The uniforms should be in prior to the weekend. We have run into some supply issues (what a surprise), but we have been told we will have them by Friday. We will give them to each team’s coach and he will bring them to the first game. IN THE EVENT THEY DO NOT ARRIVE, WE WILL USE SOME SPARE JERSEYS THAT WE HAVE ON HAND. THOSE WILL ALSO BE GIVEN TO THE COACH IF NECESSARY. We are hopeful that they will arrive but there is not much we can do given the environment we are in.
