For Friday night’s game, Sharpe was decked up in brown pants and a white plain tee paired with a unique patchwork cardigan. Minutes after the brawl, his behavior was the talk of the town but for former NBA Star JJ Redick, his cardigan was the sole focus. He took to Twitter and enquired about Sharpe’s “elite button-up”. Days after this inquiry, Redick seemed to continue his obsession with the cardigan.

He further spoke about the price of the cardigan. Redick claimed that the cardigan’s price on one website was around $5,800. Redick believed that this was the “Shannon Sharpe effect”. 

The ex-NBA Star and his co-host analyzed if Redick could pull off the fit. Redick noted that the size chart mentioned online made no sense to him. He said, “Shannon, he’s my height he’s got like 40 pounds on me, barrel-chested, very fit and I couldn’t find a size larger than XL.”
