Why do college players wear T-shirts under their jerseys and NBA players don't?

[QUOTE=pillage]Rules in NBA are more strict, plus most players do it because they're insecure about their frame. Being in the NBA theyre usually bigger. ;)

Most heard reason is bc the fabric of jerseys irritate them.

*I read Ewing started the 'trend' when he wore a shirt under his jerseys because he used to catch a cold. I call bull****.[/QUOTE]


sounds odd but i get simular affects if i dont wear something under the jersey like a thick singlet or underarmour

Do you reckon the Bulls would drop their 'no headbands' rule for LeBron?

i dont understand what is that bad about a headband, out of all the things they wear in the nba that is actualy worthy thing to wear.


maybe they jus hate iverson

bulls would definitely drop that rule if lebron would enter the team...

but jordan never wore one?

They wear them in college because they can. They don't wear them in the Nba because it's against the dress code.

Jordan wasnt used to wearing one thats why...

You'll never see an Orlando player with a head band.

Bulls had that rule to clean-up chicago during the eddie robinson days. dunno about the heat and orlando.

Regarding Tshirts, maybe they don't want to show their armpits lol

exactly...if nba players were allowed to, they would. if you ever see footage of an nba practice, half the guys are wearing long sleaved shirts and sweatpants while they practice.

Whatever. T-shirts under jerseys is a stupid look.

I think that's mainly to keep warm since you're not doing full court sprinting, etc..

I've seen a pic of an NBA rookie (name doesn't come to mind, but I think he played for the Suns) who wore a t-shirt under his NBA jersey. Wish I could find that trading card again.

[QUOTE=TheWitness]i dunno why...

even james was wearing a t-shirt like thingy in his Highschool days...

thats even highschool and not College...[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that LeBron wore sleeves to cover his tatoos.

No headband rule also applies to the jazz
