has allowed him to continue making an impact on the game he dominated for two decades. Whether it’s with his critiques of current players or lighthearted jabs at his own past, Brady is steadily finding his voice as an NFL analyst.

As for his fashion, well, maybe there’s room for improvement—but fans will just have to tune in next week to see what he pulls out of the closet.
