​MORE THAN A NUMBER

The theme of "Earned, Not Given" permeates all aspects of the current team. As such, players must earn the right to wear an actual number across their chest (here's a glimpse of the scene when that happens). Regardless of how we ended up with our jersey number(s), those digits inevitably came to mean something every time we saw them hanging in our lockers, stenciled on our shorts, or on the back of some kid in the stands.

​

In helping to connect our program's past with its present, consider writing a letter about what it was like to wear the orange and blue, and specifically, the number you wore: what it meant to you, and how you made your own. The player currently wearing that number will receive a copy of your letter, as will every future player who represents the same.
