Why is the Men's USA Volleyball Team wearing Oakley's with no lenses?

Question

I was watching them play and was trying to figure out if their Oakley glasses had clear lenses or no lenses at all. Finally the announcer said," Oh! It's interesting the USA team is wearing Oakley glasses without lenses!". Why??!?

Answer 1

maby he broke the lenses but still like the arms

Answer 2

its probably some kind of superstition (sp?) but i noticed that too. it seems like it would be annoying, but maybe they think its good luck or something....

Answer 3

its because of a sponsor issue. the lenses were fogging up due to humidity and sweat was probably dripping in his eyes. he popped the lenses out but is still wearing the frames for sponsoring.

Answer 4

It IS due to their sponsorship. According to Oakley and their contract, Dahlhausser/Rogers have to wear Oakley's when they play. But the lenses were messing up their vision with the lights. SO they wore the frames without the lenses.

Answer 5

I believe they probably have some sort of sponsorship from oakley's and have to wear the product.  I did hear an announcer say that one of the guys' lenses fogged up so he took the lenses out.  My guess is they are obligated to wear them, so to prevent them from fogging up they are just wearing the frames without the lenses.

Answer 6

2 keep thier eyes focused on the game and not the teams tight a## shorts
