In basketball games here I wonder why most times the guys playing must want to use something to easily know their team mate, can't they easily recognize their team mate? Look at the aspect of football, you will hardly see the guys saying they should do something that will differentiate the two team's appearance, especially street football.
If is team they have like two colours of jersey or normal cloth to put on so that they can differentiate their players because is always 11 VS 11 In the case of basketball the players play with a professional number of only 5 VS 5 so I keep on wondering why a person can't easily remember his other 4 teammates that's abnormal.
This is a picture I got from a basketball WhatsApp group whereby they always send pictures taken in the court, to the group. Most times the coach always tell everywhere to come with any white and also any black top. The reason he said they should come with the two is because they can't predict the team they will play with that day.
Sometimes they don't come with those two especially days when they didn't plan to meet alot of people in the court. In cases like this one of the teams will remove their shirt and play shirtless while the other team will wear any colour of shirt they want. Something funny happened in December 2022 when I went there to play but it wasn't my turn yet.
A guy asked for my white shirt because he was wearing black and he was taken to the other white team so I remove my shirt and the other guys were surprised to see how fit I am, they started calling me a Gym instructor, it was really funny as I didn't expect such shocking reaction from them. They always call me Eyeglass because I always put on a medicated eyeglass and am the one guy wearing it there's a girl who wears eyeglass there too.
