For several reasons.

One of the reasons I'm just poking fun in general at dress codes, which I totally don't believe in.

I don't understand why you would think that I'm going to gain discipline from you by forcing you to wear a $2,000 suit and how that translates to wins.

I have no idea.

So I've always felt that way.

So part of it's poking fun.

The other part is risk-taking and team-building.

Again, to walk into crowded hotels in the middle of big cities dressed awkwardly for you, something that you're really not accustomed to, there's a little bit of risk involved in that in regards to how you feel about yourself.

And in the team building, when you all walk in, that way it's okay.

So there's a lot of different reasons, but primarily it was motivated by just poking fun a little bit at dress codes in general, which I totally disagree with.

Well, I did.

I did.

And I actually wore a tie on this trip just because I normally wouldn't.

I bought a white suit a couple years ago because we started this tradition of all white into Miami.

It's just the Miami Vice motivation back in the day was a solid show.

And so we're just trying to pay tribute to that.

And the guys really get into it.

We've had some great photographs with the all white.

We've had the...

the urban cowboy trip to Colorado that we turned into the midnight cowboy trip from Colorado to New York City.
