Women Gym bags. Are they necessary?

We get our gym bags today! I've always had a matching bag, this year for optional a they are chevron duffel bags with our monogram on them and the compulsory shave draw string bags that were custom made by ozone

We have team bags for the first time this year and DD is really excited about them. They are a duffle bag style and DD can almost zip herself up in them, so they are very roomy which is helpful with us living in a colder climate and have many more layers to take off and store during a meet. I agree a bag in general is a necessity, but to have them all matching isn't really that important. They do look more like a team, however, and the girls seem to be thrilled over them. We paid about $30 for ours and it has the gym name on them but not individual names so I was going to do that for DD just so they don't get mixed up!
