I don't get it. We see a football team who died in an aircraft crash, still wearing their uniforms. Don't the deceased appear the way they do when they died? Why was this whole team wearing their uniforms on board the airplane, including their helmets? It makes no sense.

There is no evidence that people appear they way they looked when they died. It's always been the thing with ghosts that they appear (usually) manifested as a projection of their own memory of themselves, more crudely 'how they remember themselves.'
A similar is seen in comic book characters like Sandman. He almost always appears to be wearing clothes, looking human, when he actually has no clothes and no real human form since his accident. He simply defaults to a form that projects how he remembers himself.
Please do not make negative comments about a film YOU NEVER SAW. It makes you look stupid.
That ^ is what I thought.
The receptionist in the movie tells the Maitlands that death is an individual experience (words to that effect) as she points to the other dead in the waiting room.
The Maitlands themselves are probably remembering themselves as they looked prior to their accident, and not how they would have realistically looked as drowning victims.

It' been a lot of people's perception that when one dies they are stuck in those clothes in the afterlife just like in ghost.
shareI thought their bus crashed and always thought that they were a high school team. They were either on their way to or from a game; so they were in uniform, so they could get off the bus ready to go if they were late.

They were a handful of players on the way to a game when the bus crashed. However, in this movie there is also a reference to a "Flight 409 Plane crash" and some people are confusing the two. The Football team are not the Flight 409 passengers.
shareAccording to Warren Skaaren's rewrite, Juno mentions she's got a "Plane load of football players crashed in the mid-west...they need a lot of help, just with the basics." After humorously reminiscing about Amityville...
