Take a look at the record of the teams. Its about learning the sport, whether your bags are lined up or your socks match the next kids is a waste of time and money at this age. That BS is about luring new parents in to bite on what they sell. When the team loses to another team 10-1 and that other team has different helmets on or not quite matching socks tell me how that "look" feels then. But keep buying into at 9 years old, seems to be working. That's what the sports about? Wake up man
