Riley was definitely one of the best dressed in his day, but being from Detroit, the Lakers were the enemy. plus as a kid I didn't know anything about fashion. the Pistons had Chuck Daly, a schlub that looked like his suit was off the rack. which was a good fit for Detroit, at least. I did like his haircut.

i think a big part of what makes these photos look good is the vintage/nostalgic camera grain, and that all the photos are candid, taken when he's in motion/doing his job. idk if it's just me but you just look cooler when your suit jacket is unbuttoned, hands on hips, in pockets, etc. taking a mirror selfie with a modern smartphone camera in an idle stance and you'll look like a square no matter what

That is some fucking BULLSHIT. I haven't followed pro sports really as an adult, and it seems to have all gone to shit since I was a kid.
Remember Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday? You're telling me he would have to wear a sweatsuit or something with NFL logos on it?? It may work for Ditka, but it didn't for fucking Tom Landry.
And they hire lip readers to try and figure out the plays so these guys have to cover their mouths... shameful shit.

>>18618589
yeah, the Lakers took the west every year, but the Blazers were good. I saw Clyde play the Pistons with the same team that became the bad boy team. I think it was Rodman's rookie year

>>18619258
Reebok? That's not even a sports team thing. What exactly is this rule? They just can't dress nice? Or they have to wear something that a big advertiser makes?
You need to clarify this now, because it's getting too confusing for me.

Did Phil Jackson dress well enough to be recognized?

>>18619315
I don't know exactly but Reebok was probably a sponsor of the league of his team. And yes, one anon mentioned above that coaches were forced as part of their job to wear the tacky sports clothes.

It must have helped that he was taller than his players. Psychologically I think he could get away with a bit more. In fact, I'd be surprised if there were any really short NBA head coaches. I think being former players has a lot to do with it. I don't believe all that stuff about height dynamics since historically there have been so many short dudes who accomplished so much, but in this one scenario it seems like you'd have an edge. I'm just probably thinking that though because the Bulls won so much under PJ, but 90% of that was Jordan alone.

Drop the tie depending on context. Could also swap the jacket for a wool sweater. If a jacket is appropriate the less padding in the shoulders (I.e. soft tailored) the more informal and versatile. Mix and match trouser/jacket colours and textures. Loafers are also very casual.

they should allow logos embroidered on the jacket the way schools that require uniforms have their crest embroidered.
I mean, they won't because they want people to see the coach wearing a team item that people can buy from the NFL store, but my way would be a decent compromise.
or like the black coaches could wear one of those giant iced-out medallions with the team logo. I guess that's only effay from a certain perspective, but at least it would be more fair.

Just ANY logos? Obviously it has to tie in with the team or a sponsor of the NBA.

I'm pretty late to the vintage armani obsession so I've got a question. Where should the label break be for it to actually look accurate or does it not matter as much?

>>18621680
Checking back now realizing I typed label instead of lapel like a freak

>>18621793
Both work actually. Coats have labels too. And if it's Armani I'm sure that label is half the fucking value anyway.

Yes it matters
I can't remember when and in which direction sadly. I'll go digging.

In every photo it seems that the lapel break happens right at the waistline of the pants. I only ask because I've seen a lot of jackets second hand that either have higher or lower button placement (therefore higher/lower break)

>>18617407
Why doesn't he just wear a baseball cap with a logo? Or is it specified that it has to be a hoodie or something

>>18621680
Generally the top button (on a 2 button jacket) would marry up with the waistline of your trousers.
