Uniforms will be distributed at practice today. If anyone complains about the red kits being too snug, keep in mind that form-fitting uniforms are the wave of the future. Besides, there is less uniform for someone to grab.
If you complain too loudly, Coach Rogers might give serious consideration to some throwback uniforms like those sported by The Caribous of Colorado. Wikipedia notes that:
The lasting legacy of the Caribous is one of the most unique and infamous uniforms in soccer history. Going with a western-style motif, the players wore brown and tan jerseys that included a strip of leather fringe across the chest.
You ladies would certainly be stylin’ in your cowgirl kits, especially if they were Columbia Blue & Red instead of ugly brown.

The San Jose Mercury News has a story about the abundance of ACL injuries among women’s basketball players in the Pacific-10 Conference.
Research has indicated that female athletes are two to eight times more likely to suffer ACL tears than their male counterparts. (That’s reflected this season in the Pac-10, where only one male basketball player has torn an ACL.) One report showed that about 2,200 female college athletes are sidelined each year by the injury.
Perhaps most cruel: A majority of the ruptures don’t involve contact with other players. Athletes suddenly, almost freakishly, crumple to the ground in agony.
