Utah unveiled “Neo Classic” throwback uniforms for its October 10th homecoming game against Cal. In a word, they are pretty.
The Utes went with an interesting hodgepodge approach, picking and choosing uniform flourishes from different eras and combining them for one super throwback. The results could have been disastrous, but instead, the mosaic works. From the release:
Elements drawn from various decades that are incorporated into the design include:
• Interlocking UU logo on the helmet from the 1960s
• Font for the numbers from the 1970s
• Stripes on the jerseys from the 1970s-1990s.
