Early into a practice last week, Anthony Connole slipped out of the gym while his team warmed up. He returned a few minutes later…transformed! He sported a purple top with gold stripes down the arms. And, shockingly, purple-and-white candy-striped pants – a bold, retro style in the mode of the Harlem Globetrotters.
A collective “WHOA!” came from the Jefferson High boys’ basketball teams, then laughter, then applause. This, Connole explained, would be the varsity’s new warm-up outfit for the 2019-20 season.
“I wanted to send a message,” he said later. “New look, new program, new atmosphere.”
