About Team Shirts:
Team shirts are an important way to identify you with your "team". Here are a few tips:
- Team shirts are to be long sleeved (the only hard and fast western rule!)
- Shirts can have any markings you like: Team name, a sponsor name, nick name, city, and graphics – use your imagination! Just keep in mind it's a family show.
- Can be the same both days or can have two different ones for Saturday and Sunday
- It can be as simple as, for example, purchasing a long sleeved shirt from a department store and using iron-ons all the way to purchasing a western shirt and having it embroidered!!
- If you want to go all out, be sure to check out our western store; Prairie Saddlery in Strathmore.
Dress Code during Grand Entry
Grand Entry is your time to shine! You will be announced and paraded though the arena for all to see! As part of the rodeo tradition, you will wear your team shirt and are expected to also have long pants, a western hat, and boots. Check out the 2010 IGRA Rule Book for exact rules.
