Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School OLD SCHOOL???

who likes to go old school???

what the He77 does that mean?

I do!

In practice I wear the old Asic Tigers, the Gable version. I got them out of a box in the storage area.

We recently gave our kids the old warmups from back in the early 80's. You know, the one's that have collars and flair pants. The kids wear them on meet days at school and I wore one for the heck of it last semester.

In reality, I would love to have a retro dual, equipped with white on white, gum sole tigers, calf socks, nylon singlets, high thigh version, with terrycloth robes. Over the PA we would play "Hungry for Heaven" by Dio. Our headgears would still have the chin cups.

That would be awesome.

How about wearing the two piece uniform (pants),
have riding time, no defering to the third period. If you choose bottom in the second, you automatically get top in the third. On site weigh in's and then the grapplettes,(cute girls),feed you toast, hot tea, honey and orange sherbet.
And most of all ther cheers were better since we didn't have to worry about hurting someone's feelings.

yeah,l like that idea.

You guys got sherbert? All I got was ice cube and a "shut the he77 up" from my coach. Try that today and you get a parent who's worried about "self esteem" on your back.

Oh yeah, and the knee pads have to be the big fat white ones that cut the heck out of the tendons on the back of your knees.

And no water breaks!!!!

Well we wear singlets from a few years back in the finals, then i wear my old bros asics shoes, old headgear and long white tub socks, and knee pads that are pretty beat up, its AWESOME!!!

What team is the most old school without trying? Who has old school warmups, singlets, and are tough to boot? I'd give big ups to Clay Center or Ark City in that department.

the pratt high greenbacks are deffinitly the most old school that i have seen. we got singlets that senoirs jorge espinosa and andrew riner wear that are from the 60's, reallly old sweatpaints and sweatsshirts that are also from the 60's and all of our headgear is from the early 80'2 you no the old brute ones like shut of vision quest. very old school!!

Suh has some really old school shoes, i think he found them in storage

A few years ago at the St Francis and Goodland dual each team brought old singlets. Just about every kid had a different singlet. Some even wore those fussy gold warmups Sainty used to have.I think some wore the tank tops tights and shorts. It was a hoot. The most old school team I have seen is Scott City those guys went back to the tights like we used to have in the 70's.

yes indeed i do have some phat-a$$ old school shoes. Anyone know where u can get a cliff keen head gear with a chin cup? those r so sweet.

Yeah, Coach Gibson, we had sherbet, but only at home duals, on the road we had an orange and a hershey bar. This weekend and a Jr. High tourney I saw a kid from Ellis wearing that headgear with a chin cup, looked cool. AND what about those three piece outfits with the singlet,tights and the different colored shorts you wore over the singlet. (really old school)

alot of columbus kids are old school they have old school singlets too

Big Bubba, our JV 103 pounder who rules the earth, has a chin cup. It's the source of all his powers.

gibson I hve to check but think I have the DIO tape in my collection. Plus I think teams are alot tuffer when they still have the old-school stuff.

Prant, Big Bubba is my cousin and when he lost his chin cup I had to over night him on a few week ago. Keep workn him hard and tell him to stay out of those head locks.

Markham--
Have you ever delivered pizzas? That was old school. Remember when I beat you in the punt/pass/kick contest?

Last year Clay Center had some old school singlets that they wore in the finals. The seniors there wanted to go retro. It wasn't for looks, we just wanted to honor some of the older wrestlers. It seems that everyone anymore is going old school. I think its pretty cool.

How about this:

Last year, Iowa State University went back to wearing warm-up ROBES! Has anyone else made that leap yet?

And how many out there are wearing full-length tights under their singlets?

I'd come back and wrestle old school if the let me wear a robe, wrestle on horse hair mats, with big clunky white knee pads with Europe's "Final Countdown" playing on the PA.

P.S. - let's be honest. Anyone could beat Markham in a pass, punt, kick contest. When we were kids, everyone picked him last in dodgeball and kickball because he can't throw and he always kicked his shoe farther than the ball in kickball. Our PE teacher would yell....

"Markham! See why you are always picked last?! Your Kangaroo, brown soles go farther than the ball! The outfield is playing you at wheelchair depth!!!!"
