DERBY CITY CLASSIC DRESS CODE

A lot of people are hung up on Polo shirts and slacks of some sort.

They want the players to look like Maytag salesmen working in Sears back in the 70s.
I don't have any issues with dress codes for other major events. And I default to polos and slacks for those because, well... It's what you see golf pros wearing. And I don't want them to go back to suits or tuxedos or anything like that. Those are uncomfortable for the players and it's outdated. So what would you recommend? And I don't mean that in a challenging dickish way. I'm seriously asking just for conversation's sake.

Another thing I've been thinking about... How many of the people here who have strong opinions about The Derby's dress code have actually been to The Derby? How many of you went during The Executive West days? I'll be the first to admit that one of the reasons I don't want any kind of actual dress code at The Derby is because I know what it was and I'd like to keep as much of that as we reasonably can. Granted, it got "a little" hairy there the last couple of years. But, man... For several years it was the closest thing I've ever experienced to real magic and was a seriously good time for the vast majority of the people who attended.
