I thought the deep red numbers on dark blue jerseies was strategically designed to make the players as anonmyous as possible...

... and they were effective in that regard.

Ugliest Arizona uniforms I've ever seen....

What is it with you and school colors? We use white too, and most of the people here who don't like the numbers would want an outline with white outline/color number or color outline/white number.

I'm not the one with the issue. It's the people who have aneurysms on this board whenever the word "uniform" is mentioned. Gotta chill out.

Just thinking our uniforms are ugly (I thought we upgraded from ugly to blah with the recent update) is just an opinion.

But I still don't get why you love school colors but object to what most people want, which is added white. It's not like white isn't a school color.

You're such a worthless poster. You bring nothing to the discussion but hostility. Ever. Even your stupid handle tries too hard, but really just highlights our rival over and over with your incessant keyboard sharting.

Nobody is confused about the school colors. At all. The discussion is about design - a topic many are interested in. If your simple fucking mind can't deal with that, stay out of the thread.

The white white white last night looked sharp but I'm not motivated to buy an "Away" jersey for my main weekend attire.

Speaking of which, how are football jersey sales going?
Anyone know? Better design = Better Sales.

As an "Old Timer" alum, I haven't been motivated to buy the latest Jersey's with the Red, with no white piping, on Blue that has been out lately. Would it have been that hard to make the numerals white on home jerseys? Too Dark!!

The last jersey's that I kinda liked were the gradients, which everybody hated including the NCAA.

And don't forget to make the logo BIGGER!

I saw a red jersey at the bookstore. Looked pretty sharp in person.

The cut seems really tight, too. I was thinking of a XL for my kid, he's usually a L.

Just because a school uses white it doesn't mean it's an official school color. It is kind of necessary when making away uniforms. I'm not making this shit up, it's publicly available in the university's trademark information.

Here's what I'm talking about - Arizona's football uniforms are specifically mentioned....

NCAA uniform numbers getting harder to read, causing problems

New jersey designs have created an unintended problem for referees, media members and fans -- difficult-to-read player numbers.

There’s a saying in sports: “You can’t tell the players without a scorecard.” With the uniforms being worn by some NCAA teams these days, you can’t tell the players even with a scorecard.

College sports’ never-ending uniform craze has included a number of jerseys with unreadable numbers, which have in turn created competitive concerns. It’s a small but increasing minority of schools with numbers on their jerseys that are tough to read. In the grand scheme of NCAA problems these days, this one hardly rises to the top.

But there are enough concerns being raised about deciphering jersey numbers that the NCAA is taking efforts to clean up what’s apparently becoming a gamesmanship issue. Some coaches want the confusion to gain an edge so future opponents have trouble scouting their team.

“It’s been a growing concern over the last 10 years or so, just the number of different types of uniforms we see across all sports,” said Ty Halpin, NCAA associate director for playing rules and officiating. “In many ways it’s been a good growth because manufacturers and our campuses are being creative in finding different ways to bring some interest to the games.

“But we’ve kind of come to that dividing line where things may have gone too far in some respects and are now creating a competitive issue. The coaches understand it’s a pretty big competitive impact. If you can’t see the numbers clearly in football, it impacts how you coach the team, how you scout the opponent, how you plan for a lot of things.”

The problem is so prevalent that Ira Thor, sports information director at Division III New Jersey City University, created a slideshow presentation that has been circulated nationally. The presentation includes photo galleries of difficult-to-read jerseys in 10 NCAA sports from all divisions.

Most of the uniforms used as examples come from smaller divisions. Arizona, Louisville, Kentucky and Toledo wear some of the FBS football uniforms that Thor cites as problematic.

In Division I men’s basketball, questionable uniforms are shown from Wichita State, Stanford, Oakland, Mercer and Manhattan. Oakland has perhaps the oddest combination: black numbers on black uniforms.

It’s happening in lots of sports. In one women’s basketball photo, Washington State confusingly has numbers on top of its logo. Soccer teams have uniforms with difficult-to-read numbers due to vertical or horizontal stripes. Men’s lacrosse recently made a rule that all uniform numbers must “clearly contrast” the color of the uniform by 2016.

Some schools wear these confusing jerseys for marketing purposes and to jazz up fan and player interest. Some wear them because they got put on accidentally while unaware of the NCAA's rules. And some schools simply want an advantage competitively.

“We’ve had coaches tell SIDs in a couple instances that’s exactly why they do it, so they can’t get scouted,” Thor said. “It’s an edge. Everybody wants to be Bill Belichick, I guess.”

NCAA talking with Nike, Adidas, Under Armour

Halpin said the NCAA has made a more concerted effort in recent months to meet with manufacturer designers -- not just the executives overseeing specific college brands, as NCAA officials typically do -- to explain the importance of being able to better read the numbers. (Attempts by CBSSports.com to interview Nike, Adidas and Under Armour officials for this article were unsuccessful.)

Manufacturers don’t want these problems to happen and are open to corrections, said Halpin. But he added improvements likely won’t occur overnight because the companies often work on a two-year cycle in design production.

Technology has dramatically improved how uniforms get made. Manufacturers can be more creative by bleaching multiple designs and colors right into the fabric.

“What’s frustrating for a lot of (NCAA) members is this is almost exclusively an issue with college athletics deals,” said David Worlock, NCAA director of media coordination and statistics. “You never see Aaron Rodgers or LeBron James wearing a uniform where you can’t see the number.”

The NFL allows teams to change their uniforms only once in a five-year period. The NCAA has no such rule, meaning teams can change uniform designs every game if they wanted without any one central entity approving the look. Conference offices, the NCAA and officiating groups have taken different stabs at reviewing some uniform prototypes in advance. For instance, the NCAA is currently reviewing some new uniforms teams plan to unveil in the NCAA men's basketball tournament next month.

There’s another big difference between pros and colleges: Nike, Adidas and Under Armour are the primary outfitters for NCAA schools so they’re constantly competing with each other over designs and to market their products. In the NFL, all 32 NFL teams currently wear Nike.

The NFL does extensive photo tests both indoors and outdoors to see what uniforms look like on television before owners approve a design.

“We haven’t gone to that level yet, but I think that’s something we’d be open to,” Halpin said. “I think what you might see before it becomes an NCAA issue is conferences starting to think, ‘We need to look at this because every one of our games is on television and it’s a pretty big concern.’ I think you’ll see more TV testing at media days.”

When a problem occurs with a jersey at a school that’s perceived to be one of the top programs, manufacturers typically correct the issue quickly, Halpin said. But he noted that most NCAA schools order from a team catalogue and many times contract someone in the local community to put names and numbers on the back of jerseys.

“Those people often are not even thinking about whether our rules should be followed,” Halpin said. “In many cases, it’s accidental and they don’t realize it’s not visible enough.”
