REDCAR Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 According to a report [below] SM has introduced a dress code for all players to arrive at matches in suits rather than a tracky. Whats that all about then... sure we will see soon if the truth come Sat'dee! http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/off-the-pitch/derby-county/news/mcclaren-introduces-dress-code_111624.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCAR Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 TBH, the Kappa stuff I saw them coming out the ground in was horrific.I'm all for a nice suit... but how will the players react to that (again, if all true). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Good. Tracksuits are for gangsters and chavs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Good move if it's true, I'd ban the wearing of headphones an' all (except on the coach like) Let's have them looking like footballers as opposed to rappers.

It's really annoying when players shake hands with people without removing headphones. So I'll-mannered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnieronalde Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 What a load of tosh. For people like me who work in the real world I can understand it. I put on a suit, I'm ready for business. Footballers? For them to be ready for business they need the suit off as quickly as possible. I'd say for 90% of footballers a suit is the least natural thing to put on. (you've got the odd 10 per cent who are usually nancy superstars or wanna be flash harries). Proper footballers come to work in tracky and trainers, that's THEIR work suit. That's them getting ready for business. Suits are for weddings and special occasions not for football matches. I'd be amazed if someone like Steve who seems to be really in touch with players would force something like this onto them. It's pointless. If it's true, Then really, Steven? if that's cutting edge coaching and forward thinking, then I'm a dutchman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Anything that gets the players out of those crappy Kappa tracksuits is a positive, bet the players will be happy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can just go co-op travel agents instead, then they won't look out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnieronalde Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 They were in suits before the Leeds home game I saw it . Understandable, managers first home game in charge, big occasion. Maybe Steve's trying to instill that every home game is a special occasion, maybe I was being harsh before, I just think it's such a pointless thing to change. Footballers aren't particularly comfortable in suits. They're just not. They don't want to be out on the pitch in suits. You can't do keepy ups and flick ons wearing a pair of winkle pickers, I should know, I tired it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I think the source for this might not be Mcclaren but the Yan... erm Americans. NHL, NFL and so on follow these dresscodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Anything is better than them tracksuits. No wonder he's making them wear suits. They're professionals so any other work place would expect you to have a decent dress code. Wearing tracksuits makes you look a tramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenbyRam Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I saw them going into the city ground on tv wearing those cheap tacky Kappa tracksuits. They looked a mess. It's "professional" football so looking smart is a good thing in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodleyRam Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Don't see a problem with it. Look smart, act professional, get on with it. I don't see any of the players complaining to be honest. It's only on matchdays, they can rock up in whatever they like to training can't they? It's not like we're imposing a school uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
