A uniform can create a unified front for any sports team and they are usually used to make it easy for the players and spectators to recognize them. If you are a part of a team and you are looking for a new uniform, there are a few factors you need to consider when finalizing the design.
It is always good to get inspiration from other sports teams.
You can search online for teams at college or club level to get an idea of what is out there. You can save a few photos of the uniforms that you like and you can review them later on to understand what exactly it is about the uniform that you like. It can be a certain detailing or a colour that you are attracted to. And when it comes to colours, it is important to select vibrant colours so that your team will catch the eye of the spectators. So whenever possible, go for bright vibrant colours. You may have a muted colour to represent your club, school etc. But you don’t always need to highlight the primary colour. If there is a secondary brighter colour that you can use, you can use this for the majority of the uniform with a carefully placed design in the primary colour. This will make a significant impact.
Bright colours can create an identity for the team and this can be a great way of rallying the spectators. You can add the logo of who are playing for on the uniform so that the essence is not lost. When you stick to these easy to spot colours, nobody has to guess which team you are from as all the information will be provided in the uniform itself. A visually vibrant uniform is a great way of bringing more attention to your uniform and this can be a bit of motivation to the team as well. What you wear can affect your confidence a great deal and having the perfect uniform will give your teammates that extra courage.
Looking great is only one part of the equation when it comes to the uniform.
You need to select a material that is comfortable to wear. They need to fit the players perfectly so that it doesn’t restrict their movement. Skimping on the materials will make the players uncomfortable when they play and it will actually affect their performance. There are certain materials that are better recommended for certain sports. And a well fitting uniform will ensure that your teammates are not hampered in their motion. Make sure you add the final touch of putting the last names of the players at the back of the uniform in addition to a number. This is a confidence boost to the person wearing the uniform and when it comes to school matches, parents will also appreciate being able to spot their child on the field. You can also have more than one uniform; one can be for home games and the other one can be an away uniform. So even if an opposing team has a similar colour, you will be able to reduce confusion by selecting a different uniform.
