For game days Nathaniel is always, and I mean always rocking a 3 piece suit. This is our damn profession, and more people need to act like it. Unfortunately this sentiment isn't always followed by all. The rookies are usually pretty shape able and will follow the trend, but eventually there is always one jackass who wants to wear a political slogan, or some fuzzy slippers to a game. Usually this is a poor mans way to drum up conversation, Barca likes to let his play do the talking. We are payed to play hockey, and what we do to prepare for the games is largely unseen, but everything game day is witnessed by millions of people.
That's not saying he comes dressed up like a slob on non game day, but for practice / workout a simple dress shirt with no tie is enough. You are still being a professional, but there is much less public aspect about these days. Hell, you might even catch him going to the rink in shorts and sandals during summer training.
