There's nothing understated about the NFL draft.

In fact, it's become such a high-profile night that there's a movie being filmed at this year's event.

But the league has gone too far with one stunt. In what seems to be a new tradition, the league on Thursday had several men dressed in tuxedos carry the teams' caps in to Radio City Music Hall.

The hats were put in airtight glass cases and paraded down the red carpet.

It seems ambitious to even have a red carpet at the NFL draft. It's not a movie premiere, after all.

Tom Ley of Deadspin might have put it best when he wrote "These guys are carrying stupid football hats in glass cases like each one of them is the f-----g Hope Diamond."

It trivializes and (further) commercializes the draft to have the hats paraded down the red carpet. The event is about players and teams, not the apparel.

If you thought Nike was done altering NFL jerseys after revamping every team's uniform last year, think again.

About one month ago a photo leaked of what some thought was a new Jacksonville Jaguars uniform. And, according to uniform expert Paul Lukas, the image may indeed be a sneak peek at what Jacksonville will wear next year.

Lukas confirmed that the image was legitimate, and also learned several other interesting tidbits about the Jaguars' new jerseys:

-- The Jaguars' new uniforms will have a military theme. Among other things, that means that the players' last names will appear on the front of the jersey.

-- The Jaguar logo will be "somewhat larger than normal" for an NFL helmet. It could be similar to Boise State's Pro Combat helmet.

Lukas, for one, isn't a fan of the changes:

"if it is accurate," he writes, "it certainly sounds like a total freaking nightmare on nearly every conceivable level."

Lukas cautions that none of this information is official, but this man is the internet's foremost uniform expert, so if you're going to trust anyone's sources, it should be his.

Iman Shumpert, the New York Knicks forward known as much for his smooth beats as for his cool hairstyle, has found one 'do that is too much for the NBA.

Shumpert, who endorses Adidas, recently shaved the company's logo into the back of his head. While it might have seemed like a good idea and a neat tribute to Adidas, the NBA was not smiling.

The league contacted Shumpert and forced him to remove the logo, citing a rule in the NBA's rule book: "The only article bearing a commercial 'logo' which can be worn by players is their shoes."

So Shumpert shaved the logo, and now all he's got is an empty triangle. He posted a photo on Instagram of the two looks.

"#banned," Shumpert wrote. "sry @nba didn't realize there were branding issues wit da logo #iPUToN."

At least Shumpert's etching was for his actual sponsor. A few years ago, Marcin Gortat found himself in an uncomfortable situation after Reebok, with whom he had a shoe contract, discovered he had a Jordan Brand/Nike tattoo on his leg.

It is unclear if Shumpert was fined for the logo, but if he was, his is perhaps the second most bizarre fine handed out by the NBA this year. Earlier in the year, the NBA fined San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich $250,000 for sending his star players home instead of having them take the court against the Miami Heat.

The league has also had some issues with social media. Last year it fined J.R. Smith for a graphic twitter photo and Amar'e Stoudamire for using a slur in a direct message. Earlier this year, Stephen Jackson was set back $25,000 for threatening Serge Ibaka on Twitter and Mark Cuban was fined for criticizing officials.

Normally one to impress fans and television viewers with his suits, broadcaster Craig Sager switched things up on Tuesday and instead wore an eye-catching tie.

USA Today's Nicole Auerbach took the accompanying photo in Dayton, Ohio, where the opening round of the NCAA tournament took place. As you can see, Sager's brilliant tie features small brackets. How fitting for March Madness.

Sager told USA Today that he had a specialized bracket tie made last year, and he liked it so much he wanted another one. But, of course, Sager couldn't simply wear a customized tie. He needed an entire outfit.

"It's total silk. It's just plain, looks like a piece of paper," Sager said. "I also have a shirt I bought that hopefully ties together the black and the white. I bought a new pocket square, too."

For now, Sager has decided not to write team names into the lines on his tie. But he said if his alma mater, Northwestern, ever gets invited to the tournament, he might have to change up his outfit.

"There's a chance I could (write) teams in, but I don't think I'm going to do that until Northwestern finally gets invited," Sager said. "I'll wear a purple one then."
