Some students are under the impression that it is unfair how often their team gets new uniforms. An anonymous East High athlete states, “I feel like it’s unfair because we don't ask for a lot, all we wanted was uniforms.” I don’t disagree with what this student is saying because I felt the same way, but our athletic director Mr. Robinson says, “it's on a rotation, each team is supposed to get new uniforms about every 5 years,” meaning each year a couple of different teams get new uniforms. Like last year the football team and soccer team got new uniforms. Robinson also states, “Football gets uniforms more often because it’s a physical sport and all the wear and tear on the uniforms.” This year the basketball team is getting new uniforms. The tennis team was supposed to too but in the beginning of their season the coach wasn’t sure if there was going to be a team. Next year the tennis team, volleyball team, and lacrosse team will be getting new uniforms. Robinson has a budget for the teams’ uniforms each year. He lets the coaches chose the designs of the uniforms and then he orders them for that team. He orders about 15-20 uniforms for each team that get new uniforms. He does this to make sure everyone on the team will actually have one that fit them. So while at first it might seem unfair, there is a reason to the way teams are selected to get new uniforms.
