UNIFORM IDEAS
Last night at the Andover/Wayzata match I had to watch two uniforms that can do a better job. Yellow/gold on white is just a bad idea. I had a hard time seeing/reading the numbers and I was in the front row. Use the dark color for the number if you wear white. The fans will like it, and when the games get on tv the announcers will love it.
