Forget the pattern - why the hell is the man wearing a bowling shirt to go on tv?

Man up and wear a shirt and tie. :mad:

No shit.  Be a fucking professional.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who was offended more by that than the design on the shirt. :D

I'm guessing he, like most scientists, actually has interesting things to do and so doesn't have to spend time worrying about how he's dressed.

Most people with interesting things to do can spare some time to think about how they are dressed when they are going to appear on TV.
Most people can, but some don't need to.

That's my point;  you want to be a slob at work, that's fine, but if you're going to present yourself on television at least dress appropriately.  You're not just representing yourself, you're representing the program.  Follow the Bull Durham rule.

Doesnt apply to this guy though.  This wasnt about him.  Nobody actually cares about him. This was about the project he is representing.

He's dressed pretty much like professional scientists always dress.  Being a slob is part of the image.

But that's the thing about wearing a shirt and tie - you DON'T have to think about it.

On the other hand, it seems like this guy gave a lot of thought into buying that particular shirt. :hmm:

If it was really designed by his twitter friend, he was probably trying to do her a favor by wearing it on TV.

Yeah, people from all over will now know who to contact if they want to look like an idiot on TV.

He's better than 99.9% of the people who show up on TV, just by having something interesting to say.  What he wears really doesn't matter.
