Our friends at Scout have the lowdown on UCLA’s new jerseys. The football team tweeted a series of photos yesterday of a new look for the home uniform and Scout reports that there’s more than meets the eye.
The jerseys will be customizable to player and position, Scout writes, as head coach Jim Mora played a big part in the redesign:
For instance, quarterback Josh Rosen would be able to get more flexibility in the throwing shoulder of his jersey, or an offensive lineman could get a looser fit around the jersey’s torso, if he preferred.
