Youth Baseball Uniforms - They Do Make a Difference

I'm from a small rural town where we have a recreational baseball and softball program for Little League players up to Youth League Players through 8th grade. As with many small town leagues, the funding just doesn't exist to get the kids quality, professional looking baseball uniforms. You might be thinking it's only a uniform, what difference does it make? Believe it or not, the kids (even the boys) comment on other teams uniforms. The uniforms supplied by our baseball/softball program consist of a T-shirt, a ball cap that's the same for all of the teams, and your basic baseball pants. The pants and the caps are fine, they're the same quality as other teams, but it's the T-shirts I have the problem with.

I know that the uniform does not make the player, however, if the kids are proud of their appearance, feel like a Professional, then that attitude will carry over into their game. They'll be proud of their team, proud of what they represent, and with that pride comes passion for the game and a winning attitude. It's that winning attitude that truly makes the team, even if they lose the game, as long as they keep their pride and passion, then they are already winners.

Quality Professional looking uniforms don't have to cost a fortune, there are so many options available today. If the budget only allows for a T-shirt, shop around, there are a ton of companies that offer the high end uniforms who also carry other sports apparel. Talk to them about your budget and find out what you can get for the money. Don't be afraid to contact more than one company, ask for bids. Generally, the more uniforms or apparel you order the better the price, keep this in mind. If you have a team of 13 ball players, but there are 4 other teams in the other age brackets also needing uniforms, get together, and use the numbers to your advantage.

Talk to the parents, maybe they can find a sponsor to help with some of the cost, perhaps they'd be willing to pay an extra $20 on top of the original fee to go toward uniforms, you'll never know if you don't ask.

Because my kids are so active in both Baseball and Football, my husband and I started our own business, Big Dog Sports and Fitness. I spent countless hours trying to find manufacturers of team uniforms and apparel that I felt were of the highest quality and were the most affordable. I do offer team discounts, I know the budget concerns of small town leagues and thought they needed someone to work with them to get the kids the most professional looking uniform at the best price. On my website, http://www.bigdogfit.com, I carry uniforms from Teamwork Athletic, they have the best uniforms around, including Custom Baseball Uniforms.
