Serious About the Dress Code

When the Pats and Tampa Bay play in London tomorrow all players should check that their uniform is in order. At every NFL game, the league office sends representatives to ensure that all players are wearing the proper colors, including socks, and not displaying any logos not approved by the league.

The league fined Bengals WR Chad Ohcocinco $10,000 this week for wearing a black chin strap instead of the league-mandated white. The league takes this policy very seriously due to sponsorships and controls the type of clothing the coaches are allowed to wear on the sidelines.

Coach Belichick must be treading a fine line with the league as he has not been wearing the throw-back equipment that is used during the AFL legacy games.
