For some athletes, it’s hard to imagine having to wear the same outfit everyday to practice. Most teams are used to being able to wear whatever they want; as long as it fits to their sport. For baseball players, not wearing the same clothes everyday to practice would result in the team getting a punishment.

These athletes are required to wear these practice uniforms to have the proper feel of a game while practicing. The special fit of the pants and the jersey mimic their game day uniforms.

Sports such as football and basketball have this same idea; that practice uniforms will help improve game play. But for baseball it is more than that, it also allows the athletes to feel more unified.

“I like practice uniforms because it shows to others that we’re a team all the time,” sophomore Zachary Grindley said.

According to Grindley, things as simple as wearing the same clothes to practice helps build the team’s bond, making the uniforms more powerful than just a set of workout clothes.
