In the world of sports, just like in life, players have rules and regulations that they must abide by, or they’re out! But just because they’re enforced doesn’t mean some rules make complete sense. Check out these five strange rules that ban seemingly normal activities in the world of sports, some without any explanation at all! The NHL Tuck Rule Having been in effect since 2013, Rule 9.5 governs uniforms and how they must be worn in the NHL.

Go figure! If players tuck their jerseys in, they’ll receive a penalty.
No branded socks or sweatbands, and definitely no haircuts styled into a logo!
