did the NBA nullify their "dress code" policy after Iverson left?

[King Karim]

I just ask b/c of how i see players dress now, and I'm watching KD and Russell WESTBrook
KD got a hat, bookbag and hoodie, and WestBrooke looks like he is going to a video shoot for FUTURE.

 

[DoubleClutch]

Right. Clearly they just were hating on AI. ANYTHING goes these days in NBA fashion.

 

[jwinfield]

I don't even think it was ever really enforced

 

[Ashyneezz]

What dress code?

 

[bl2k8]

They got lax on it. Pretty much when he rap baggy clothes era died they didn't give a shyt anymore

 

[BXKingPin82]

[HHR]

It worked, cats stopped dressing like they were on the corner, and they stopped caring

It was always about appeasing the money

 

[HoopLife]

After the game he hit the club and too the state in a Rich Homie Quan cover band

 

[The Villain]

cause all the goofy outfits opened them up to a bigger, more affuent ticket and merch buying audience than the hip hop audience.

i'll admit i don't remember all the details, but wasn't it more about how they were dressed on the bench/courtside?

Stern's dress code stated that all players must dress in business or conservative attire while arriving and departing during a scheduled game, on the bench while injured, and when conducting official NBA business (press interviews, charity events, etc.). The new dress code banned fashions most often associated with hip-hop culture, specifically: jerseys, jeans, hats, do-rags, T-shirts, large jewelry, sneakers and Timberland style boots.[3]

This particular clothing is not allowed to be worn by players to interviews, games (on and off the bench), charity events, or any other occasion affiliated with the NBA or the NBDL. Violators of the dress code are fined and may be suspended with repeat offenses.[4] The dress code was developed with the intention of combating image problems that have plagued the NBA in recent history.

Under current NBA dress regulations, if a player does not dress to participate in a game, he must dress in a manner suitable for a coach. In the NBA, a suit or a sport coat is required for coaches,[3] but anecktie is not required.
