NHL's Richards Ties With Tees

The future of the NHL, currently in its second work stoppage since 2004, may be in the hands of federal mediators, but some players are taking matters into their own hands. For example, Brad Richards, forward and alternate captain for the New York Rangers, has found another area of opportunity. The 32-year-old has signed a two-year deal with UnTuckIt, a New York-based designer of men's shirts, Tees and polos specifically made to be worn outside pants, aka untucked, "while still looking smart and polished." Richard will appear in marketing for the brand and already is featured on the company's Web site, sans hockey gear. Among Richards' interests beyond hockey is wine, a passion he shares with UnTuckIt CEO and founder Chris Riccobono. As a result, each style in the UnTuckIt collection is named after a wine, including the Nebbiolo, the Valpolicella and the Medoc.
