What is the difference?
Well, why do teams have uniforms?
Yes I know some people have already said this.
But, I think from the moment a boy walks into the room
till the time he walks out, he should be in FULL UNIFORM!
Why? Because it puts EVERY BOY ( no matter how COOL he is )
on the same level. If one boy comes in without his uniform he
will feel like he needs a uniform. Then HE WILL BE ON THE
SAME LEVEL AS EVERY BOY! I am in the program and do
not mind wearing the uniform at all. I do not want to offend anyone
by what I say.
Thanks!
