Its an intimidation factor and this volleyball team realizes it. If you use it or not outside it doesnt change anything

what exactly does it waste?

i never wore eyeblack until my senior year when i let someone talk me into it. It ended up just getting all over my gloves. Never wore it again

I used eyeblack for baseball in high school for the sole reason I thought it made me look cool, because I smeared it down an inch or so. It serves no purpose, but I have no problem admitting my reasoning for it.

I don't know what purpose it serves in volleyball, but I've got some naturally eye black right now. I fractured my cheekbone Tuesday night and my face is pretty messed up. Blackest black eye I've ever seen.

It looks dumb, it stains uniforms(baseball uniforms anyways) and just gets in your eyes and everywhere else when it sweats off. What I meant by a waste is a waste of money

Eye black in men's slowpitch trumps this. Think about it.

I also would wear eyeblack during football just because I thought it made me look badass lol. Could never really tell if it actually helped against light or not.

Volleyball is a sport that should be played only by women, kind of like Field Hockey
