Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer has worn a black hoodie during the team’s six-game winning streak.
DeBoer is undefeated this season and 14-2 all-time at Alabama while wearing the hoodie.
DeBoer plans to continue wearing the hoodie to ‘ride the momentum’ of the team’s success.
TUSCALOOSA, AL — Protect the hoodie.
Kalen DeBoer stayed hot in his black hoodie. Alabama’s six-game winning streak has come with DeBoer wearing his signature look that he picked back up after wearing a red polo in Alabama’s season-opening flop to Florida State.
The No. 6 Tide trashed No. 11 Tennessee 37-20 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. DeBoer hasn’t lost this season while wearing the hoodie. He’s now 14-2 all-time in the hoodie at Alabama.
‘We’re going to ride the momentum,’ DeBoer said, when asked about what’s become his trademark look.
Postgame tradition in this Third Saturday in October rivlary dictates that the winning side lights up cigars. DeBoer knew he must keep his hoodie safe from the celebratory stogies.
‘I told the guys not to get any ashes on it,’ DeBoer joked after his first triumph against Tennessee.
Whatever it takes to keep the winning streak alive.
