Why do basketball coaches wear suits?

Answer 1

I would not say that a manager should wear a uniform but a manager should look professional. For example, I like my managers to wear suits.

See to whom your managers will be representing themselves and ask if it is appropriate for your staff to wear a uniform, business casual, or business formal apparel. Then look to your employees. Ask what type of representation do you wish for them to see via your management staff. Then decide what you want your managers to wear.
