2014-2015 Softball Uniform Requirements

2014-2015 Softball Uniform Requirements
1
At all levels, the quality of our current
Teamwork uniforms provided by our old
vendor have been poor.
Wide variety of systemic problems: cracking
numbers, peeling logos, defective zippers,
and frayed material.
Negative impact to the Cougar brand that we
will no longer tolerate.
Effective immediately, old uniforms & spiritwear are no longer available.

Elmhurst Cougar
Softball & baseball
are partnering
exclusively with:
Santo Sport Store in
Chicago Ridge
Mizuno USA
Required Migration
to Mizuno begins on
August 2nd @ Tryouts
3
New Jerseys will be custom from the Mizuno
factory.
New Jerseys feature “sublimated” graphics; in
English – the Cougar graphics are stained into
the shirts making them both light & durable.
New pants are collegiate-grade with padding
built into to pant. Thus, no need for sliding
shorts.
Cougars forever remain scarlet, royal, &
white. No exceptions.
4
New sublimated jerseys will have a long lead
time; to meet the near-team needs of fall-ball a
Mizuno moisture wicking tee-shirt will be used.
This tee-shirt can also be used as a practice
jersey.
No lead-time issues with the pants, samples will
be available for try-on at the tryouts.
Last, Mizuno does not offer a racerback. If you
watch(ed) Triple Crown 16/18U all-stars, College
World Series, or National Pro Fastpitch on ESPN or
CBS Sports – no one wears these anymore.
Let’s look at the designs…

Side graphics are a Mizuno tiger (Cougar)
teeth design.

The royal blue in the Mizuno uniform builder is
too light; we will stick with our Cougar blue.

Tee.
NOT Sublimated.

Arrive 3030-45 minutes early to tryouts for
registration, Fall uniform trytry-on, & warmwarm-up!
Try-on session for the sublimated jerseys will
be on a TBD date in November, 2014.
◦ It is highly recommended that each team purchase
both jerseys. Varying temperatures and the colors
of your opponents drive this need.
All facets of the Cougar brand is very
important to us. We appreciate your patience
and understanding as we transition.
