Tag Team

I have to say that showing off your tag as a pro athlete would be equivalent to having your shirt untucked while wearing a tuxedo. If you don’t have pride in the jersey/uniform you’re wearing, you shouldn’t be allowed to wear it.

And regarding the abs show, it is more than disgraceful.

I don’t know; it could be link with shortened jerseys.

[quote comment=”12875″]Baseball pajama slacks, untucked shirts, unbuckled belts, tags sticking out . . . apparently many genius athletes have decided that it is cool to be a slob. Now while I certainly no metrosexual pretty boy type, I believe that there something to be said for looking professional. Players today just keep creating new reasons for old guys (I’m 40) to dislike them.[/quote]

Agreed!

Let’s try the link one more time…

I personally like being untucked. It feels very unrestricting and free, as well as not getting in the way of any movements. I also like the “Pyjamma” baseball bottoms. BUT I do NOT like that tag look. Either tuck it in, or leave it untucked and rip off that tag. Your jersey is numbered, you shouldn’t NEED that tag anymore!

[quote comment=”12882″]About that Wyoming Jersey: I see the Reebok tag clearly, but look just to the left edge of the tag, where there is a little add on tag…It looks like an Under Armour logo, doesn’t it? Does Wyoming wear any Under Armour gear?[/quote]

You know it might be the size tag…sometimes they put the size next to it…or maybe initials…it is hard to see though

As for the untucked look…clothes is different than a jersey. A untucked jersey looks like crapola. I could not stand when my jersey came untucked as well as when my teammates jersey cam untucked. We looked like crap when that happened. Some lineman think it looked like they were playing hard when it came untucked, but then again they didn’t want to get grabbed by their jersey.

All in all in looks like crap when it comes untucked.

NYBatt, I love that you’re teaching and commenting at the same time. Great. I agree with the untucked thing, rarely do I tuck in a shirt when I dress casually. However, when I’m at work, you better believe I’m tucking in a button-down, a polo, whatever, into my slacks. I see plenty of slovenly joes here at Corporate America who wear khakis but with an untucked polo, or with tennis shoes. It’s not just sports that is overly-casual.

Let’s never see or speak of the Broncos’ all-blue ensemble again, OK?

I’m holding off for the Broncos to do an all Orange uniform… with Orange Jerseys and Pants… how sweet would that be… JK

Maybe those aren’t uniform tags on the Wyoming player, but some form of trophies/scalps.

[quote comment=”12910″]Two thoughts —

1 – NYBATT is indicative of the problem in education today. Instead of teaching, he’s surfing a site that has nothing to do with his classroom. Unless, of course, he teaches Home Ec, and is in a unit on fashion design…

2 – Thanks to John Elway, we never had to see the atrocity we witnessed last night on MNF. Elway showed leadership in more than one way, and unilaterally vetoed the blue over blue unis. Broncos fans miss Elway in more than one way. It goes without saying that we miss him every time Jake the Mistake puts the ball in play…[/quote]

1- It could be worse. We had some middle school teachers out our way who exchanged porn on district email a while ago. There could be a test going on as well, or something (not that I’m making excuses, we’re explicitly taught to focus on teaching)

2- Darn skippy! They wore them once in that 1997 preseason, and Elway put that to rest. Why won’t Bowlen ever go throwback for us?

Duly noted, which is why they make jerseys longer than your average T-shirt. This allows for movement, but keeps the shirt tucked in.

Do you think the president and the owner of the Iggles untuck their shirts and unbuckle their belts while in the owner’s box? These players are representing a) the entire city, b) a franchise with a storied history, c) a game with a storied history, d) any fan who loves the game, and e) themselves. While I understand self-representation in terms of “fashion”, reasons A thru D would suggest that the world doesn’t revolve around the player.

In fact, since the player is being paid a salary greater than a doctor (tucks his/her shirt in), a lawyer (tucks his/her shirt in), a dentist (tucks his/her shirt in), or a judge (tucks his/her shirt in), it would seem to me that the player should also be tucking his/her shirt in if they want to continue receiving his/her pay check at that current rate. Yes, it’s a flawed argument, but logic would infer that the end would justify the means.[/quote]

I’m pretty sure that none of the occupations you’ve mentioned would have any sort of benefit for having their belts unbuckled and their shirts out. But for someone who makes a living running down the sideline covering T.O., a little extra range of motion could be huge. If you’ve ever seen Warren Sapp at the end of a game with his jersey out, you know that those things stretch literally down to your knees. Not what I’d want stuffed into my spandex pants.

Which brings up my next point: you don’t NEED a belt with spandex pants. They’re fitted spandex stuffed with pads (on some players not). It’s not like these guys are low-riding NBA players. The belt is a fashion accessory that makes players uncomfortable.

BTW, I’ve never seen a surgeon wear a belt with scrubs (their version of performance wear).

Unless I’m wearing sweats around the house, I don’t care what I’m wearing : button-up, polo, most of my T-shirts (I buy them oversized because I like room) are always tucked.

[quote comment=”12907″]A couple things I noticed at Nationwide Arena last night for the Jackets-Coyotes game:

First, there are banners of all the NHL team logos at the top of the arena. They had the new Ducks logo but not the Buffaslug up. I tried for a couple pics, but I might as well have taken them underwater. I’ll take the digital next time.

Second, the Coyotes jerseys look a bit busy with everything on the sleeve of their jersey. They’ve got the link on the sleeve and the link patch on the chest. Here are a couple pics:

Finally, I’m not sure if this has been posted yet, but here’s the logo for the link. A pretty cool variation on the Jackets alt logo, if you ask me.

Hockey fans can also sign up for comp tix at that link.[/quote]

The Buffaslug/Barney Rubble Sabre logo was officially unveiled just before the preseason, I believe; while the Ducks new logo was revealed back in July or so. The new Sabre banner is probably still being made or in transit.

I’m not sure how the Coyotes sleeves can look busy next to a CBJ alternate that has the main logo on the shoulders, sleeve numbers and three stars on each sleeve.

As for jersey tucking, may we never see tucked in hockey sweaters!

I agree whole-heartedly. If you look the part, people will assume you play the part. I always make sure my 4-year old is tucked. He doesn’t ever STAY that way, but he always starts off that way.

Bill, Make sure you add a very tasteful and Uni Classic Boston University Jersey with Chris Drury’s number 18 on the back (and the front). Hard pressed to find a better example for your kids than Mr. Drury . . .

As some people have metioned, the midriff trend is hardly new. It’s more of on a comeback than an emergence. When I was playing h.s. football, I remember seeing game film of CIF champ teams from years past (mid ’90s) and MANY of those players loved the midriff look. Personally, I couldn’t do it. Too much exposed skin in such a rough game. I hate skinning my knees, much less my stomach. And no, I don’t think that belts inhibit movement. Hip and butt pads, yes, but the belt that holds it in is crucial for keeping those spandex pants from riding down gradually, from being grabbed on a tackle or sliding down as you dive on the ground. Same with baseball. And I don’t know what hockey players would do without suspenders.

I am teaching 11th grade US History too (4 World History classes also), in Tucson. 14 boys, none tucked either. I would say the only tucking that I see is just a little front middle tuck to show off a belt buckle.

The exposed midriff look brings out conflicting responses from me. The uni-watcher in me clucks her tongue in disapproval; the woman in me nods in appreciation—as long as it’s not a four-hundred pound lineman who’s exposing his pot-belly.

The tag showing, the untucked jersey, the pajama pants all have to stop. They all look horrible, and I don’t buy the explanation that having an untucked jersey helps with movement. Nor do I buy that the jerseys are too big given that we have exposed midriffs. Tuck ’em in, guys. Just Do It.

I will DEFINITELY get a BU jersey – I only have two college jerseys right now – a UNH (gift from my friend) and a Marist College (gift from the team for 10 years of PA announcing for them).

I know we’ve had the discussiona bout people getting their own names on jerseys, but it’s my collevtion – I get my name, always teh #18, and if I can swing it, a Captain’s C – feeds my ego that way!

I never really understood the disdain of a monochromatic color scheme (EX: The Broncos last night).

But then again, I always end up loving the gaudier jerseys I’ve seen. So…

Anything, in terms of Jerseys and schemes, has to be better than “Turn Ahead the Clock” experiments; even I understood THAT.

And if you look closely at the pic, the front of Burns’ jersey seems to be the same color as the front of Elam’s, which is pretty much close to the same color of the pants. So does that mean that the front and back of the jerseys are made up of two different materials? That would explain that both guys’ fronts look lighter than their shoulders/back. Interesting

I don’t think polo shirts should ever be tucked in. That look to me calls to mind some kind of dorky twit from an old Cary Grant movie. Don’t Blockbuster Video staffers do that too? And folks who work in theme restaurants? Hate to be snobby, but that particular style does not say “professional.”

Why should sports athletes have to tuck in their jerseys? They aren’t hosting the Queen of England that they have to be formal or something. Whenever I’ve played sports, I always found it restricting to my movement. I hate tucked in shirts. The jerseys should just be made shorter and tighter around the waste to accomodate if somebody leaves their jersey untucked.

Many teams recycle old jersey’s from previous vendors. I know back in the mid 90’s the Dallas Cowboys used to strip the Russell patches from the jersey and patch and apply Apex logos. Many NFL teams who use Schutt helmets blank out the name and put Riddell on the front above the facemask or on the back. This is because Riddell is the official helmet of the NFL.

Hm. That’s not so bad, and it’s not what I meant, either. My indignation rendered me not-so-eloquent, so I’ll try again.

Weird-ass Thigh-Stripe

I’m talking about the stripe on the left leg that goes around the leg-hole (call it a band) and matches the striping on the waistband. Two legs or none, T’wolves! It’s not so hard.

I can’t for the life of me believe that there are people that think it’s not necessary for players of certain sports to tuck thier shirts in. How on earth can you look at an MLB’er with his shirt untucked and not be sickened? It just looks terrible (along with pajama pants and dot-pattern sleeves)

One place where the untucking of jerseys doesn’t seem to be prevalent is, surprisingly enough, basketball. The sport that needed to put in a dress code to keep it’s players looking decent off the court doesn’t seem to have issues on the court.

Random, non-uni-related note: why does Oakland close off the upper deck of their ballpark for the LC-freakin’-S? I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to sell out game one of an LCS.

And now for something completely different. The link

All the comments about tucked and untucked really should not be about sloppy,young, or old. This country is about personal choice. If your boss thinks tucking is needed its done. It is his company. To chastise a 14 year old as a slob or thug, cause his shirt is out is wrong. Didn’t they say that about Elvis,heavy metal, and rap. Since when did we become our dads and dictate what is right and wrong. p.s. I am a 36 year old and I tuck and untuck as the day dictates

What is the big deal with tucking in shirts? I am female so the same rules for professional attire do not apply. I always say button-down shirt, tuck. No buttons, no tuck. Unless you are wearing a belt then maybe tuck.

To make this more uni-related. I say if the fashion statement affects your performance do what feels best. Perhaps something like the short football jersey makes the players feel like they are less likely to be tackled. Same with the undone belt. Maybe they have to wear the belt but it hurts to fall on the belt buckle. I know I risk being banished for this statement, but I would much rather see my team win than have tucked in shirts.

The pajama pants thing is another issue though. Not only do you look like an idiot, it can not help a player to wear their pants like that and might even hinder in some cases.

If the Broncs wore the blue pants with the white jerseys, they would have mismatched stripes. The white jerseys have blue stripes and the blue pants with orange stripes. So the Broncs would have to come up with white jerseys with orange stripes to make the look work. The Broncs already have two sets of white pants, one with blue stripe (road) and one with orange stripe (home).

Sad to report that Adam Morrison is officially link Damn NBA Couldn’t they just turn a blind eye like they did last year with the tights.

I am a manager for the contract department of a fortune 25 pharmaceutical company, and I agree with the untucked mentality. I wear slacks and a dress shirt four days a week, and casual Friday I wear jeans and a tee shirt or a polo shirt, and it is always untucked. I actually enjoy getting dressed up and looking professional, but if given the choice I will always choose jeans or shorts, with my shirt untucked. I also firmly believe that I never look sloppy or unkempt even though I choose to leave my shirt untucked. I am 25 and I also believe that nothing says “dork” or “old man” like a shirt tucked in to shorts.

[quote comment=”12993″]What is the big deal with tucking in shirts? I am female so the same rules for professional attire do not apply. I always say button-down shirt, tuck. No buttons, no tuck. Unless you are wearing a belt then maybe tuck.

To make this more uni-related. I say if the fashion statement affects your performance do what feels best. Perhaps something like the short football jersey makes the players feel like they are less likely to be tackled. Same with the undone belt. Maybe they have to wear the belt but it hurts to fall on the belt buckle. I know I risk being banished for this statement, but I would much rather see my team win than have tucked in shirts.

The pajama pants thing is another issue though. Not only do you look like an idiot, it can not help a player to wear their pants like that and might even hinder in some cases.[/quote]

Not sure how it can hurt fall on link

[quote comment=”13013″]Also, I blame the Ravens for making the NFL think that it’s OK to wear dark jerseys with dark pants. When they first moved to Baltimore, the Ravens home unis were purple jerseys with black pants. (they didn’t even have white pants) And while I’m not the purple hater that many on this board are, and purple on black is technically not “monochromatic”, I think we can all agree that that combo sucks… After that 96 season, we slowly saw (and still see) teams experiment with (sucky) all dark looks.[/quote]

do we have to all agree? No.

What’s your problem with Black & Purple. They’re the RAVENS! They’re original uniforms.

What do you want – every team to look the same red, white, and blue.
