Agree with everyone else that it would have been so much easier if prom was an event we scheduled on the calendar if we wanted it. So so many players from so many countries do not have a prom or anything like it, seems odd to have it forced. I personally hated prom, but back then it was 100% presumed hetero, the most daring thing anyone did was the guy who came in full Scottish formal dress, a formal kilt and all.
Hey that would be so cool as an option for men for formal wear! I saw a guy in a casual modern kilt, it was Ike, canvas with a hammer loop.
Like a Carharrt Kilt ?
