Headbands Over Cleats

WAKA Champ.  That was my inspiration for tonight’s Fashion Blog.  As we approach our final weeks of the Peninsula Fall Season, I thought, what a better way to immediately celebrate a championship than to have an awesome WAKA Champ headband to display your victory.  Many people in the league wear them on a regular basis and I think they are absolutely amazing, and go perfect with every WAKA smile as seen in the picture below with these lovely ladies; Diane Griffin, Jamie LaCrosse, Gwendolyn Cruz, Fiorina Cavo, and Noelle Walsh.

  As headbands seem to be a great trend throughout the league, I myself find them extremely helpful as I started wearing them regularly, after a drastic decision to cut 10 inches of hair off my head this past March.  I definitely recommend them through transitional haircuts as well!

But they are especially great statement pieces for both guys and girls, no matter what type of statement they are trying to make, don’t ya think Matt Wellbrock?

Headbands bring friends together and great smiles all around the WAKA league, especially because it is keeps sweat and hair out of their eyes during the games.

 They even create a magnificent accent piece, right next to superbly worn costumes on the field.  Pizza, by the way, is always in Fashion every season.

 Most of all they provide character and create a staple in several players’ regular kickball gear, as you see several of these folks including Kat Greene, Leon Elder, Brent Wentworth, Jess Yelkovich, and a few others below wear one almost every game.  Maybe that’s their good luck charm.

  Not only can they be good luck charms for WAKA, they are significant throughout sports history, as we find different champions sport this signature piece of clothing attire with great pride.

 As headbands were first seen in Ancient Greece around 475 BC to 330 BC in the form of hair wreaths, cultures like the Greeks and Romans wore these during celebrations and important events.  

Even in the early 1900s, wider headbands were quite popular as an accessory for women of that time, and were referred to as "headache bands" as people believed that the tight pressure they provided around the forehead could relieve or prevent this throbbing pain.  

So your next game, remember that if you are having bad hair day, want to sport your favorite team, or even aspire to be a WAKA champion, wear your favorite headband and remember your drive for excellence on the field as you continue to represent excellent WAKA fashion!
