Maxx Crosby hates the NFL's uniform policies: "We've got to have more fun, Roger"

Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby says the NFL needs to let players wear whatever color shoes they want.Asked in a kick.com interview if he could be commissioner and change one thing, Crosby answered, "The shoe game."

Crosby detailed how in a game with the Eagles last season, he wore pink shoes with roses on them as a tribute to his daughter, but the NFL made him take them off, during the game."The NBA does it right. They let the players do their own shit, rock their own colors," Crosby said.

"In the NFL you can't wear any color that's off the jersey, which is low-key lame. I wore pink cleats in Philly this year, I wore them for about two, three drives. They were on the sideline, my equipment guy was looking at me with a pair of my other cleats like, 'You've got to come and take those cleats off because they're bitching about it.'

I'm like, 'Fuck that, I'm playing the rest of the series.' It was third down in the red zone, I got a sack in those pink cleats, and then I had to take them off and I could never wear them again."Crosby noted that the NFL encourages players to express themselves on their shoes with the annual My Cause, My Cleats campaign, and he sees no reason players can't pick their own shoes for every game."

NFL should just let us wear our own colors on our shoes. It's not that hard. We ain't hurting anybody," Crosby said.

"We do it every year with My Cause, My Cleats. That's the only time we get to wear different colored cleats. That's one game, or two games."

Crosby's message to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is clear."I love the NFL, but we've got to have a little more fun, Roger."
