I just think it's kind of hypocritical - the flamboyant guy who wore durags, chains, rings, etc. and was all about projecting that image now tells his players they can't do the same thing.
I get why he's doing it and most coaches do it, it just seems weird coming from him.

These pictures you posted are just pictures of him..not him in a team meeting or really even in a football setting.
He has also never said the guys can’t wear durags, chains, rings etc. and express themselves or “project an image” (whatever that means).
I’m not sure why this is such a hard concept for some of you to understand. He has said IN MEETINGS players can’t wear hats, hoods, or jewelry. He had never said outside of meetings (for example, in the football facility, outside of the football facility, etc.) players can’t wear hats, hoods, durags, chains, rings, have tattoos or wear their hair a certain way etc. to express themselves.
When I played we had much of the same standards. No hats or cell phones in meetings, sit up straight in your chair. Sit in the front row in classes and show up to class early. No jewelry on in the weight room or on the practice field.
The standards Deion is putting in place are not out of the ordinary for any other P5 program
