Photo of the Day: Ben Olsen Day 2005

An introduction, Part I: Ben Olsen is known as a very stylish guy. Some might say too stylish. He has a very unique look - one all his own. On a given day he might wear jean shorts, a sleeveless tee and chucks. Another day might bring an old, ratty t-shirt and a pair of designer jeans complemented with a winter hat. You just never know what Benny might be wearing...
An introduction, Part II: Remember 2005? I do. It was my first year with United. That particular team had one of the most interesting - and entertaining - group of young players. Trips to the locker room brought something different and unexpected each day. On one particular day, a group of players decided to deem a day "Ben Olsen Day." The challenge to teammates was simple: come to practice wearing your most Ben Olsen-esque attire. As you see in the photo above, the guy did not disappoint.

From the left: Matt Nickell, Bobby Boswell, Jaime Moreno, Jason Thompson (JT), Shawn Kuykendall, Alecko Eskandarian, The Man of Honor, Nick Van Sicklen and Brian Carroll.
Whose attire do you like best?

Boswell looks like he dressed himself before jumping on the short bus. I'm actually digging Nick's outfit with the rolled up jeans.

Bobby's problem here is that he just wore one of his normal outfits.
I'm thinking Van Sicklen's is the best, but Jaime and Esky definitely get an A for effort.
