I'm kind of surprised more teams don't regulate this. I know the uniform is technically yours to do whatever you want with, but in high school we were NOT allowed to loan out our uniforms under any circumstances. You lose control over your branding when someone not affiliated with your program wears it. Our coaches fear was us loaning it out to a friend who wears it for Halloween or something, gets drunk in it and ruins it or post pictures.
I'm sure a lot of people buy these uniforms with good intentions, but our coach decided to nip it all in the bud before the issue arose.
A neighbor called and said her daughter was going to audition for a cheerleader part in a movie and asked if she could borrow cp's allstar uniform. She had no idea what the movie was about. Um.....no. I haven't read anything prohibiting lending out uniforms at our gym, but it got me thinking about some really undesirable industries that might be willing to buy them:oops:
