I put my personal beliefs and values in wearing Nike because Addidas, or Reebok or any other companies of that sort are not our school or sports sponsor and we get these things for free so why not wear them? I personally believe if people are going to give you things for free then why not be appreciative and wear them especially if they are one of the most popular name brands in the world. One of the reasons I wear sports clothes or attire is because I play sports and I hope continue to play sports throughout my life, hopefully professional sports. I made the choice to dress this way because it is comfortable and it’s also not a fashion mishap in my opinion. On occasions as I was growing up I wore suits and ties to church and events such as banquets, meetings, dances, prom, and those occasions happen very frequently now that I am a division 1 college football player. My style of clothing never changed it is basically still the same. I still wear my sweats, sweatshirts, and basketball shorts every where I go and they are still Nike. I feel like my style of dressing will never change until I start to get old and grumpy. My family believed in being clean cut, shaven, and keeping your body in good health as far as hygiene. My family is really religious and they believed that if you cleanse the body your soul will also be cleaner, which is how they communicated their beliefs and values to me and my siblings. My peer community in my opinion believes in dressing really comfortably. I would say since Nike originated in Oregon, people also wear a lot of Nike. I think Nike shoes, basketball shorts, sweats, and sweatshirts are kind of a trend here in Oregon or at least amongst me and my peers. People express their feelings in a lot of ways and some of those ways show in how they dress and carry themselves. Most of the people I meet have a tattoo for example. I think when someone starts a trend it carries on throughout the young community.
