Default Men and Jewelry

IMO, the only jewelry guys should wear are watches, a crucifix, and wedding rings. Everything is absurd, and gawdy.

Article about NBA's dress code

yeah it is a sports article, but thats not the point. This man has 4 chains that he wears. I am also so sick of all this stupid ass rappers wearing gigantic medallions that spin, diamond incrusted belt buckels, platinum fronts, and million dollar ear rings. When did this become a black thing, for all black guys to wear millions of dollars of jewelry? Also, frat boys with earrings just signify's even moreso that they are gay.

The only acceptable excuse for a man to be wearing earrings is that he is a pirate.

Anyone else hate it when men wear jewelry?

Actually what annoys me about this is the way the players are crying racism, in a league whose players almost completely black.

Ageism is the correct call here, not racism. Alonzo Mourning vs Allen Iverson not Steve Nash vs Allen Iverson.

I don't hate it, but I do snicker and feel superior when I see it.

How black is the NBA front office? They're trying to market to the affluent white folks who can afford floor tickets and luxury boxes.

Very good post! I pretty much do the same thing. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

And you're right a wedding ring is a restraining device, not jewelry.

crucifixes are too goddy for my taste.

i actually bought my only piece of jewelry this weekend. my gf and i went to a wedding, and i had a french cuff shirt. so we stopped by and bought some fairly simple silver cufflinks. i noticed that those are not covered in the NBA dress code.

i think a watch, a chain, a wedding ring, cufflinks, and maybe a tie pin is the most jewelry a man should ever need. i like the dress code.

A crucifix? Way to advertise your brainwashed status.
