Dress code means that on June 65438+1October 65438+July 2005, NBA President david stern announced that all players in NBA and NBDL would be required to wear code. Although NHL (National Hockey League) stipulates in its rules that all players except the head coach or general manager should wear a coat and tie to participate in the competition, NBA is the first major sports league in the United States to formally implement the dress code. In addition, in order to protect the safety and the interests of the organizers, almost all sports have clear regulations on the clothing of athletes during the competition.
All players must wear business or traditional clothes when attending or leaving the competition venue, sitting on the bench to watch the game due to injury, and participating in official NBA business activities (press conferences, charity activities, etc.). The new dress code mainly prohibits contestants from wearing fashionable clothes related to hip-hop culture, as long as they include: classic retro jerseys or other jerseys, hip-hop jeans, hats, headscarves, casual T-shirts, exaggerated jewelry, sports shoes and woodland boots.
Players are not allowed to wear the above clothes when they are interviewed, before and after participating in the game (including sitting on the bench to watch the game due to injury), participating in charity activities or other official activities related to NBA and NBDL. If a player does not attend the game according to the dress code, then the dress code must at least meet the league's requirements for coaches.
