CHAMPION STYLEZ- Our Saviour Lutheran National 2021- '22 Championship Boys Basketball team.

A HUGE thank you to coachpete_osl , the other oslbasketball coaches/staff, and the rest of the OSL National team who came through and spent time & energy for me to make this happen. I appreciated it all! This second serious "yes" was just as big to me as the first.

*Swipe through to see the BTS energy OSL's team gave, lol.

I started this project at the end of last season with teams and players who held it down and followed through on their support of me and what I was doing. I wanted to take a more cultural approach to covering the game of basketball so I decided to make a barbershop poster of championship teams. There are different reasons why I wanted to create this:

• Players of black and brown complexions have a wide variety of hairstyle options- I wanted to highlight that.

• Hairstyles are a form of individuality.

• Many hair trends come from athletes. 

• Boys/men have a story to tell about their hair, too(even if the story isn’t super involving). It’s not as common to see or hear much about how boys/men take care of their hair compared to women. I wanted to create an opportunity for some boys to share some of "the real" about their hair... Although I am a woman, I understand and recognize that there is a process that many boys/men have to go through to upkeep their hair. I have a twin brother and an older brother, so I'm no stranger to witnessing that experience growing up.

• Share information of barbers, barbershops, hair stylists, salons, and products that the players use. The information could help someone else who has the same hair type or lives in the same area.

**Congrats, again, on last year's championship and to unguardable__jay for being "Mr. New York Basketball."
