We have purchased 3 units representing the 3 sizes for the girls to try on during the uniform fitting session February 9th at noon.
Returning players are asked to bring their 'Voodoo' uniforms / pant / shirts so the team can use these for try-on and fitment.
The team has also selected 2:5 Sports as the supplier of the uniform package.
Sans serif numerals on jersey, standard bad Apples logo on front, small Bad Apples logo on top rear, no watermark logo on red uniform
We have circulated the 2 design alternatives - sleeved button down and no sleeve styles for team review
We will have red and white versions .... home and away plus blue pants that coordinate with both jersey's
The team has decided on roller style bags and we are currently looking for a brand in red / black that fits our budget.
Catchers will also receive gear bags.
Discussion was held about matching team shoes ... non-metal cleat style was agreed and we are looking for viable branding and colors / costs.
The athletes will be outfitted with coordinated socks, belts and Navy compression gear with the Bad Apples logo.
EVERYONE needs to attend the fitting session February 9th @ noon @ Memorial before the team practice!
The NEXT Parent Meeting will be held at the Goodrich School, 7 pm on Monday January 27th. This is to pull the Super Bowl squares.
We are looking for donations and help on creating 'themed' gift baskets for the Pasta Supper. Any new items, baskets, decorations or creative ideas are welcome.
Thanks
