I would agree with Tony B, I think that it is an attempt to "corporatize" (yeah, I made that up) the league, in terms of appearance.
However, I don't think that there is anything culturally specific about baggy pants or gold chains. That is just ridiculous--and speaks to a whole nother proble m about what confused for culture these days.

Exactly @ last paragraph.
I definitely think that last year's brouhaha was an impetus for this dress code among other things.
I know in junior high and high school, our basketball players, men and women, had to dress nicely -- no jeans or tennis shoes at all. I don't think football had to do it or spring sports either. I can't remember. I just know during the winter of 1990, it was lovely to see AP in a shirt and tie.
