Erin Andrews turned the NFL sidelines into a meme factory on Sunday. The FOX Sports reporter arrived at the Eagles vs. 49ers game in a cream-and-black, extravagantly fluffy fur-like coat that immediately caught every camera and keyboard.
“This coat,” play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt noted early in the second half, “it’s terrific.” And the internet didn’t waste a second. One X user guessed it came from a flock of emus; another insisted it was “the entire polar bear exhibit” of the Philadelphia Zoo. Others saw Cruella de Vil in the seams. Even Merriam-Webster joined in, pointing out that a flock of emus is called a mob — an observation as precise as it was absurd.
Animal lovers can relax: the jacket appears to be faux. A bit of sleuthing pegged it as a $950 Auter design, likely the brand’s “The Fox” model — amusingly fitting for someone working at Fox Sports.
Practicality met drama on a 30-degree, windy night at Lincoln Financial Field. Andrews’ coat wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was armour against the chill. And yet, it also reminded everyone watching that sideline style has its own brand of spectacle — bold, oversized, and unapologetically talk-worthy.
