Darby Allin Explains Origins Of His Viral Pink Jacket

Darby Allin is known for a lot of things, from off-the-wall stunts to making himself a menace outside the ring with his crazy life. His face tattoo may have captured headlines, but he keeps that mostly covered with face paint. However, he can’t hide that big pink fluffy jacket and fans have questions.

Darby Allin has been making quite an impression with his recent wardrobe choice. A fluffy pink jacket has been catching the eyes of AEW fans for weeks.

The story behind the jacket came to light during an interview with Fightful, where Darby Allin shared the reasoning for his bold fashion choice. When asked about it, Allin explained that it all started when he broke his foot and was then hit by a bus, keeping him off AEW television for a while. During his injury recovery, he spent time watching the show and noticed that many wrestlers were opting for darker colors, so he wanted to do something different.

“I was watching the show a lot. I thought a lot of people were wearing dark colors, figured if I come back wearing a pink jacket—so if you’re flipping through the channel, you see a skeleton with a skateboard held in a pink jacket, it’s going to pop out really good.”
