New Year, New Championship Shirts

‌

As you can see, we have a new look to the State Championship T-Shirts this year. The shirts are navy blue with the front logo featuring an 11-point star under the logo. The 11-points represent the 11 sections that make up the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

Remember if you win a team state championship, you will be provided enough t-shirts for your maximum number of players allowed on your roster. If you have extra players, you can purchase as many State Championship t-shirts as you like.

IE, football. Your roster limit is 55 players. You will be given up to 55 shirts when the game is over.
