Kittle's hoodie very likely is a response to the NFL fining him nearly $14,000 for revealing a "F--k Dallas" shirt he was wearing under his jersey during the 49ers' 42-10 win over the Cowboys last Sunday.
Kittle made it clear earlier this week he had no regrets about the NSFW shirt he wore last weekend, and would do it all over again if given the chance.
But it's clear by his attire ahead of the 49ers' game against the Browns that Kittle would like to avoid a fine this week.
