When Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown took the field Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, he did so wearing some really, really blue cleats that featured his four children.

But, during the first half of the game, Brown was reportedly ordered by the ref to remove the cleats.

During the second half of the game, Brown changed back to his normal cleats.

This isn’t the first time Brown has had a cleat issue this year. In Week 1, Brown wore blue cleats that featured his No. 84 and was fined by the league.

According to NFL rules, “foreign substances on body/uniform” results in a $9,115 fine for a first time offense and an $18,231 offense.

Brown was already fined for his twerking touchdown celebration earlier this season.
