But is there a possible way the site could interview or get in touch someone involved within the organizations or the actual design of the uniforms to rationalize their creations? It would be nice to hear the flip side of the argument, because on this website we tend to pretty much agree with disasters. You know that as we all sit around watching TV or sit in a stadium and think wow that looks awful, there’s some guy out there who made the uniform going "damn those unis look good."
