Cleveland Browns coach Freddie Kitchens has no plans of changing his wardrobe options for anyone.

Two days after being spotted at a movie theater wearing a "Pittsburgh Started It" t-shirt, Kitchens said his attire had no bearing on Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Steelers, who clearly used it as motivation.

“The T-shirt didn’t have anything to do with this,” Kitchens said after Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh. “I wore a T-shirt. I wore a jacket with it. My daughter told me to wear the shirt, and I’d wear it again.

“I put a jacket on. I covered it up. I took a picture with a fan. It was as simple as that. The T-shirt didn’t cause us to give up 40-yard passes. We were ready to play.”

Pittsburgh guard Ramon Foster, among several others, was not happy with the lack of respect shown to the Steelers by Kitchens.

“You just don’t see that from upper management,” Foster said. “We’ve all got to grow as professionals in some sense. I’m glad Coach T doesn’t do anything like that. I know our coach would have never done anything like that.

"Why throw gas? When do you something like that, you throw players in harm’s way. He’s not on the field.”

“I thought it was pretty stupid,” Steelers guard David DeCastro told reporters. “That's bulletin-board material. I don't know why you'd do that, as a coach. I just don't get that. Of course it's going to motivate us. What are you thinking?"

This saga began in November when Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett was suspended indefinitely for hitting Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph in the head with a helmet during a fight near the end of the game.

Rudolph, who was fined for his involvement in the end-of-game fight, is reportedly "distraught" after Garrett accused him of using a racial slur that initiated the beef. Garrett's accusation was made during his initial comments at the appeal hearing for his indefinite suspension in New York. Per ESPN's initial report, Garrett's statements sparked a debate among both sides as to whether or not such an accusation was permissible.

Kitchens' shirt went viral prior to Sunday's game.

"Doesn’t get much better than this! Someone spotted Freddie Kitchens rocking our Pittsburgh started it shirt tonight! Tag a friend if you can’t get any more pumped up for Sunday! The Rivalry is real!! Cleveland let’s go," the post on Instagram from GV Art + Design reads.
