Alvin Kamara made a statement after the New Orleans Saints‘ win against the Washington Redskins, wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey and a political hat.
The Saints star running back wore the No. 7 San Francisco 49ers shirt and a red hat, which referenced President Donald Trump‘s “Make America Great Again” slogan. Kamara’s cap read: “Make Africa Home Again,” with the same red and white color scheme as the apparel worn by Trump’s supporters.

The second-year pro had just 24 yards on six carries and three catches for 15 yards in the victory. His workload was lightened a bit by the return of backfield mate Mark Ingram, who had 16 carries for 53 yards and two scores. Ingram also had two catches for 20 yards in his first game of 2018, following a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy.
Kamara donned the apparel while doing a postgame interview with Ingram, but did not answer questions regarding the outfit.
