All-Star Creative Uniform Surprise

[Tealxblack25]

Okay everyone, I need your help..
I was supposed to surprise my team tonight with new uniforms and they messed up the order so I only have half my uniforms.

Our team dinner is already too far along to cancel.. Ive got someone making stuff in crockpots so I cant cancel this dinner.
The team also already knows there is some sort of surprise so I really cant go into this team dinner and be like hey sorry I dont have your surprise but heres a meatball..

Can we put our creative minds together and think of a different way to surprise them ??
This has literally ruined my day as weve had our same cheap old omni cheer uniforms for 5 years and we finally got new ones and they mess up the order :/

help me turn this night around :D

Just present one uniform to show them what they look like. They'll be excited just to see the new ones. :)

So do you have a complete uniform? Or did you just get, like the bottoms?
If you have a complete uniform, use this team dinner as an unveiling and show them what they're getting. Explain to them they will have theirs soon. They'll understand and be excited to see what they're getting.

They already know what they look like as I had to size them for the uniforms.. when I sized them I told them they were going to be for next year but we needed to get sizes now so we have them in time. Their 11-12 years old so they totally believed me.

I like the idea of having someone put on the uniform and coming out to kind of reveal it. We were thinking of having someone read off a card and then have it say like please open the box and the uniform is in there.

just be honest, I would be like I wanted to surprise you guys tonight with the new uniform but they didn't come in time, maybe show them the sketch or a picture to something similar :)

Yes! When we got our new ones in high school my coach took the seniors into the hallway for a "meeting" and then they came back into the gym with the new uniforms on. We were so surprised!

"Coach ____, Coach ____, and Coach _____ have been thinking of all the ways to thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Tonight kicks off your competition season,
We know you will shine but we want you to also look mighty fine!
We know it’s been a while, so we hope this makes you smile, open the bag to see your surprise!"

So we wrote this in a card, and we have one 8th grader whos been on the team since 6th grade and its her last year were going to have her read it out loud and then open the bag in front of everyone.

Their going to most likely think its a bow lol

As a coach you should show up wearing one to really surprise the team.

thats exactly what we ended up doing

so we brought 1 gift bag with something in it and had the girls read a card outloud and then opened up the surprise in the bag and it was a bottle of hairspray and they had this confused look on their face and my other two coaches came out wearing the unifrm and were like "coach hanna we forgot our sneakers ! how are we supposed to go to competition in this uniform without sneakers ?? " and they flipped right out .. it was so sweet and we havethe whole thing on video were just waiting to get it off an iphone because the file is too big lol

If it happened to be a team full of college kids - 20 somethings you could DEFINITELY get away with just the food.
