oldschoolvikings Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Watching UCONN / PITT today, I'm thinking about that arched name across the front of the jerseys. Front arches are everywhere in Baseball, Basketball (unfortunately, NHL these days), but I can't think of another football example. Obviously the jersey cut doesn't lend itself to this, but strangely, I really like it. Can anybody think of other examples?Also, UCONN has a pretty nice set. Are there silver pants? Cuz that would be a giant improvement over the lame mono-look. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yes, In looking at them they seem to be a recolored version of the old Maryland Nike Uniforms before they switched to UnderArmour. Still I agree they are a nice set of uniforms and I think it works better fro UConn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Because red is not part of the updated look that they did about 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 The University of Houston had a slightly arched font on their jerseys in the 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben5 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yep, there are silver pants. They look good too, although we've used them only for the first 3 home games this year. Another interesting fact: the script on the front is screen printed on, but the numbers are all tackle twill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Said it before, and I'll say it again - IMO, UCONN has the best head-to-toe uniform in college football. Every aspect of it is perfect or near-perfect. It is an awesome example of a contemporary but classic uniform.

tBBP Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Way back in the day, Alabama A&M also used that radial arch for the wordmark on their football uniforms. Currently, they are still doing it...but with a much smaller vertically arched wordmark.And yeah...Connecticut also gets my vote for one of college football's best looks. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spearhead Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thats pretty sharp actually. I'm not even kldding I really like those. How long was this used?Through most of the 1960s starting in about 1963 when Bill Yoeman arrived and into the early 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
