Red Mosquito

Belichick always insisted that he wore hoodies because they were comfortable. But that look -- standing on a sideline vaguely and proudly disheveled and emperor-like -- became a central tenet to his professional identity. Like what the black turtleneck did to Steve Jobs and what the gray tee does to Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie spoke for Belichick in a way that he couldn't speak for himself. It prompted David Letterman to call him a "Sherpa on the sideline." Biographer David Halberstam used it to show how Belichick consciously avoided "the trappings of celebrity," similar to how Eddie Vedder lived in a self-imposed depraved state during the recording of "Vs." Columnist Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! once reported that Belichick wore the hoodie out of irritation with the NFL's $250 million deal with Reebok, which mandated that coaches wear its apparel. A man who detests distractions became a schlubby protest on the sideline, making the sloppiest apparel item available even sloppier with ragged sleeves.

Some bars only serve liquors or wines or sushi or something.
