NBA dress code

The National Basketball Association's (NBA) dress code was introduced on October 17, 2005 under NBA commissioner David Stern. The dress code was mandatory for all NBA and NBA Development League players, making the NBA only the second major professional sports league to have a dress code, after the National Hockey League.[1] The dress code went into effect at the start of the 2005–06 NBA season.[2] It was significantly relaxed shortly before the 2020 NBA Bubble.[3]
