Edsall Says No Names On Back Of Jerseys Is Coming

Pats wore white 3 straight SBs. Lost the only one they got the choice.
OT kinda thing, sorry.

I say a plain blue and/or white helmet with small (Buckeye like/sized) current Husky logos for game wins only. Not touchdowns, just a logo for a win. Talk about motivation to play to the end and ensure a win, team comradery and all that. You win and everyone on the team gets rewarded instantly. Of course the negative nancy's will laugh it off as these guys walking around with blank helmets but that's the point. Win and you won't have a blank helmet. And imagine the pride upper classmen will have once this ship gets turned around and they can add 10 plus logos to their helmet in a season. Possibly have fresman and sophomore wins on one side of the helmet, junior and senior wins on the other.

It actually was used in the early days of UConn football then disappeared for a 70 years

Teams dish out new uniforms every week. Don't know how much it matters anymore. Just keep the block C in the mix and they're good to go.

The 1970s was not the early days of UConn football... The team was formed in 1896. So when he said the block C disappeared for 70 years that means that it would have last been used in the 1930s. Or 40+ years before the start of your helmet graphic. But interesting note about 1976, it was the first year that 4 point chin straps were required in college football.

Early like pre-helmet. Do those date back the 70 years I referenced? If it disappeared would it be in that chart?

Things that would bother me in the past seem unimportant. Put names on, take them off, who friggin cares. Year 3 for RE2 and something better improve other than uniforms.

We were the first to have names on the jerseys in the Yankee conference. Casciola put them on. After he left the names reappeared under Jackson.
