Would Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith be proud?

Or, as the Valencia High girls’ basketball team might hope, would the Men in Black be intimidated enough to reach for their carbonizers and neuralizers?

In the Valencia team’s ‘Women in Purple’ poster that plays off last summer’s movie starring Smith and Jones, 12 Viking players give their hardest looks, sport their darkest shades and don their purple uniforms.

The poster, which took about 10 minutes to shoot, cost substantially less than the multimillion-dollar budget for ‘MiB.’ Total expenditures for ‘WiP’: nominal printing costs and $12 for a dozen pairs of imitation Ray-Ban sunglasses.

The concept was brainstormed by Valencia Coach Greg Hayes and orchestrated by booster club president Joan Warden, who received free photography and graphic touch-ups from local merchants.

“We will profit not from sales of the poster [$1 each], but from people looking at us in a whole different way,� said Warden, whose daughter, Kelly, is a senior forward.

“We’re trying to show the community that we’re a team now that not only looks good on the poster, but can play and win. We want to get spectators to come to our games.�

Winning games also helps.

Series 4 De-Atomizers aside, the Vikings (16-4, 4-0 in Foothill League play) are off to their best start in the three-year history of the program and are ranked No. 10 in The Times’ regional poll.

The Vikings, however, will not wear shades for an important game tonight against Hart (14-2, 4-0), ranked No. 3 in the region.

“That’d be a bit presumptuous,� Hayes said.
