Harmon’s New Shirt Looks Very Much Like His Old One<\/h4>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Form And Function<\/strong>
\nNo longer content with\u00a0displaying simple mathematical functions across their chests, the Mathematics unveiled\u00a0a new,\u00a0advanced jersey line on Sunday.\u00a0 After years of sporting shirts with only addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs, the Mathematics added exponents and square roots to their repertoire.\u00a0 In addition,\u00a0a special “black out” jersey (bearing the same new logos)\u00a0was also commissioned as an occasional alternate uniform.\u00a0\u00a0Like their predecessors, the new shirts received rave reviews throughout BTSH.\u00a0 One\u00a0league member, Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens, was quoted as saying, “If Mathematics shirts were on sale, I would totally buy one.”<\/p>\n

\"Standoff<\/a><\/p>\n

Ben’s Sleeves May Be Custom
\n<\/strong>With several teams still sporting tattered attire from 2008 and beyond, Mexican Standoff remains\u00a0the class of BTSH, as\u00a0Peaches’ crew\u00a0broke out its second new jersey\u00a0of the year.\u00a0 After infringing on LBS, Inc.’s territorial rights to the color white by unveiling a white shirt at the beginning of the season,\u00a0Standoff returned to\u00a0its roots this time around with an alternate black uniform.\u00a0 Each shirt includes a red and white graphic, while the back includes personalized names and numbers in mustard yellow.\u00a0 Thus, their official team colors are now black, white, red, mustard yellow, baby blue, azure, gray, orange, purple, pink, camouflage, and brown.\u00a0 But no electric lime, because that would just look hideous.<\/p>\n
