Bill Belichick Wore His Late Father's Fedora As Patriots Arrived In Minnesota

BOSTON (CBS) -- Bill Belichick was oozing with style when the Patriots arrived in Minnesota on Monday afternoon.

The Patriots head coach was sporting a dapper fedora as he departed the team's AirKraft after it landed at Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport on Monday afternoon, showing off a fashion sense we usually don't see out of New England's hooded-one.

We now know the hat carries a lot of sentimental meaning for Belichick, as it belonged to his late father and longtime football coach Steve Belichick.

"That was my dad's hat, so I thought I'd just toss that one one. I felt good about wearing it," Belichick told former Patriots linebacker Willie McGinest during Monday evening's Super Bowl Opening Night. "Minnesota is a good place to have a hat. It did the trick."

Belichick's quarterback was a big fan.
