James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
University High School in Baton Rouge will wear uniforms from the movie on Friday when the school hosts Mentorship High. It’s the mashup we never knew we needed, but we’re so glad it’s here. adidas described its plans in a press release.
“As an additional nod to the 20th anniversary, adidas will bring the classic movie back to its roots and present authentic adidas SCLSU and ‘The Waterboy’ 20th anniversary uniforms to University Lab High School (ULAB) football team in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. To complete the head-to-toe look from the movie, adidas partnered with Riddell to blend the past with the present by combining the state-of-the-art head protection in the new Riddell Speed and SpeedFlex helmets with the classic look of the Mud Dogs logo, premium decal striping and a high gloss finish. The best-in-state ULAB football team will go from Cubs to Dogs for a cultural crossover moment that will celebrate the movie’s milestone for their game against Mentorship Academy on October 19.”
Here’s hoping they have some high-quality H2O on hand as well.
