NORTHBOROUGH – Over a year after Algonquin Regional High School (ARHS) adopted a new mascot, the high school will be able to replace its uniforms under the “Titan” brand more quickly than anticipated, thanks to a sweepstakes.
Algonquin was named the recipient of BSN Sports’ Ultimate Victory Uniform Makeover in late May.
As the winner, Algonquin’s JV and varsity teams will receive free, custom uniforms through BSN Sports’ Victory Line with a product value of up to $50,000, according to a press release.
“Receiving new uniforms is a major step for our school in completing the rebrand process,” said Athletic Director Mike Mocerino.
Mocerino noted that this will help accelerate the transition to the “Titan” mascot. The athletes will begin wearing the uniforms in the 2023-2024 season. The high school will also receive a uniform reveal package to generate excitement within the ARHS community.
Algonquin was one of over 4,800 entries from across the country into the sweepstakes. As part of the contest, the entrants shared why their high school deserved the makeover.
“Algonquin shared within their entry that the community is in its first year of changing the school’s mascot from the Tomahawks to the Titans,” BSN Sports wrote in the press release.
BSN noted that a “significant aspect” of the change is the additional cost to replace the uniforms with the updated Titan brand and logo.
“Given the budget needs, the full Algonquin mascot transition could have taken anywhere from five to seven years based on the program’s planned funding. However, through Ultimate Victory Uniform Makeover, nearly all Algonquin teams will have a unified athletic brand in less than a year,” BSN Sports wrote.
President of BSN Sports Terry Babilla said that new uniforms are important in the transition process.
“We look forward to supporting Algonquin’s student-athletes by providing them with fully customized, cohesive, high-quality uniforms so they can officially compete as the Titans for the first time,” Babilla said.
