The "Best" Uniform for My Team

Views: 416 | Email | Flag | Print |

You'd think that "What's the best uniform for my team?" would be a fairly straight-forward question. Maybe a few questions asked (How much can you spend, when do you need them, etc.) & answered would suffice. But that is not usually the case. Why?

As with so many things in team sports, the devil is in the detail. There really isn't a singular answer to a series of linear questions to determine what ultimately is the best team sports uniform for your team or school.

As disheartening as that may seem, it is true. The devil really is in the details.

First off, ususally is budget. But this simple metric is mitigated by the question: "How long do you want/need these uniforms to last? There's some really awesome unis that look fantastic -- cost accordingly -- and will NOT last more than 2 seasons for an intense elite/travel team. For some teams, (i.e., elite/travel U16-18 teams) that's the "best" option. When those SAME EXACT PLAYERS are playing for their school teams, it'd be frankly CRAZY for them to be wearing the same uniforms.

Yeah...same exact players, different circumstances...the "BEST" uniform solution is going to be DIFFERENT.

It ain't rocket science...but it sure helps to talk to some one that knows.

You rightly said, “Devil is in details”. The best uniform is which is durable for even the most vigorous sports. While choosing the best sports uniforms for your team, check out whether the weakest areas have been strengthened or not. Like shoulders, arm holes, side lengths of both shorts and jerseys should be cotton taped or should carry mesh panels to prevent damage from over stretching. Secondly, these days many hi-tech fabrics are in trends which are body-moisture wicking, easily dry and are light weight, so that players feel comfortable throughout the tournament.
