Basketball Uniform Is A Very Simple Ensemble

A basketball uniform is a very simple ensemble, at least in its basic composition. It consists of a pair of shorts and a jersey, both of which are usually made of nylon or some other synthetic material. Players also wear socks and sneakers; these are not always technically a part of the uniform, but they can be. The University of Southern California basketball team members, for example, all have red shoes to match their uniforms. The jersey and shorts are unique to the team, utilizing both colors and designs to create a signature look. A basketball uniform lets the players identify their team mates. This is the purpose of a uniform. The people in the stands can tell which team is which by the different colors of the clothes the players are wearing. The wearing of a basketball uniform makes the player feel like part of the the team. It also brings the players as a whole to be seen as one.

People always comment about how skirt hems go up and down, how waistbands rise and fall; but few people seem to notice the amazing regularity with which basketball uniforms undergo change to accommodate the accepted fashion trends. If people are wearing tight clothes, basketball uniforms become formfitting. If baggy is in, basketball shorts reach to the players' knees. I can think of no other sport in which the uniform makes such a fashion statement and moves so much with the clothing trends of the era. Now that you can tell which team they are on, the next thing is to see what player is who. This is done by putting a different number on each players uniform and adding their name to the back of it to. The team you play for may change the uniform from one year to the next. This will take away some of the boredom with the same old thing all the time. There are usually two different color basketball uniforms per team. It consists of a pair of shorts and a jersey, both of which are usually made of nylon or some other synthetic material. Players also wear socks and sneakers; these are not always technically a part of the uniform, but they can be. The University of Southern California basketball team members, for example, all have red shoes to match their uniforms. The jersey and shorts are unique to the team, utilizing both colors and designs to create a signature look. Players' numbers are emblazoned on the backs and fronts of the jerseys.

One will wear a mostly white one while the other team will wear a more colored one. Basketball players will sweat a whole lot. So there attire will have to be comfortable for them as they are sweating. The clothing will have to breath and take the sweat away from their body. This will also have a cooling effect on the player. Most uniforms are made from a synthetic material. The look of the clothing can have sleeves or be sleeveless. It can have a round neck or a v shaped neck. Their shirts can be solid fabric or part mesh. The mesh allows airflow to keep the player cooler. As a result, it is much easier for basketball uniforms to reflect the fashion trends of any given era. When basketball was first established, circa 1890, very few clothing existed that was specifically designed for physical activity. Hence, many players simply wore the pants and shirts they used in everyday life. It was not until the 1920s that the essence of the basketball uniform was established. Photos from this era show young men in shorts that come to their mid-thighs and formfitting sleeveless jerseys.
