Evidence of coming things




The fabric for the football jerseys has arrived.


The first order of business was to make a prototype of the desired design. Our previous jersey was fine for a beginning, but could stand some improvement in certain areas. After sketching and conferring with assorted players and coaches, we settled on a simple raglan sleeve design with elastic at the sleeve. The prototype is on the left above.
Well, even the best plans need refinement. After trying the jersey on a player while he was wearing shoulder pads, we discovered that the raglan will work fine in the back, but it tends to clog up under the pads in front.
Back to the drawing board!
