SALT LAKE CITY — Goodbye mountains, stripes are in at Utah.
The University of Utah football team released its news uniforms Tuesday, which are absent of the mountains on the shoulder of years past. The new uniforms come in three color combinations — red, white and black — and have the “Utah stripe” on the shoulder and pant legs as part of the biggest design change.
The university said the angle on the pants “symbolizes the slope of the neighboring Wasatch Mountain range.” It added that the font on the jerseys is meant to “mimic” the Block U logo.
