nugent4president Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Not sure if it was mentioned during the Louisville game, but the University of Massachusetts were wearing black jerseys for at least the second time against Xavier tonight on ESPN. Can't find any good photos from the game, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Well ZooMass has used Black in their color scheme for many years, so it's not just having a black uniform to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I don't think the black jersey is new either...I think they've worn one as an alternate for the last few seasons, for both Nike and adidas.

lou Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Here's the reason for the UMass black road jerseys, taken from a team source.BTW... they used to just have black as the alternates, going all the way back to 1994-95 when they would just wear them once a year. (The reason it was only once was they lost at G.Wash and the superstitious Coach Calipari forbid them to come back until the following year against the worst team in the league, so they wouldn't lose again.) True story. Anyways....this year they decided the blacks would be the full time away jersey instead of the maroons. Why, you ask? Because the maroons ran in the wash and now have pink "bleeding" on the white letters and numbers. Another true story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
