Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes

D-Hall interrupted and threatened by the league during post-game interviews inside the locker room on Sunday because he was wearing a polo shirt.

This is beyond ridiculous.

DeAngelo Hall’s postgame chat was cut short by NFL wardrobe inspector, who threatened to fine him

The NFL will sting players for wearing the wrong cleats, sweatbands or non-league-issued gear. They have an inspector who makes his way around the field and personally checks out players' garb.

No joke. But now inspectors apparently have followed the players inside locker rooms and are threatening to issue fines for those who are not in sartorial lockstep with the league's stringent and ridiculous rules on what can and can't be worn. Yes, even after the game.

Case in point: Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall was laughing, joking and filling up reporters' notebooks and recording devices with post-game gold after Sunday's victory over the Oakland Raiders. Hall, when he wants to be, is among the more quotable and colorful players in the league.


But as he talked to a gaggle of media, Hall — wearing a Lacoste logo shirt — was approached by the NFL inspector and asked to stop talking because of his shirt.

#Redskins DeAngelo Hall was banned from talking with us by an NFL uniform inspector, who said he couldn't speak while wearing a Polo shirt.

D'Hall was in a great mood giving us great answers and then a NFL official walked over and told him to change his shirt. He wasnt happy.

Meanwhile Von Miller goes on camera wearing a t-shirt referring to the rapper lifestyle/gang activity...and Hall gets crap for dressing in a nice polo shirt. Apparently Miller's is fine because there's no obvious company logo.

Wait...Operation Patience is not a company name...seems like they enforce only when they want to.
