Team Uniforms

As March comes upon us, it brings spring sports and the need for new varsity uniforms. Of course, the "need" for new uniforms isn't technically a necessity, but does help the coaches who desire a more aesthetically pleasing and technologically forward team on which to impart their specific, yet boundless knowledge. New uniforms also help teams fulfill the responsibility all atheletes have to their fellow Bulldogs, namely representing BHS in a flawless and tasteful manner.

Many teams have decided upon uniforms featuring a tech fabric made from a mostly-polyester base. Companies such as Under Armor, Nike and Adidas lead the way in the production of moisture wicking materials. Coaches respect these quality garments because of the edge it gives their players during exceedingly pressure-filled situations.

The golf team faces a particularly difficult problem with uniforms stemming from the fact that they have to fill multiple values. When a golfer steps onto the links they MUST exude power AND class...this can only be accomplished through their clothing choice. Let me make myself clear: the Brandywine golf team must fulfill this minimum standard while benefitting from technologically advanced uniforms that protect them from the blazing, spring-time sun.

Recent news has shown that Nike golf apparell produces sex addicts, so that option is very well out of the question. The banana yellow pants Sergio Garcia wears during tournaments is more than enough to keep Adidas out of the equation. Any reasonable person can see that the only company which ultimately fulfills our golf teams' every need is Ralph Lauren.

Although the price tag shows a rough estimate of $300 per golfer, everyone knows that golfers can do (and pay) whatever it takes to achieve power and class. With this wardrobe, the team would benefit in ways unimaginable to many. The appointment of such finely tailored garments like a white polo matched with blue and white seersucker shorts on the Soon To Be State Champion Brandywine Golf Team would ooze confidence and comfort, thus intimidating every other team...maybe to the point of forfeit.

As the great Andre Agassi once said, "Image is Everything." Every Spring athlete here at Brandywine must hold those few yet lasting words true to their hearts. Wisdom such as that is precious. Otherwise, fans and teams alike might forget what sports are all about.
