This might not be thread worthy, but just thought it was worth pointing out the new sleek and modern designed jerseys for this year. I really enjoy them a lot more than in previous years, especially the blue ones. Sadly I couldn't attend Midnight Madness, hope it went well and was enjoyable, but from the video posted on Facebook, I seem to really enjoy them at first glance.
More importantly though, I noticed that they decided to go with the last names on the backs. Something I am not sure they have done in a while (if ever) so if anybody knows/remembers if/when they ever decided to go with this in the past, I am very curious to know. I am sure this probably helps with television commentators and new fans attending the game. But not sure how I feel about it. When I first asked my father, "Why don't they have their names on the back?" He'd always respond with "It's not about the name on the back, it's about the name on the front"

Re: Jerseys
The women had those uniforms last year, and it was especially nice having the names on the back during times when I couldn't stream with audio, like at work. I was hoping the men would get them as well and I'm glad they did.

Oh nice. I figured that was the case. I know for a fact my mother who attends a couple of games a year, and any guests I invite will surely love it as it helps to follow the game and the team in general throughout the season.ProudofPride wrote:The women had those uniforms last year, and it was especially nice having the names on the back during times when I couldn't stream with audio, like at work.

Re: Jerseys
Hofstra Has NEVER had names on the back of any men's' sports uniforms until last night. Great to see! But they were pretty hard to read and the names were small, particularly with long or hyphenated names...PROGRESS!

Love the uni design - very slick
I may be minority, but I'm not a fan of names on the back in college - it's just not about that at this level...at least, it shouldn't be. But I do get the value of it for fans and media to decipher who's who

Re: Jerseys
It's also for the kids...they want their names on their backs...Recruits take note!

Re: Jerseys
I like it, a partial throwback to our '05-'06 jerseys. As for the names on the back, I'm all for that too, but they are barely legible from the stands!

Re: Jerseys
Agreed it needs to be cleaned up. Just white letters on blue uniforms and blue letters on white. Don't try to be too fancy. Keep it simple
