Being a member of a sports team can mean a lot of things. It signifies belonging, pride in one's ability to contribute to a group and the determination to succeed. What can severely mar this idea is not having unique sportswear for the team. Nothing feels more authentic than putting on an old team jersey.a[rel~='nofollow']{outline:.14em dotted red !important; outline-offset:.2em;}a[rel~='nofollow'] > img{outline:thin dotted red !important; outline-offset:.2em;}

Being a member of a sports team can mean a lot of things.

What can severely mar this idea is not having unique sportswear for the team. Nothing feels more authentic than putting on an old team jersey.

Printed t shirts and embroidered polo shirts can contain any logo, with the team name besides it. This method of t shirt printing has many obvious advantages over sportswear that one can find off the shelf. The first is a feeling of uniqueness and individuality. If a team uniform is off a shelf than the team simply becomes only a team, a group of people defined by some cheap t shirts. However, with a custom printed uniform a team player knows they are the only individual in the world with that specific uniform. It brings to focus the contribution that person has to the team and the responsibility and hard work that the uniform represents.

Custom sportswear also is necessary for competitive play. It may be intimidating for a team to go up against another team that does have their own set of custom sportswear. How will a team with sportswear off the shelf at a sports store be remembered by other teams competing against them?

  Another reason not to use cheap off the shelf sportswear is it is kind of hard to strip a player from their uniform if they can simply just go buy another one at the local sports store. When a player is stripped off an official sports team uniform, there is simply no way to get it back. A player will feel that they have to work hard to avoid their uniform being stripped.

Using non-custom sportswear can also just feel downright phony. When a sports team feels phony than players are much more likely to drop out. This effect can quickly multiply, resulting in several or more players dropping from the team. Players don't like to feel like they are wasting their time, and cheap uniforms with no official markings can really support this type of feeling.

The last reason a sports team should have official sports wear is because it’s who they are. They are a member of a team, and thus deserve to be treated like one. Besides, would you want your players children to look at their sports pictures years from now and then have to ask them what team they played for?
