I get why he's wearing the jacket but he looks insane.


60 year old Axle Foley running around cosplaying as his 20 year old ass is just sad. I hope he's not dressed that way the whole movie. He looks like an insane old miserable person who can't let go of his youth. I know that the clothes are half the character here, but it's not the 80s anymore. Maybe there's an in-universe reason like it's a lucky charm and the Lions are in the playoffs or something.

on the tv show pilot it is mentioned that the jacket is like a superhero’s cape as it is passed on to axel’s son character.

though axel doesn’t even wear it in the first movie which is considered the best by many. he wears a black hoodie.

if anything a gray t-shirt is axels continuing outfit. sometimes it says mumford on it. in the picture he has a yellow shirt on though.

I see plenty of men his age wear that stuff, especially black men. Maybe you're insane.

It is a bit off-putting.

Didn't maverick do the same? And Indiana jones. and han solo (sorta)

I think he looked good. Too bad the movie was so forgettable.

Haven't thrown in my two cents yet. I have to rewatch it after I rewatch the original. I read an article that pointed out all the easter eggs and call backs I missed and I feel maybe I wasn't getting what this movie was really about. On it's own merit, pretty underwhelming.

All it is, is nostalgia porn. I caught the easter eggs, but that doesn't build a good movie. It was ok,but nothing more.

So old people don't wear sports merch?
