The NFL has loosened its rules on uniforms over the years, going as far as letting teams wear alternate helmets this season. However, the league is still apparently very strict about the length of players pants.
Matt Gay tweeted a few photos of himself in uniform on Friday, calling out the NFL for its rule about pant length. You might notice, his pants look a little long and awkwardly fitting, but it seems that’s the way the NFL wants players – specifically kickers – to wear them.
In his tweet, Gay implies he was fined $5,000 for the length of his pants in the opener against the Bills.
How to dress as a kicker in the @NFL per @nflcommish to avoid a $5k pant length fine. Thanks guys now I feel safe and can do my job super well
