NBA Reportedly Modifies Dress Code for Season Restart in Orlando

The NBA announced modifications to its dress code for the resumption of the 2019-20 season in Orlando, removing the requirement for sport coats on the bench in favor or polos and other league apparel.

Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported the changes:

The NBA instituted its dress code in 2005. Stringent upon inception, the rigid rules have loosened in recent years to allow players to express themselves with fashion, though sport coats remained required for inactive players on the bench.

The rules for the NBA's resumption in Orlando seemingly resemble the looser feel of summer league, which requires some uniformity but is far more relaxed.

Players who are not playing are also expected to adhere to social distancing protocols during games.
