According to ABC News, their coach, Erik Stockwell helped come up with the idea and design the uniforms. Each player got a number from one of the stars of the Negro League. With that number, the students had to name the player and give 3 facts about them.
This is a good way for students to be involved and to know more about Robinson and him paving the way for other African American baseball players.
The school plans to make it an annual tradition, wearing the uniforms the week before Jackie Robinson Day.
