Watching sports includes review of uniforms Published 10:39 am Wednesday, June 26, 2024 By Staff Report By Bonnie Brown Columnist As Tom is getting the itch for football season, he’s been watching a lot of sports. I can always tell when he’s really ready for football. He watches reruns of the Ole Miss games.
I’ve been more about observing the sports uniforms. Ralph has been busy lately at his sewing machine as he created the look for the 2024 Team USA in the Summer Olympics. Well, not Ralph himself.
“We’re so proud to dress Team USA,” David Lauren, Ralph Lauren’s chief branding and innovation officer, told CNN recently. Ralph Lauren has been designing uniforms for the athletes to wear at the opening and closing ceremonies since 2008. Let’s hope his design is better than that of the 2024 Major League Baseball uniforms designed by Nike.
It seems that the pants were made of thin and partially see-through material. The players have mixed reviews. Some think the lighter-weight jerseys “fit better and feel lighter” while other players have compared the new jerseys to “knockoffs from TJ Maxx.
” What, if any, changes in uniforms will next season bring? All sports uniforms have changed through the years to some degree. Think of the basketball pants in the 1970-1980 when the uniform consisted of short shorts and the jerseys were tight. In 1987, Michael Jordan personally requested from the NBA sports manufacturer Champion to make his shorts in a longer version.
