Untucked!

Grantland has another fascinating 30 for 30 short film, UNTUCKED:
Marquette University’s men’s basketball team won its only national championship in 1977 — and did it wearing famously untucked jerseys. Commissioned by legendary coach Al McGuire, this subtly subversive uniform was designed by player and art major Bo Ellis. The jersey would later be banned by the NCAA, but this story tells how the power of a uniform allowed a championship team to flourish.
"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “isn't this a perfect opportunity to remind everyone of how awesome Al McGuire was?" 

Sigh. Yes, faithful readers. Yes it is.
