Katie 495 Report post Posted March 12 (edited) Too many coaches pair cheap-looking, baggy collared shirts with massive casual pants. Aside from the sloppiness and shabbiness of the look, it's depressing when you consider that the coaches apparently think they look like professionals. Sadly, I doubt many coaches will ever learn how to dress. So the next best thing is to just let them go fully casual. Let the coaches wear track suits with their school's branding on it. It will be better for everyone. Edited March 12 by Katie 1 Frank_Rizzo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KCMO2 507 Report post Posted March 12 Unless you have them specially tailored, most dress shirts have measurements for neck and arm length. When you have to buy shirts that will fit a thick neck and broad shoulders, then the shirts will probably be baggy elsewhere. And while we're at it, who cares? 2 Cruiser94 and Relentless125 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's absolutely true when you shop at Walmart. As for "not caring" I totally support that. That's why I propose track suits. The problem is the coaches who care, but do not know how to dress.

Eagle26 267 Report post Posted March 12 I actually agree with this. I’ve often wondered why it is considered “professional” for a wrestling coach to wear a shirt and tie? Coaches in many other sports dress more athleticly and I think that can make you look more like a professional coach and a better representation of your team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
