In the inaugural year of The Basketball Tournament, Boeheim’s Army unveiled a script jersey but the jerseys themselves left something to be desired. Last year the jerseys got better, but ‘Boeheim’s Army’ was spelled out in a block font.
This year’s jerseys are the best yet, offering a clean finish with the vintage Syracuse script font. This is also the first year that Puma — more recently pushing into basketball brand — is sponsoring Boeheim’s Army jerseys.
“Yeah these are better than last year. I had a dress last year,” John Gillon quipped.
Gillon of course dropped 32 points in last night’s win over South Jamaica Kings, so it probably helped that he didn’t have a jersey hanging down to his knees.
