SAN DIEGO — Willie Buchanon will be on the field at Super Bowl LVI, clipboard in hand, ready to give players a dressing down — or up — if needed.
He'll be one of two official NFL uniform inspectors patrolling SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, hired to make sure players' shirts are tucked in, socks pulled up, team colors displayed, gold necklaces hidden from view and personal messages aren't etched into black under-eye paint or mouth guards.
He also will be on the lookout for unapproved cleats, laces of the wrong color and anything, including headphones and knee braces, that might display a logo or brand name that the NFL hasn't officially sanctioned.
