Inside the Ropes: NBC Team to Wear PM Gear

As alluded to in the Peter Millar S/S 2010 preview, NBC and PM have agreed to a partnership wherein the NBC golf and production team - think Miller, Hicks, Roberts, Pepper, McCord, etc. will be sporting Peter Millar apparel beginning in early December at Sherwood for the Chevron World Challenge. 

A very exciting announcement for those familiar with the Peter Millar brand - as the sophisticated colors, materials and textures of PM offerings are a sort of new level of look for NBC's team and a much-needed facelift. Our only hope here is that they get as creative as possible with the looks and really use the serious depth of PM's menswear collection to get these guys looking sharp and sophisticated. We're picturing layering techniques like a quilted vest under a sportcoat and exotic leather belts for the on-course guys. I wonder sometimes who styles for those guys - would be a fun job. KC consulting services is always open for business...Look us up.
