HS Soccer - Sachse vs. John Tyler

Here some shots from a very cold game. The temperature was in the 40's, but the wind chill had to have brought the temperature down to the 30's. So I was wondering if these soccer uniform are insulated?

Pretty nice shots!

Well, you know how soccer is a running game ... amazing how quickly players heat up and stay that way while they're on the field. Last year, I shot a girls U12 youth soccer game where the temperature was in the 30s with a strong wind. They were wearing shorts and short-sleeves (at least some of them) and seemed OK. I had four layers on and was still cold.

I wasn't expecting anymore cold weather so I had put away my cold weather clothes. I had on jeans, a light jacket, and a rain suit that I keep in my car. By half time I was numb. I went into the press box to thraw out and didn't get back on the field until a few minutes left in the game. Wind was blowing to hard that trash was flying up 20' or more in the air.
