Little League Uniforms

Bahama or anyone...

what's with the uniforms this year. They suck. They are really bad. Half the teams are wearing t-shirts with logos on them. I don't remember that growing up or in the previous years.

If it's because the cost has gotten so high for the parents, I completely understand and retract the statement. But if its some kind of new trend, where kids can get away with t-shirts it looks kind of lame. I mean, little league w.s. is such a tradition and all, at least make the kids dress presentable.

just a thought

the variations are unreal, aren't the BDB... i noticed the same thing.... some teams in BEAUTIES, and other in Tees.

about all i can tell you is that the kids have to supply their own uniforms, and some kids come from much poorer districts than others.... the shirts and hats for all-star teams are at their own expense (and they take what they can get from donations, so SUPPORT your local teams to help them look good on TV ) Once they make it to Williamsport, they are supplied with LLWS hats for their specific district, but i don't think it will help the variation in uniforms


NWLL comes from a lower to middle class neighborhood in Davenport, but they sure have nice (washable) uniforms for their boys (they are turned back in at the end of each season tho)

we wore t-shirts when i was growing up, but i am from a pretty small town.

we had actual uniforms when we made an elite team, though.
