Sorry if retarded, but does anybody know the origin/history of the hexagonal patches with a vertical line and a dot visible on head coach's left sleeves near the shoulder? Hadn't noticed them before this season.
Is the purpose to ID to the ref who is authorized to call timeouts?

Thanks. Don't forget to downvote before leaving.

Are you talking about the zipper and pouch on the Nike pullover?

Are you serious?





It's just a zipper pocket. The "dot" is a small opening so you can plug earbuds into your phone while it's in the pocket.

It's just a NIKE thing they came out with this year. All coaches who wear a jacket from Nike have them.


It doesn't distinguish a head coach from a panda bear on the field.

Yep. Thought it might be regulation. Didn't consider that it might just be marketing bs.

I don't think it's marketing as much as design.

But, hey, if you need a place to store some stuff while on the sideline...or out for a run...it might come in handy.

Actually they had then last year, but they were the same color as the jackets I bought a white one last year.

No I'm not joking. They're look huge on the arm and are as ugly as hell.
