I think it does matter. Now I don't put this in the same category as waiting for a manager to complain.
This is my jurisdiction. Chris stated above that if it was the F1 he makes him, because it does affect the game.
If its BR it doesn't affect the game, but if does affect the image of the game. I want a clean game which I can start that by having clean looking players.
Now I know in local leagues its hard, but once we get to tourney play and definitely in HS ages and up they will conform to the standards.
Why do you think MLB has such standards, because it does matter.
Now as far as how they wear the pants, some have em long, some short and how they want to bend their caps etc, that is theirs, but as far as looks, they all need their shirts in and a cap on their head.
When is the last time you've seen a college kid or a MLB player with his shirt draggin or halfway in his belt?
As was stated in the original thread, kids today have no discipline. I say "tuck your shirt in" and he says "why?".
IMO it should be because I said so and I'm the authority in this game.
Wear it how you want at home and in practice, but in a game, you will conform. Maybe I'm just old school, but I'm the adult in charge of this game and the players, coaches, mangaers, bat boys/girls and everyone else will play accordingly.
But as I stated above it can be done discreetly and no one will ever notice.
thanks
