FAYETTEVILLE — The Darren McFadden-era throwback uniforms unveiled by Arkansas on Tuesday were a long time coming.
Jake Rosch, the Razorbacks' director of football equipment, said he has heard fans clamor for a version of the uniform - worn by Arkansas between 2005-07 - since he began working for the program in 2014.
Shortly after he was hired in December 2017, Arkansas coach Chad Morris began working with Rosch and others within the department to make the throwback uniforms a reality.
"Coach Morris loved it as soon as he saw it," Rosch said. "He pushed really hard to get it earlier, but he understands how all of that stuff takes time.
