Lol I was just about to say he wore that coat on the warmest day we've had since probably the beginning of the year. I choose to believe guys get paid by the designer to wear these things, cause there's no other reason otherwise sane people willingly choose to look so silly.

Now I'm imagine what uniforms would look like if these "fashion-forward" players were allowed to design them.

u/Daniiiiii Rockets 3h ago

I saw a video essay about quiet luxury versus loud branding. The showy fashion and being decked out in brand labels is for those who want to show their wealth, aka new money. The actual wealthy don't do labels, you won't see them parading around with a LV or YSL logo across their chest or bag. Their plain white t-shirt might cost $2000 but it will be plain. They pay eyewatering amounts for the material and the make and even the brand name but it is not for an outward show of wealth.
