Maddon's dress code: 'If you think you look hot, you wear it'
It's no secret Joe Maddon runs one of the most relaxed clubhouses in the majors, so it shouldn't be surprising the Chicago Cubs won't have high fashion expectations in 2016.
"If you think you look hot, you wear it," Maddon told reporters Sunday. "That's the dress code. And again, I'll give you my take. I've always rallied against the fact that the previous generation really frowns upon non-collared shirts, which I've never understood. They've always been in favor of the collared shirt, and that being more acceptable than the non-collared shirt. I've never understood that logic when it comes to dress ... The $5,000 suit on the airplane ride makes no sense to me whatsoever."
Maddon is certainly practicing what he's preaching at camp. Here's a look at some of his best spring training looks to this point:
