Why do football players wear long-sleeved shirts and sleeveless vests in NBA?

The NBA finals were over before, but those fans who love sports are not idle. Because the four-year World Cup has already begun, you will definitely find an interesting phenomenon when watching the World Cup, that is, football players wear long-sleeved clothes, while basketball players in NBA schools wear sleeveless vests. So why is there such a big difference between the two?

The biggest difference between basketball and football is that football needs legs and feet most for the body, and the main purpose of his upper body is to keep his body balanced. Basketball needs a more comprehensive body. It not only requires you to run on the court, but also requires a lot of hand movements, so if NBA players wear those long sleeves, they will sweat a lot. If this is a player with long sleeves, the sweat will be absorbed on them and affect their competitive state.

At the same time, if a basketball player wears long sleeves, it is not conducive to the referee's penalty, because the referee may think that the defender touched your body and you just touched his clothes. Therefore, in order to avoid such a questioning penalty, the NBA has clearly stipulated the issue of dress. It is worth mentioning that basketball tests players' explosive power more than football, so they naturally sweat more, so NBA jerseys are designed with this in mind.

So I think the main reason why basketball and football are different in dress is that the two sports pay different attention to the body.
