I remember when WWE had a dress code every one had to adhere to, except Taker and Cena of course. They had gimmicks to protect

Bill Watts did this in Mid-South too, and I recall Jim Duggan being exempt for similar reasons.

WCW had one at one point too. Jericho talked about being yelled at by Benoit for looking like a slob so he hurried to the store and put together an ensemble he called "child late for Sunday School."

Dudes with power/authority issues get to yell at you if you do not abide by the dress code

Big guys in properly tailored suits look cool as gently caress. See: hockey players showing up for games.

It’s outdated now, but there was a time when that was office attire and the arena was their office. As a mental check it’s helpful. Was already getting old in the 90s though.

I was advised, back in the day, to not wear a tie to work because ties meant salesman and I was service. I needed people to trust me. But I digress.

back in the 90s and early aughts, nba players (black) and other athletes (black ones) and (black) entertainers dressed casually and in baggy clothes. sure, it might be a $5k ensemble, not including jewelry, but this disturbed and frightened the monied and connected because they (black) dressed like "thugs." gallons of ink were used at newspapers and hours spent on talking head TV and sports radio stations talking about what a terrible example these "thugs" (black) were having on our children.

the NBA instituted a dress code in the mid aughts, which banned:

quote:

Sleeveless shirts
Shorts
T-shirts, jerseys, or sports apparel (unless appropriate for the event (e.g., a basketball clinic), team-identified, and approved by the team)
Headgear of any kind while a player is sitting on the bench or in the stands at a game, during media interviews, or during a team or league event or appearance (unless appropriate for the event or appearance, team-identified, and approved by the team)
Chains, pendants, or medallions worn over the player's clothes
Sunglasses while indoors
Headphones (other than on the team bus or plane or in the team locker room)

noted menswear aficionado and future guy who wore a du-rag in court with an oversized crucifix after saying the n-word on tape, hulk hogan, instituted a similar dress code at one of restaurants.

https://www.tmz.com/2014/09/25/hulk-hogan-dress-code-beach-restaurant-black-clothes/

basically, people with more money or influence than grown men with lots of money and influence, successfully painted black dudes as criminals because they wore different clothes than ownership or journalists.

now, forced to dress like white people wanted them to, no one would ever complain about how black people dressed, acted, or protested against racism ever again and no one ever said anything about kaepernick or cam newton and we all lived happily ever after
