Prohm's Ties

[JP4CY]

Might be petty, but I've noticed in multiple games that Prohm isn't wearing any Cardinal and/or Gold . Now, usually this is covered with some kind of tie, and I'd think it'd go without saying that's part of your game day wardrobe. It actually drove me nuts in the game at Kansas that he was wearing a BLUE tie, who does that? I saw against TCU it was some sort of Lime Green. It may be petty but I really can't grasp the idea of not sporting the colors in some way. Thought I'd check and see if there was some story behind it, maybe the ties are some kind of fundraiser/awareness thing.

He has a game by game rotation each year as he got a bulk deal of 30 ties at JcPenny’s

But he'll need 40 this year.

I forget what game it was but didn't last year Prohm wear a black tie that had "TIME OUT" in bold white lettering on it? If I recall correctly I smiled, chuckled to myself and thought "well, I've never seen that before. Meh, who cares, as long as his wife loves him and his players listen to him then he can wear whatever he wants"

One year later, a similar situation arises, my thought process hasnt changed. But, I bet that TIME OUT tie really boiled the OP's blood.

Probably had something to do with this:

Cy seems unusually testy this morning. But you can always count on Chuckd to make it about Bill Self and Ku. Lime green grinning.

I enjoy Bill Self! I do not enjoy Surly.

FOUND IT on google images! I love this guy. This has "my son just got me this tie for Christmas and I don't care what you all think, I'm gonna wear it because it'll make him giggle" wrote all over it.

People have spent so many keystrokes worrying about Prohm's fashion. I can't even believe this happens.

Fashion is serious business

Also, my daughters recently informed me that some of the most famous social media celebrities in the world are makeup artists and then they had me watch a video from one. It was as painful as it sounds.

Are we done here?

You know we’re not.

Makes sense. Los Angeles is farther from FBI headquarters than Lawrence.

Tougher to get to Lawrence though. They can fly directly to LA. Who wants to fly to the middle of flipping Kansas?

 

[mdk2isu]

No contest. Stanley would eat both their lunches.

FIFY

 

[JM4CY]

I would gladly help myself to that bottle....

 

[harimad]

You're absolute correct. This is very petty.

Ouch.

 

[IASTATE07]

It's not a hating on Prohm, I just don't understand why any coach who wears a suit and tie can't represent team colors in some fashion. At the very least consciously decide every game to not wear an opposing team's color.

Why does it matter?

 

[jmb]

How can anyone be worried about Prohm's tie when he hasn't even fixed his slacks yet? One thing at a time, guys!

WTF. Are you 89 years old? Slacks? Slacks? Step up YOUR game.

 

[jcyclonee]

Now that this thread has been JLH'd I suppose I better check my phone to see if anything important is coming up.

I think it foolish they wear suits at all. I would have no problem with them dressing the way football coaches do.

Has to be uncomfortable out there. The last thing I want to be doing is sweating in dress clothes.

Why does it matter?

It's athletics, your colors are your brand, it's part of your uniform. Does it matter as in anybody is going to lose sleep over it? Of course not. But basketball coaching wardrobes are the outlier here.

- Baseball coaches and managers were their team uniforms.
- Football coaches all wear matching team attire.
- Wrestling coaches are a mixed bag, but donning a team color is the norm.
- Basketball coaches just wake up and toss on whatever they find in their closet that day. In context of athletics as a whole, especially in the era of apparel contracts, the lack of branding or consistency is certainly an oddity.

For the fun police in here, blame/email JP. These are the discussions we must resort to with no midweek basketball game on the schedule.

Remember Larry and his black mock turtlenecks? The key to the Elite Eight run.

GD, Steve, take that suit off and put on real coaching attire.
