The San Francisco 49ers media session during Super Bowl LIV kicked off, and head coach Kyle Shanahan was the only member of his team who wasn't wearing the all-white outfit that all the players donned for the event.

Shanahan told Deion Sanders of NFL Network that he took one look at the outfit and refused to wear it. He was told the outfit was all they had for the 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.

"When I got here, they had on the white marshmallow-looking stuff for me, and I said there was no way I was wearing that," Shanahan said. "They said that's all they had. I go, 'I promise you (Chiefs coach) Andy Reid's not wearing that. So if you can promise me Andy is, (then) I am.'

"Once I heard he was wearing Tommy Bahama, then I knew I was good to wear my own hoodie."

So Shanahan entered Marlins Park wearing an all-black outfit with a black hoodie rather than the white variant the players were forced to wear.
