Personally I like it. Yeah, I know the story of how he came to wear it in the first place, but I think it has reached iconic status now, much in the same way as Tom Landry's fedora, the huge cowboy hat of Bum Phillips, and the wearing of suits that was commonplace in a now bygone era (with apologies to Mike Nolan and Jack Del Rio).
What do you think? Do you like it, or do you think he should smarten up a little?

I like. for one...very practical and comfortable. Maybe hobo-chic will be a new fashion trend. I now have a sleeveless hoodie collection of my own. Course...I might be biased. Belichek is a fan of Chad Johnson....and that makes him OK in this Who Deys book.
Personally.....i think these guys should dress how they like. I like Nolans suits....I like the Hoodies. About the only outfit i got problems with are the jumpsuits that Al Davis wears.......very scary.

I personally like hoodies on me. They're comfortable, warm, and again, they're really comfortable. But I think it would be strange to see him come out like Mike Nolan and wear a suit and tie. Not that it isn't more professional, I believe it is, but I also believe that the hoody is part of Belichek's identity. As long as he's happy, he shouldn't change it. It obviously doesn't impact the professional nature of his coaching (spygate cannot be connected to his hoody), and he is only the most successful coach in this millenium, so I am not going to knock his fashion choices.

I see the hoodie as Belichick's trademark. Many of the great coaches in the NFL had some sort of trademark.
Bill Walsh and his white hair
Jimmy Johnson and his indestructible hair
Tom Landry's fedora
Dan Reeves and his suits
George Allen's enthusiasm

I am undecided on it to be honest, I like the Pats and Bill. I guess everybody is looking for their own identity as you pointed out with Landry's Hat, etc.
I sort of miss the suits though, let's face it, it is a business and coaches who dress the part do look a little more classy.

Coaches can wear whatever they want... I don't care if they came to there game in a pair of shorts and a white t-shirt... as long as that coaches team is winning... good enough for me, the fans, the owner and the players... do you think wearing a suit and tie will matter if your team goes 3-13... nope!

I work in high tech and it just reminds me of some of the programmers i know who dress like they're homeless but some of them make 6 digit incomes, and the lowest ussually get around 60-65k, some people dont care I always assumed bill was just one of those types. What is the story behind his hoodie?

I like it. It's practical when you coach in New England where the weather is not always conducive to wearing nice suits. It can get absolutely fridged at times and remember the stadium is not domed!

Personally, I hate the hoodie. I liked the days when coaches wore suits and presented a classy image of their organizations. Suit and tie days are long gone, but in the same sense you can still look respectable and presentable without wearing a cut off sleeved hoodie. Throw on a polo, Bill!

i think it is a medical reason or reasoning, which i guess can be debated...
but yes it is kinda iconic, but it's like he wants to go unnoticed or incognito... which is kinda ironic since he is trying to make sure everyone knows he is around by running up the score(except on good teams which was only the Colts)...
