The United States uniforms for Sunday's Olympic men's hockey game against Canada are nearly identical to those worn by the 1960 gold-medal winning team at Squaw Valley.
-I found this article on the S'Trib's website. This short article talks about the resemblance between the 2010 men's hockey team uniforms and the 1960 men's hockey team.
-The lead works, but there is no novelty to it. It covers the Who, What, When, Where, but is very boring. It gives the reader knowledge of exactly what the article is about, but in no way does it make the reader want to continue. I understand that there isn't much more that the story can say that the lead doesn't, however the writer could have taken this story a bit further and expanded into other sports and any sort of similarities between 2010's uniforms and years' past. More detail could have been painted in the given article also.
I think this lead has all of the things a lead should include such as the Who, What, When, and Where, but I agree that is it very basic and boring. The reporter could have added something to make the story sound more interesting I think.
