The ManningCast has become synonymous with three key elements: Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, and their signature quarter-zip pullovers, making it a distinctive fashion statement.
The Manning brothers have embraced these dad sweaters as their go-to fashion choice, and it has become an integral part of the ManningCast experience. This style has gained such prominence that even Barack Obama made a point to sport one during his appearance on the Monday Night Football alternative broadcast.

The quarter-zip look isn’t exclusive to the male hosts, as demonstrated when Kay Adams from Good Morning Football prepared for her appearance on a Monday game featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars and Cincinnati Bengals. Adams, wanting to align with the ManningCast’s style, had a simple request.
Omaha Productions, the team behind ManningCast, paid attention to Adams’ request. When the show returned from a commercial break during Adams’ appearance, she was seen wearing a dark blue quarter-zip, almost identical to the ones worn by Peyton and Eli Manning.
Adams shared an amusing story on the show, revealing that the dad sweater arrived at her doorstep via drone, courtesy of the production company. She exclaimed, “Omaha Productions had a drone drop this outside of my house. That’s how incredible that crew is.” However, she humorously pointed out that in their haste to send the quarter-zip, it seemed they may not have checked if it was their cleanest one. “I literally think this is one of your producer’s dad’s. There’s some lasagna on it, I’m not joking.”
Later on, Adams admitted that the drone part of the story was made up, but someone from Omaha Productions did indeed promptly deliver the Manning staple to her place. Despite the quirky delivery details, Kay Adams effortlessly showcased how she can make the quarter-zip look stylish.
