Family Feud Dress Code


I tried to find a good quotable section from this, but the whole thing is so insane I had to paste it all in. What an amazing amount of hoops they make contenstants jump through to appear on the show!

WARDROBE

ALL TEAM MEMBERS MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARDROBE INFORMATION

REMEMBER YOU NEED TO DRESS TO IMPRESS. You are coming to appear on television, and you need to dress accordingly. You must have a total of three outfits (bring two, wear one). Your clothing has to be clean
and pressed and have no slogans or logos (i.e. POLO, TOMMY, DKNY).

PLEASE DO NOT BRING DARK CLOTHING!!
You cannot wear ALL dark
clothing, dark bottoms (slacks & skirts) are fine but you have to wear
brightly colored tops. BRIGHT, BOLD colors look best on camera and
with our set. If you wear all black or dark clothing you will not
appear on the show. NO BLUE TOPS’. Due to the color of our
background blue tops don’t look good on the show. PLEASE AVOID
FLORESCENT & PALE COLORS
(such as light yellow and pink), as they are too bright for television. Also, avoid MIRRORS, SPARKLES OR
RHINESTONES
on all clothing. If you have an item of clothing you
love, but doesn’t quite meet our standards, bring it with you and we
will review it during your wardrobe check. Your entire body will be
seen on camera. You must wear nice pants or skirts and nice shoes.

We understand you want to express your own personal style but IF YOU
DO NOT FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES SET, YOU WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE SHOW.

Please call us if you have any questions.

**If you serve in the U.S. Military we would like you to wear your uniform.**

*WOMEN:
NO White clothing (Absolutely None), Polka dots, checks, stripes, busy prints
NO Jeans, Casual Pants (Capris) or Denim
NO Formal evening wear
NO Tennis or athletic shoes, sandals
NO Turtlenecks

*MEN:
NO White clothing (Absolutely None)
NO Polka dots, checks, stripes, plaid, small busy prints, especially on your ties.
NO Jeans or denim, Athletic or tennis shoes

YOU MUST WEAR A BELT

**Your shirt must be a long sleeve dress shirt and it must be pressed**

Bring at least three different colored, long sleeve shirts, several
ties and at least one extra pair of slacks. If you own a suit jacket
please bring it with you. We prefer you wear a lighter colored suit.
You can bring a dark colored suit (black, navy or dark grey) provided
you wear a brightly colored dress shirt and that others on your team
are not wearing dark colors. Again, if you wear all dark colors you
will not appear on the show.

HAIR & MAKE-UP

YOUR HAIR AND MAKE-UP MUST BE DONE AT HOME BEFORE ARRIVING AT THE STUDIO. We know that some women and young girls do not wear make-up. However, when you appear on camera it is necessary for women over 15 years of age to wear make-up base, lipstick and mascara. If you don’t wear some makeup, the bright studio lights will make you look very washed out (i.e. YOU WILL LOOK BAD ON TV). We do not supply make-up for health reasons. Please arrive with your hair & make-up done, there will only be time for you to do touch ups. EVERYTHING IS ON A SCHEDULE AND TIME IS PRECIOUS!

This could be one of the greatest passive-aggressive notes ever.
