Ryan Clark’s Monday Night Football outfit was something else, and fans couldn’t get enough of it. The former NFL star turned analyst showed up in a bold, almost villainous getup that had X (formerly Twitter) buzzing.
With comparisons to a Batman villain, Clark’s outfit definitely stole the limelight. But, hey, when you’re a former Super Bowl champ, why not make a statement — whether it’s for your analysis or your choice in wardrobe, fans clearly couldn’t look away.
Ryan Clark’s Half-and-Half Suit Sparks Savage Twitter Roasts
Clark’s MNF outfit quickly became the talk of NFL Twitter, but not for the reasons you might expect. His bold, half-and-half suit jacket left fans divided. The jacket had one side plain blue, while the other was a checkered print, paired with a white shirt, black tie, and a silver watch.
Fans didn’t hold back. One fan said Clark’s outfit made him “look like a Batman villain.”\”

Another quipped, “Designer didn’t have enough material to finish either one of the jackets he was working on and came up with this,” clearly pointing out the awkward mismatch of the two halves.

Another tweet nailed it, saying, “I’m going to go with: the man can wear what he wants but you’d have to pay me more than you’d be willing to pay to get me to wear such a travesty of fashion.” Ouch.

One fan called out Clark for trying too hard to set trends, saying, “One or the other would look great” — meanwhile, another questioned the purpose behind the fit: “I don’t know honestly. I mean why? What is the point here? Is he making a statement of some sort?”
And then there was the classic just-because-you-can-doesn’t-mean-you-should reaction directed at Clark’s attempt to pull off two different styles at once.
“Someone needs to tell Ryan Clark that just because you can wear a jacket that’s two different styles, doesn’t mean that you should,” the fan said.
But, hey, whether you love or hate it, Clark’s outfit definitely made a statement, and fans won’t forget it anytime soon. One thing’s for sure: Clark’s fashion choices are always something to talk about.
Clark Breaks Down How Steelers Can Stop Lamar Jackson
Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens went head-to-head with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Week 11. Jackson did his usual thing in Week 10 — 290 passing yards, 33 rushing yards, and four TDs in a crazy 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals — but ESPN analyst Clark had his eye on how the Steelers would handle the reigning MVP the following week.
Clark, with his deep knowledge, laid out the blueprint for stopping Jackson: “If they have the quarterback, they run straight to Lamar Jackson. They give him no option to get outside.”
The Steelers’ defense, he believed, would get physical with Jackson, a contrast to the Bengals’ inability to contain him. Clark also made it clear that Jackson couldn’t do it all on his own, adding, “Lamar is going to need his teammates to beat this team.”
The Steelers’ defense lived up to the hype, putting the brakes on Jackson’s magic in Week 11; ultimately, the team made it clear that they’re no easy matchup in the AFC North.
