Team Information
Team Colors - Red and black jerseys, black shorts, and one red sock with one
black sock.
Team History - The Misfits were formed in the early 80s when Camp Lejeune combined with
New River Air Station to form one single team. The name Misfits comes from
the result of combining the two teams and is reflected in the wearing of two
different color socks. The sock tradition is a result of the rule that
states that a team must wear matching uniforms. When the two teams merged,
both teams wore black shorts but one team wore red socks and one wore
black. At their first match as a combined team there were not enough black
or red socks to out fit an entire team. The solution was players with
black socks to trade one sock with a player with a red sock. Although the
socks did not match on an individual player they did match as a team.

Championships - The Misfits have been the Military National Champions 3
times - 1990, 1991, and 1995. In 2002 the Misfits lost in the Championship
match to Camp Pendleton (the only time two Marine teams have fought for the
title) The Misfits have also placed second in the North Carolina Union
Championships on a few occasions and as recently as 2001 but have never won the
title.
