Julie's School Collection

Julie Albright's School Collection is unique among the historical characters with school collections because rather than focusing on the schoolroom and education aspect of school, the focus is on basketball. One of the central themes to Julie's stories is Title IX and women's equality, making the subplot of Julie playing on her school's basketball team important to the first two stories in her series. Thus, to support this importance, her school collection is centered on basketball.

Julie Tells Her Story
Julie's school story is Julie Tells Her Story. In it, she has to give a report about something important in her life. When her parents, who are divorced, don't make it to an important basketball game, Julie realizes that though upsetting, the divorce is one of the most important things to happen to her.

Julie's Hoops Outfit
Julie's school outfit is her basketball uniform. It is sold with her basketball gear, rather than the two being separate, as is the case with the other characters' school outfits and school supplies.


 * Jersey
 * The basketball jersey is lime green with blue and white detail. The front has the team logo - a white jaguar silhouette and 'Jaguars' above in blue - and her team number, 22. It is sleeveless with a v-neck and velcros up the back.


 * Shorts
 * The shorts are a jersey athletic style in blue. The slip on with elastic in the waist.


 * Headband
 * Julie's sweatband is lime green terrycloth.


 * Socks and Shoes
 * The socks and shoes are white with blue accents, again in an athletic style. The socks are tall with two blue stripes near the top. The sneakers resemble the Adidas brand with two stripes on either side.


 * Basketball
 * The basketball is 1970s style in red, white, and blue.


 * Basketball Bag
 * Instead of a bookbag, Julie's bag is meant to hold her basketball. It is orange with blue trim and two blue handles. On one side is printed "Alley Oop," a reference to the nickname her best friend Ivy Lin gives her.
