How and when are uniforms ordered?
“Who ordered XL pants for my 5 year old?” A common question. Uniforms are usually ordered in early December to ensure that uniforms are delivered in time for the start of the season. This occurs before the draft has taken place. Accordingly, we must estimate the number of teams and players we will have in each division based on the number of players registered at this time, so that the appropriate number of uniforms can be ordered. Usually we guess correctly. Occasionally, we don’t. Uniforms are ordered in a range of sizes appropriate for each division. The League always allows a player to exchange a uniform for the proper size. Sometimes it just takes a week or two to sort things out at the start of the season.
