The NBA is strict with the rules. LaMelo Ball left us one of the images of the day covering the neck with a bandage. The reason was surprising. The league has banned him show a tattoo on your neck during the games.
The reason? The tattoo shows the letters LF in a classic looking font. These initials are not only for LaFrance, second last name of the little Ball, but also It is the logo of your own brand which launched more than three years ago.
NBA uniform rules They prohibit players from displaying the logos of other brands to those of sneakers and uniforms. Even though it is his personal brand, the league is not going to let him do it. LaFrance does not meet the requirements.
Adrian Wojnarowski, a journalist for ESPN, exclaimed the following about this ban: “”According to Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, players are prohibited from displaying commercial logos or corporate insignia on their body or hair during matches.. Consistent with the intent of the rule and taking into account players’ efforts to express themselves in a non-commercial manner, LaMelo Ball’s neck tattoo clearly violates the rule and therefore you are forced to cover it“.
