NBA Players


Most of the time when we think of basketball players we the first thing that comes to mind is usually not how stylish they are or what sense of fashion they have. Basketball players aren’t supposed to care really what they look like in my opinion because they are recognized by all for their efforts on the court not what they look like or what designer they are wearing. I get the fact that they might want to stand out more then they already do so wearing “colors that conflict” will really make them stand out even more.
Morris compares the style of the basketball players as nerdy or preppy, which Carlton, off of the show “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” got made fun of because he looked so different compared to Will, who wore baggy clothes and hats, which was cool back then to do, no one would’ve made fun of him because he looked “normal.”
These basketball players are setting a new trend that more and more people are going to start commenting on and noticing. The more players that they get to start looking at their outfits and pay attention to what they look like this new trend will become the new “normal.” Which leads to a point of what was the “normal” back in the day? People like Carlton got made fun of and now what he wore would be thought as better then Will. Its funny to see how things can change throughout the years and that the old normal now will become the new normal.
