Soccer players (Kids, Teens, and Adults)?

I wonder how many kids, teenagers, and adults would not be playing soccer if they did not have their cute uniforms to wear? I find this even in the young kids. What if they were given a pair of plain, non name (wal-mart or target) brand shorts, jersey, and cleats? What happened to just playing the sport. It seems like many of them are more into wearing their adidas, nike, puma, etc. uniforms and looking good/cute in them than playing the sport. Then they have to carry around their nike, adidas, or puma bag to put all their gear in. Everyone seems to want to look sporty today. Wearing athletic clothes when they are not at an athletic event. In know the clothes are comfortable, but come on! I was in a store the other day and this 18 year old girl was still in her full soccer gear... shin guards, nylon adidas soccer shorts, adidas soccer cleats, jersey, and of course hair in a little pony tail ... she thought she was ALL THAT. I am curious to see what you all think about this. Email me.
