First things first, I’m not here to tie shame. Wear what you want, guys. Own it. Have fun.
Can we talk about Joe Buck’s Game 3 tie for a second?
Just a second, and then back to baseball.
I am here to — lightly — question what Joe Buck was thinking with his particular choice of tie for NLCS Game 3 between the Dodgers and Brewers. In case you missed the brief shot of Buck’s neckwear on the broadcast, here it is.
First of all, this tie does not even match his shirt. That’s like the bare minimum of wearing any tie. The blue is all wrong, so he can’t pretend it’s just a poorly patterned tie that he didn’t realize would clash with his shirt. It’s a bad tie AND it blatantly clashes with his shirt.
It’s also not the season for it. Joe, it’s fall right now. Fall is jewel tones and muted colors, with maybe some flair found in a nice pattern or something. This tie looks like Easter took some LSD and ended up at a baseball game by accident. Like the Easter bunny dropped a nice white tie into its stash of egg dye and just decided to roll with it.
It’s a look, is what I’m saying. And it kind of seems like Joe knows it too. “Guys, you know I had to buy a tie off a random cart in downtown LA today because the airline lost my luggage from Milwaukee. I thought we agreed there’d be no shots of the booth tonight. ”Guys, do you copy?
Not everyone is against the tie. Which is a take that should also be respected. Even if it might be wrong.
But it’s not a great tie.
