It all I , started when I was looking to get more into college football. I mean, I've always been a sports fan, but I wanted to dive deeper, you know? So, I picked the UConn Huskies - mostly 'cause I liked the name, Huskies sounds cool, right?
First thing I did was, obviously, check out their mascot. Turns out, it's this dog named Jonathan, after some governor from way back when. They picked him through a survey in their student paper, which I thought was pretty neat. And the logo? They changed it in 2013 to this more fierce-looking Husky. Some guy from Nike, Clint Shaner, he was the main brain behind it. Apparently, he went and asked the fans and alumni what they thought, which is smart.
Then I got into the whole uniform thing. Man, there's a lot out there! You can find all sorts of stuff - jerseys, can holders, you name it. I spent hours just browsing through online shops. They've got stuff for men, women, even kids. I was really tempted to buy a jersey, but I held off for a bit.
- I started looking at the history of their uniforms, trying to see how they've changed over the years.
- There are these websites that show you every uniform they've worn in each year's NCAA Football competition. It's kind of crazy to see the evolution.
- I even found a place where you can see all the combinations they wore in 2023.
After all that digging, I finally decided to get myself a jersey. I mean, how can you call yourself a fan without one, right? They say each jersey is made with this premium, durable material. I'm hoping it's as comfortable as they say.
The Final Touch
So, yeah, that's where I'm at now. Waiting for the jersey to arrive. I'm pretty stoked to finally rep the Huskies. It's been a fun little project, learning all this stuff about the team and their gear. Who knew there was so much to know about college football uniforms?
