IN PHOTOS: Alabama’s Terrion Arnold dazzles in special pink suit embroidered with “Lank 3” for 2024 NFL draft
Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold arrived at the 2024 NFL Draft in a salmon pink suit with silver details. The outfit was designed by Tom Marchitelli, the designer who has dressed NFL stars like Joe Burrow and Travis Kelce.
The cornerback, who was selected No. 24 by the Detroit Lions, seemed confident in his outfit. Marchitelli described the look as one-of and included a special design on the inside of the jacket, an idea of the former Alabama Crimson Tide player.
One of the sides of the jacket featured a picture of Terrion Arnold when he played youth football along with his family picture. The other side of the jacket included the acronym “LANK,” which stands for “Let All Naysayers Know.” It was the Crimson Tide’s motto last season. Below the acronym was his college jersey number 3 in red color.
As per ESPN, Arnold’s stepmother reached out to Marchitelli, also known as “Gentleman’s Playbook.” Arnold and the designer met in Tampa Bay for a fitting session and tried out different colors for the suit.
Arnold and his stepmother initially wanted the suit to be of teal and aquamarines tone. But when they saw Marchitelli in a pink and gray suit, they changed their minds.
The suit additionally included a rounded shawl lapel and a silver-toned gray bow tie that matched the secondary color of the suit.
