This player, like many, had his ankle tape applied over the outside of his shoes instead of inside, which obviously covered the shoe logo. And he was drawing the logo of his shoe contract on the tape.Wouldn't it be easier, I asked him, to get taped inside and not have to do the artwork?Yeah, it would, he replied, but then I'd actually have to wear their damn shoes, and I hate 'em. So I wear the brand I like and do it this way instead. [/
