ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 You can see what was written on the receipt in the image below. We need more of this! As a community of Patriotic American Wrestlers, we need a National Singlet Day, a day during which Singlets are worn proudly, all day, in all walks of life. If you are a doctor in the operating room or a state legislator on the floor of your state house, wear your singlet! If you are an auto mechanic, a student, a panhandler, a stay-at-home dad or a murderer, wear your singlet proudly! We want everybody to wear singlets! Mathematics will tell you that there are approximately 40 billion singlets out there. You have 250,000 high school wrestlers every year, 7,300 NCAA wrestlers, another 5,000 NAIA wrestlers and 5,000 who are post-graduates. Walmart, Casey’s, classrooms and the doctor’s office; police stations, murder scenes, and in and around food trucks—these are places where you can wear your singlet on November 1, 2023. That’s the first day of the college wrestling season, which begins with the Buffalo Bulls Quad Meet against Brockport, Seton Hall and NCCC. That’s National Singlet Day Be sure to take a picture of yourself in a singlet. A panel of Singlet Experts will judge all submissions and award a prize package for the most controversial and the funniest use of a Singlet. The prize package will include an ILLINI Wrestling Blog and Forum and Beyond t-shirt, two Chunky bars and a piece of wire. Originally posted at The ILLINI Wrestling Blog and Forum and Beyond.

1032004 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 So many questions. Why is there a photo of a Hooters waitress but it was from a diner? No photo of actual waitress or wrestler in singlet? The receipt is from 4 years ago and the “lost a bet/next time table dance” is clearly photoshopped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entertainment, showmanship, glitz, pretty girls, clickbait, etc. That's how we turn a humdrum day into NATIONAL SINGLET DAY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boconnell Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I showed up for a meeting at my office in a singlet once as a joke. When I got there I found out the meeting had been moved to a nearby cafe. I didn't have time to change and had to attend in my singlet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not just a few who day, they ALL do. Most baffling wrestling phenomenons out there. Back in the day, we used to do this because when you had the whole team in the room--called "the sweatbox" as the coach kept the thermostat very high--you'd only have a tiny area to drill in. After a short time, that area would become a sweaty waterpark. Slippery! Gross! That is, unless you tucked in your sweats. And if you wore plastics, you didn't dare break that seal until you were back in the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 Although the topic may have seemed frivolous to some, it has now taken a deadly serious turn. We at The ILLINI Wrestling Blog and Forum and Beyond have officially petitioned the Mayor of Buffalo, the Honorable Byron Brown, for a city-wide proclamation heralding November 1, 2023 as National Singlet Day. Here is the petition in the form prescribed by the City of Buffalo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see below, a pie chart has been created to show our lofty goals for National Singlet Day -- November 1, 2023! I am in the process of contacting singlet manufacturers across the country to advise them of National Singlet Day. We expect every reader of this forum to each get 1,300 friends to sign up and wear their singlets on this occasion. There should be singlets for as far as the eye can see! Please don't forget that National Singlet Day is November 1, 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
