Original[]
The coach is a man with dark green hair and looks like either a rapper or a DJ.
He wears a lime green and yellow-green cap that covers most of his hair, and a mint green V-Neck T-shirt with dark green and white rail-like designs, with the sleeves rolled under his elbow. This shirt is layered by a darker green and sky blue vest.
He also wears a dark green wrist on his left wrist, a yellow-green fingerless glove, dark green pants with a sky blue pocket border, and white sneakers with teal accents and green laces. He has a lime green outline.
