Uniforms


Uniforms help identify which person represents each team. Every uniform is not the same. You have different colors of uniforms, different styles of uniforms, or different requirements for each uniform. When people wear their uniforms together, they look united. They look similar to an army of some sort, but uniforms do not define people individually.

Different team require different attire. For example, a cheerleader may wear a skirt and hair bows, but a football player would wear a helmet and shoulder pads. Appearance wise, they look different, but when they're together, they all have the same goal they want to achieve. No matter if the goal is making a touchdown or just cheering for the team.

In Jennifer Egan's novel, A Visit from the Goon Squad, different uniforms appear quite often. Each uniform represents a different group of people. There were the green school uniforms, the "punk" uniforms, the "cholo" uniforms, and the soccer team uniforms. The uniforms represent that each person is apart of a clique, but the uniforms don't define the person as a whole.
