Early basketball gear nets harsher wear on players
The article notes a shift from heavier traditional uniforms to lighter suits that leave players looking nearly naked. It recalls early basketeers wearing basic regulation gymnasium shoes and the coach's problem with stone bruises from poor footwear and equipment.

A reminiscence contrasts modern sports gear with past practice. Cap recalls heavy bottom shoes protecting ankles, while baths were rudimentary with a home made cold water shower. Players raced to early sprinkler showers or used distant tube baths as part of park facilities.
