Home field advantage has been a traditional psychological advantage in team sports. With the development of new technical fabrics and designs, a team can also have a psychological and physical edge based on uniforms. Teams are always looking for a leg up and spend thousands of dollars to get ahead with uniforms. Baltimore-based uniform maker Cisco Athletic states unequivocally that "yes," sport uniforms can give you an advantage in a game.
Design
Uniforms that improve athletic performance are designed for an ergonomic fit that acts like a second layer of skin. Using a form-fitting material that stretches over every body part, the design gives you free range of motion for unrestricted athletic movements. Some uniforms even feature a 360-degree stretch design, strategically placed notches and seamless technology for improved mobility and range of motion.
Comfort
Materials used for sport uniforms can provide a competitive advantage. By wicking moisture away from your body during games, your body remains cool in the summer or warm in the winter, allowing you to perform at a high level. Synthetic materials that provide moisture-wicking capabilities include poly Lycra, Pro Mesh and Dri-Fit.
Weight
Synthetic materials are light weight and remain so as you sweat during competition by wicking moisture away from your body and drying quickly. Cisco Athletic confirms on its online site that lightweight synthetic materials don't absorb sweat and thus stay light.
Confidence Boost
Uniform design companies offer the ability to mix and match materials while making your own uniforms with customized colors, patterns and logos. The ability to make your own sport uniforms provides an additional advantage by matching the uniform design and colors to your individual style of play. A customized uniform can improve confidence with your ability resulting in an advantage over the competition.
