Oak Forest H.S 2024 (warmup jacket)
Thank you Oak Forest for at putting numbers on the back of the jackets. Such a huge help identifying girls who get cold in early spring games.
St. Laurence H.S. 2024 (home front)
Love the pin stripes. Been told this is the Yankees' style. They don't do numbers on the front. The White Sox do. STL, is a play on St. Louis' typeface.

The numbers and letters are green.
Players wearing the blue socks really make this kit look nice.
Joliet Catholic 1996 (away)
White top and bottoms with brown numbers and a blue outline. JCA on the shoulder & helmet. I'll bet money JCA never does a throwback with this look.
Joliet Catholic 1996 (home)
I can't mention enough how under-whelming the JCA jerseys of the mid-1990s were. The mud on the pants are the best part of this set. The helmet was a weird navy blue and the iconic brown of JC was as dark a brown as you could get and still call it brown. The blue outline on the numbers looks ok.
The simple old school brown C on the gold helmet gets me every time.
Notice the different color shoulders. Only time I can remember seeing this done.
Says Fenwick across the front. White side stripes on pants.
Hyde Park H.S. 2001 (home)
Love this old school look. Even for 2001 it was a throwback. The script for the Indians name was nice too.
East St. Louis H.S. 1996 (sideline jacket)
I though these were a throwback when I saw them in 1996. They looked like they were from the 1960s even when I saw them in person in full color. This black & white photo make it look even more so.
