Yes, we’ve used this photo of cover star Derwin James Jr. before (October 2019 for Executive Editor Christine Yeh’s 20/20 Upfront feature on the initial debut of Oakley teaming with the NFL via the Prizm shield connection) but could not resist making the point of athletes and their impact especially regarding the impressions made by their uniforms and their equipment vital to the challenges of their specific sport. These articles so vital to their competition make quite an impression on their fans, consumers in general, sport culture, popular culture and the whys-and-what-fors of street style and eventually, fashion trends. The impact is powerful. The colors enhance. The high tech of the equipment astounds. And the effect ramps through all of our lives. It sheds and delivers light like… a Prizm. Reflect on that.
