Some University Coach must have written a paper last year saying that you can play better without knee pads and that there is no evidence to support the notion that they protect you in any way
Watching the Empress Cup matches there are so many players from high school and university not wearing knee pads I can't even count them. One high school had only two players from the whole team with knee pads on. This is a very strange phenomenon I think people should be more up in arms about, whether you wear elbow pads or not

Panasonic Panthers only 10x uglier than the men's version. 1 of them does not belong there.

No Hammy. Why is she part of that when she isn't participating in any tournaments and now she's injured again so like what's the point
-
No but what if having sleeves is part of the new V League's policy that we don't know about? ngl that's even worse than Victorina's skorts

burn it
Lmao

this one doesn't look bad at all. it's like those vintage cricket jerseys. on the other hand, that top from saga is literally just a shirt. they look like an amateur football team.

with ishii gone, maybe they're rebranding the team's image? the only girls left that are highly sexualised are mandai and nagaoka.
...unless sleeves are part of the new super league policy🤔
