In the college football uniform combos post the FSU all-white uniform is for next Friday (9/16) while the Kentucky uniform is for today.
Thanks, John. Updated to reflect FSU’s is for next Friday’s game.
Sharks are finally figuring it out. Getting rid of the orange is a huge improvement. This set comes in as a close second to their original look.
Though Penn State plays without NOBs, fans can now add them to replica jerseys
No.
As much as I think that PSU could *slightly* upgrade their unis, that’s as bad as putting a NOB to a Yankees fan jersey.
In the age of NIL you need the player’s name on the jersey. Otherwise you don’t know who the player is. Example-The Number 11 jersey is for Abdul Carter. However, a NNOB jersey could be Lavar Arrington, Navarro Bowman. Matt McGloin or Micah Parsons.
Frankly I wouldn’t mind the names on the jerseys and a blue stripe on the pants.
Oh and a few years back for Christmas I gave my adult son a blue 26 jersey with the name Barkley on it. He wears it proudly.
