The Gonzaga University men's basketball team has always shown what it means to abide by the pregame dress code.
We are used to seeing the athletes in their team's attire on our TV screens. However, before every game, players dress up to give us a glimpse of their personal style and use the entryway into the stadium as their makeshift runway.
With the team set to host Kraziness in the Kennel on Oct. 8, let’s take a look at the top 10 gameday fits in the program's history.
Julian Strawther’s outfit was simple and not overly flashy like some of the others on this list. But sometimes comfy outfits outclass style.
The outfit was worn in the winter, so a puffer jacket with a black hoodie underneath and baby blue Nike Air Force Ones made for an appropriate outfit.
His fit was complimented by fellow Zag Rasir Bolton, who commented, “Drip King” on the post.
Former GU point guard and current Indiana Pacers rookie Andrew Nembhard's outfit was a perfect example of dressing subtle.
It lacked flashy colors, but the outfit looked good regardless with the black hoodie, backward cap, ripped jeans and black Nike Air Max shoes.
This one was another simple outfit as Aaron Cook rocked a custom white hoodie with some fun designs with blue jeans and high-top Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 OG shoes. Like Nembhard’s outfit, there was nothing wrong with a simple and easy color scheme.
Although Jalen Suggs will always be remembered for his game-winning shot in the NCAA tournament, his outfits were equally as impressive.
The fit was easy on the eyes as well, as he sported a flannel with a red and black pattern. The black ripped jeans compliment both colors with a rose image on the top corner of the pants. He gets points for the neck chain which always looks good.
Former Zag Geno Crandall was underrated in terms of his on-court play and his off-court style.
The outfit had both an aesthetic beauty and a great message as he rocked a yellow sweater with a message stating “Respect, Protect, Love Black Woman.”
Crandall also rocked black sweatpants with white stripes on each side with black spots. He topped it off with yellow and black retro Nike Air Max shoes that matched his overall color scheme.
Nembhard makes the list again as he sported another simple fit.
What really made the outfit stand out was the Nike puffer jacket and the low-top Nike shoes.
Anton Watson wore a nice puffer jacket with a GU patch, along with a black shirt that had an image of Naruto and Goku together with the caption, “Modern Rockstars.” He then topped the outfit off with a neck chain and white converse.
3. Greg Foster Jr. on Feb. 2, 2019.
Foster's outfit was a homage to the viral image of a young wrestler and actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He also wore a neck chain with a black turtleneck sweater, but added some of his own flair as he added glasses, green pants and black and white Van Pro Skates.
Oumar Ballo topped off an outer space look with a pale blue jean jacket, a tie-dyed shirt and splash paint pants that look like the Andromeda galaxy.
He finished the look with a pair of Jordan high tops that don't match any colors of the outfit, but still compliment the pale color of his jacket.
Strawther won the No. 1 spot with a bit of flair as he sported a multi-colored jacket and a black T-shirt of Super Bowl XXIX (29) in which the San Francisco 49ers defeated the San Diego Chargers in Miami, Florida.
He topped off the look with a pair of Nike SB lows that match the jacket's colors.
Former Zag Joel Ajayi posted a comment saying “Fit crazy @julianstrawther.” Also, Corey Kispart: “Ju woke up this morning and decide to make the rest of us look bad @julianstrawther 😂😂”.
