The Game Day Fits Conversation Nobody Is Having (But Should Be)
You've been watching the players. But have you been looking at the coaches?
Amy and Scott are diving into one of the most overlooked conversations in sports: game day fits on the sideline. What coaches are allowed to wear, what they're not, and why it's completely different depending on the sport. And as Scott puts it, if you don't even care about sports, this one involves fashion, and that's enough.
This week they cover:
Why baseball coaches are dressed like the players, and the late 1800s tradition behind it
The NFL's dress code, why suits have been banned since the nineties, and Kyle Shanahan's very real beef with this season's issued hats
Jim Harbaugh wearing cleats on the Chargers sideline and why his players started asking for them.
Kim Mulkey coaching LSU in feathers, rhinestones, and heels, because if you win enough, you can channel your inner Dolly Parton and wear whatever you want
Dawn Staley bringing Gucci and Jordans to the South Carolina sideline, and what her new Nike deal means for this season.
Rick Pitino's white suit, Danny Hurley's barely-surviving lucky suit, and what happens when you wear a white shirt and sweat through it on national television
Why the NHL is basically the last sport still in suits, and nobody is questioning it
There's always something to talk about in sports that has nothing to do with what's happening on the field. You just have to know where to look.
