Kramerica Industries Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Gothamite said: Yeah, these outfits are so much more professional. And so much more flattering for the older man! For whatever its worth, I kinda feel like head coaches, and probably just coaches in general, really should be polo shirt or bust. Non-polos are ok with jackets but I've seen head coaches dressed like this before and that just doesn't look the part whatsoever. Collars create dignity.

T-shirts tucked into pants/shorts that have beltloops (and thus, a belt, no exceptions) is pretty awful...very few can pull it off... Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoman Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 i think that soccer has the best idea for what managers should wear, a clean button down or track suit. obviously, the button down could really only work with football and not baseball, but mlb managers could wear team polos instead. looks clean while still repping the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I think the solution is to go with a golf look. Golfers can look professional while wearing 'performance' fabrics that would be appropriate for the summer baseball months, and the outfit is easily adapted to colder fall months too. The golf outfits would allow for more flexibility for old fat guys to look professional and sporty at the same time, and they could even be designed in a way to sorta mimic the team uniform - for example, the light blue one below could have a little maroon P monogram on the chest, and be worn when the team is wearing their throwbacks. They'd sell a billion of them. This allows them to market the "manager's line' of shirts, and they could even design caps, like maybe a Kangol-style one that the skipper wears when he comes out of the dougout to make a change. $$$ "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

MilSox Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Are proper dugout jackets even a thing anymore? Because that's honestly what I prefer managers in. They can still look like part of the team while not looking like they're ready to suit up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I like the baseball managers wearing regular uniform. The cage jacket/ long sleeve untucked shirt looks like crap. Our high school coaches do it more and more. Looks sloppy. I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I think they could solve all of this by just having managers play a few innings here or there. Picture Joe Maddon heading out to the mound to toss a few over the plate with the bases loaded in the 7th, or Clint Hurdle trying to make a diving catch in center, or Bruce Bochy putting on the catchers gear and getting down into the squat to spell Buster Posey for a few innings.

seasaltvanilla Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 In fairness to Belichick he thinks coaches should wear suits on the sideline but the NFL's contract with Nike stipulates that all sideline apparel has to be Nike brand. He intentionally dresses like a schlub in protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See? Simple! Bochy would need a cybernetic lower half to even attempt the squat. Sadly, Buster isn’t far behind him.

THRILLHO Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Along the lines of what @BringBackTheVet suggests I was thinking that college football coaches have a look that translates well: dri fit polo tucked into dri fit slacks. It’s basically the same thing. When you look to college football though you can see how it gets applied to old fat guys. It still works in all types of weather. Just got to keep the shirt tucked in and make them wear the hat. I guess it also puts them in similar clothes as what the umpires wear...another group of old fat guys (in part). The one drawback though is that baseball managers take strange posture. Putting one foot up, leaning against railings etc. not sure how comfortable it would be plus it changes the way the slacks look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He intentionally dresses like a schlub in protest. I was never aware of this. I really wish this wasn't the case. It's a shame that coaches can't look well-dressed if they want. I don't really mind what managers/coaches wear. In baseball I like seeing the uniform, but it doesn't bother me if they are out of it. What I like best is a coach that wears their personality. Especially in college you have coaching legends known for what they wear. Non-college example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I think coaches in suits looks ridiculous. You're not going to a board meeting - it's a damned sports game. You're not leading a team of accountants - you're telling dumb kids which way to run. What's next - coaches in lab coats?

Either way, one can be a fan of a sport while acknowledging that it's participants are mostly dummies. You know what's really dumb? Wearing a hot-wool suit at an event where you are actively moving around, sweating, and having big sweaty men drape their long-ass sweaty-smelly arms on your suit jacket, resulting in an instant trip to the dry cleaners. It's dumb, and people who coach in suits are dumb. I don't think Lebron is like "well, I don't really want to run this play, but... he's wearing a suit... so he must know what he's doing".

CaliforniaGlowin Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Dodgers rookie Dustin May to wear #85 in his debut tonight. First Dodger to wear it during the regular season. My man's already a rebel! Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I remember when (other than Gretzky) it was really strange for hockey players to have really high numbers. I think it was mostly the Russians and Czechs that made it commonplace, and now when you see #71, 88, 91, 93, etc., it looks normal to me. I don't know if I'll ever get there with baseball. I have a feeling those high numbers - especially the ones that are higher than most spring-training numbers - will always look out of plac.e "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Eloy Jiménez- 74 José Abreu- 79 Dylan Cease- 84 Jiménez was high profile enough to have a lower number if he wanted it, Abreu has always worn 79, and have to think that Cease picked 84 on purpose just because there are so many lower numbers available.
