USBC Youth jerseys will have a new look

USBC Youth

Youth bowlers soon will sport a cool new look on the lanes with the latest eye-catching United States Bowling Congress Youth jersey.

Jerseys are a member benefit in certified USBC Youth Standard leagues. International Bowling Congress Director of Youth Development Chad Murphy said the new design will appeal to teenagers and be exciting for younger bowlers as well.

"The jerseys have been a tremendous hit with our youth members for the last two seasons and this latest design might prove to be even more popular," Murphy said. "Kids are not only wearing them at their leagues but everywhere they go."

The new jerseys also include logos from two of bowling's top ball brands. Storm is represented on the left sleeve and Ebonite on the right sleeve.

"Storm and Ebonite stepped up with tremendous support of youth bowling through the YES Fund," Murphy said. "Adding them to the jersey was a way of saying thanks and a design element that gives a pro jersey feel kids really like."

The new design features red, blue and black colors on the athletic jersey. USBC Youth Standard memberships purchased after March 15, 2011, will receive the jersey and Adult Leaders soon will be able to go onto BOWL.com to purchase their jerseys for $20.

The jerseys will continue to have an open design on the back so they can be personalized by leagues and individuals.

USBC started the jersey program as part of USBC Youth Standard membership at the start of the 2009-10 season.
