Cold Weather Uniforms for Games later in the Season
Brrrr, it’s cold out here….must be some Cougars in the atmosphere……(anybody?).
In preparation for games in late October, November, December as the temperature gets too cold for our normal uniform for halftime, we will be wearing a cold weather uniform to still look as professional as possible. Here is what that will look like if you want time to get it together: On top, a black or purple Jacket/Hoodie (See spirit shop), Letter Jackets are also acceptable if you need to wear a coat. Cougar Band Purple T-Shirt underneath, thermals are appropriate in most cases. Long Black Athletic Pants (See Spirit Shop email), Black shoes, Black Socks, just like before. If you have questions, please plan ahead and let us know how we can help.
