Actually, the incorrect wearing of the throwback uniform was revealing. The throwback uniform includes a unique sock. Players, however, wore a wide variety of socks of THEIR choosing.
Players did THEIR own thing, rather than showing up as a uniform team...which was reflected in performance. Not blaming the players, entirely. The coaching staff tolerates this environment.
This is the reality of today's "i" culture that is pervasive in society in general - first and foremost the individual will do what "i" want. With this attitude embedded in the subconscious of lndividuals today, the true highly performing "team" - in sports, work, or any other area of life is rare and very difficult to cultivate and maintain.
