When you think about the sport of wrestling, one of the first images that likely comes to mind is the singlet. This one-piece wrestling uniform is what we have grown accustomed to seeing during wrestling matches. Whether you love them or hate them, singlets are what you will typically see these athletes wearing. However, this was not always the case.
