Izod just added some bling
It’s time to wear uniforms on the court—and off. That’s the recent message from NBA commissioner David Stern after announcing a new dress code.Of course, Stern is receiving a lot of flack from players. It’s an infringement on personal preference, they say. It’s a player's right to "represent," to express their culture, attitude, and taste. Blah, blah, blah.
Oh, come on! I haven’t heard more whining since the last time I chaperoned a field trip with my daughter’s third-grade class. These are grown men with professional jobs. Is it so much to ask them to behave and dress professionally while on-the-job? Nobody is telling them what to wear when they’re in their hotel room, when they go out for the evening, or during the off season. They simply have to follow a business-casual dress code that most Americans have to follow while they are at work. Since pro basketball players are in a position to be representing the NBA on their way to work and on their way out just adds hours to the work day—or evening. It's called OVERTIME.
I could honestly care less what these guys wear off the court. All I want to see is the Pistons kick ass on the court. But, seriously, they should stop acting like spoiled brats. They’re millionaires! They can certainly afford a second wardrobe.
But you have to admit, it will be strange watching the NBA turn out a bunch of PGA look-a-likes to the post-game press.
Don't forget to press them pleats, boys!

Please tell me the new uniform consists of Devo-style coverall suits! That would rock!
