Christoph Kramer Criticizes Amazon Prime Dress Code for Champions League Coverage

The complaint points to cultural friction over on-air style across Prime’s European teams.

Overview

  • Speaking on the Copa TS podcast ahead of Tuesday’s Real MadridBayern broadcast, Kramer said Prime bans sneakers and tightly limits what pundits can wear.
  • Kramer argued the wardrobe brief comes from England and said Italian colleagues face fewer limits, which he framed as a double standard inside the company.
  • He described the policy as outdated and said formal looks do not suit him, which he feels undercuts his on-screen comfort and style.
  • Kramer said he gets regular complaints and email warnings about his outfits, so he now packs and plans clothing more carefully for Prime assignments.
  • Reports quoting his remarks did not include an Amazon Prime response, and they note that broadcasters often set strict on-air dress rules that vary by country.
