what's the difference between a sports coat and a blazer?
The way people in general use the terms? Nothing. They're used interchangeably by most.
Traditionally, the sport coat was less formal, made from a rougher material, and worn during "sporting" activities, such as quail or fox hunting, etc. It usually had flap pockets. A blazer was more dressy, made only of wool, and typically had patch pockets with gold or silver buttons.

That's pretty accurate. Sport Coats are more casual and typically have patterns. I have a tweed, a patterned worsted wool, houndstooth and a glen plaid as well as a lighter plaid.
I have two navy and one black blazer. They are or once were a bit more formal but now most are interchangeable. I will wear a sport coat with jeans on occasion ( although I rarely wear jeans) but not a blazer with jeans even though many people do now.
I prefer a blazer or sport coat to a suit because I like buying different slacks and shirts so I can mix and match a lot more than with a suit. Many more options.
And to the OP a seersucker suit would be very appropriate and classy to wear for brunch at Commanders. A bowtie and white bucks would finish it out. Seersucker shorts, while nice, aren't appropriate. I don't think anyone meant bashing, I just think many on this board appreciate dining in a classic and quickly disappearing way. In the end it is your brunch and your money so you dress as you see fit and don't concern yourself with what others think.
