FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - Bill Belichick will never be forgotten as the 24-year head coach of the Patriots. 

As he now leaves the team following an announcement with Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft on Thursday, his signature style will also be something to remember. 

“You see the gray hoodie, that’s Belichick,” one fan said inside the Patriots Pro Shop after Thursday’s news broke.

Belichick won six Super Bowls over his more than two-decade tenure in Foxboro. 

Beyond the championships, some say his football couture will also remain a big part of his lasting legacy. 

“It was always funny,” a fan said. “His style never changed over all these years.” 

“It says something,” another fan said. “He doesn’t care. It’s all about the game.”

From the sideline to the postgame podium, Belichick did not play around with his subtle style over the years, except for the occasional color change in the cutoff hoodie. 

“As a mother, you wouldn’t want to see your kids leave your house with cutoffs,” said fan Judy Moreira. “But what are you going to do?”

“He had a pretty good position, so he could do just what he wanted,” she continued.

On the same day that fans shared their thoughts, Kraft also mentioned Belichick’s one-of-a-kind look in his remarks Thursday, saying he will be upset to see the now-former Patriots coach wearing another team’s hoodie in the future.

“It will be difficult to see him in a cutoff hoodie on the sideline,” Kraft said. “But I will always continue to wish him continued success, except when he’s playing our beloved Patriots.”
