FOOTBALL JERSEY FOR 2019
If you have a jersey from 2018, it can be used this year. If you need a new jersey BMF will not order one until the player is sized in person AND registration is paid for. Anyone who registers late may receive a stock game jersey with a random number. You can then take the jersey to JD Sports in Birdsboro to have the players name printed on the back at your cost. These are high quality Riddell reversible game jerseys that you keep. Jersey price is $62.
Playing time on Varsity is not guaranteed.
