I’m not sure when it happened, but at some point, future NBA and NFL players started caring about the outfits they were seen in during the biggest night of their life, the league draft.
And while former Kentucky Wildcats star and current Philadelphia 76ers player Nerlens Noel rocked a replica jersey sewn into his suit the night of his NBA draft in 2013, a couple of Notre Dame Irish football players are taking things to an extreme level, because they’re getting photos of themselves screen printed inside their suits.

According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, the suits are custom designed by some company called ESQClothing, who have teamed up with outgoing Irish players Ronnie Stanley and Jaylon Smith to put the suits on display during the NFL draft in the next few weeks.

There have been some ugly suits over the history of league drafts, so I’m seriously struggling to decide if these are fresh as fuck or just something that should be tossed into the garbage.
