Former professional American football player Jason Kelce shocked the crowd during the second week of the ESPN Monday Night Countdown by showing up in an Italian-themed tracksuit, leading some to speculate about his possible ties to the nation.
Jason Kelce, 36, became a member of the 2024 ESPN Monday Night Countdown pregame team. Each week, he dons a new outfit.
On September 16, NFL Week 2 co-worker Jason Kelce of Monday Night Countdown made headlines with his Philadelphia homecoming suit. It looked like he was dressed in a full green tracksuit with white shorts below.
In addition, the Italian insignia on his top and bottom tracksuit raised questions about his family history and relationship to Italy.
Jason Kelce Belongs To American Ethnic Group
Jason Kelce is of American nationality because he was born to American parents, despite some people’s misconceptions about it following his recent attire for the ESPN Monday Night Countdown pregame.
Born and bred in America, both his mother, Donna Kelce, worked in banking, and father, Ed Kelce, was a sales representative for the steel industry.
Furthermore, their family history indicates that the Kelce surname originated in England and is most prevalent in Scotland, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
But their family’s last name indicates they are not from Italy, proving he is not related by blood.
In a similar vein, the Daily Mail revealed that Jason Kelce’s Italian-themed ensemble was worn as a memorial to his beloved Philadelphia Eagles, for whom he played from 2011 to 2023.
“In tribute to his beloved Eagles, the former center (Jason Kelce) was dressed head to toe in Kelly Green,” the Daily Mail reported.
Subsequently, the Super Bowl victor donned a stylish blazer in a sage hue and a clean white shirt.
This was the player’s second appearance of the evening, having first shown up at the tailgate celebrations dressed casually in Philadelphia-themed apparel.
