* PoorCommunicationKills: Jerry agrees to wear Leslie's design - the puffy shirt - on ''The Today Show'' because he couldn't understand what she was saying for talking so low, nor did he have next to him the one person who could understand her - Kramer, who went to the bathroom -, so he (and Elaine) just kept [[JustSmileAndNod nodding at her]] while she was talking, including when she asked if he would wear the shirt - which she interpreted as a yes.

* TheUnintelligible: Leslie speaks too low for Jerry to understand her.

Also, it was when he was asked for money by the two men that he considered the shirts didn't look so bad after all.
