Yep. If the coach just goes in and orders the stuff under his name, the vendor has no idea if kids will end up wearing the uni's, especially if they are all adult sizes. The custom sports apparel business is a tough, competitive business. I'm sure some might, but I'm guessing more than a few wouldn't turn this type of order away.

 

True, but I am going to guess that vendor is squirming a bit right now. I bet a little t of people pull their business from the vendor when the public finds out who printed those jerseys.

And to add to this, looking at the uniforms, these very well could've been an at home job. The letters and numbers used are very basic. They're placed in a straight line instead of an arc. I wouldn't be surprised if someone did these at home with an iron.

If they provide great service at low cost and know what your company typically orders it would be silly to pull away from them. Bad business decision.

Maybe. But I'm guessing most people couldn't tell you where teams get their jerseys from just by looking at them.

I don't think there's anything funny about any of it. These are people who should never be around youth sports again.

Don’t you think someone will make it their business to fine out? I would.

Not gonna lie, if I were in the business of printing shirts, I'd have accepted the job without hesitation. You're in business to make money. Turning away profitable business runs counter to that. It's not the printer's job to be the moral compass of his customers.

Agreed.

100%

No way appropriate at youth level or even adult when kids are around in anyway.

 

Will say we had fun with an all-star employee softball team in a national tournament in Detroit a long time ago.

 

We went as Kentucky Jelly.

Especially when there's a hundred other competitors out there that will be willing to do the work. You can't throw a rock without hitting a custom sports apparel shop.

I wonder if it is possible that the kids did not wear those jerseys the first 3 games and that the coach pulled the offensive ones out at the last minute for them to wear? Maybe he had some sick idea of what was funny and wanted to get away with it one time.

 

I don’t know...just throwing guesses out there. Can’t understand how this was their 4th game and no one said a word before this.

 

In the Enquirer this morning it said that the coach who played them the previous week filed a complaint with the referees and took pictures. So this was not a one-week appearance for the jerseys. We know they were used at least at the previous week's game also.

Wow! I can’t believe no one stopped them before this!

Interesting point.

Apparently a Milford coach got into a heated argument with the coach in December about it.

 

The coach is claiming the names on the back of the jerseys are a variation of the kids’ names, and he has asked for a 65% refund from the league.

 

The league president is investigating his officials to find out why they never reported this. I believe the coach requested to use the team name prior to the start of the season and the league denied it.
