Yes, there was. Bob Norton stated that the Friars players did not like the
pinstrip home uniforms and wanted to play in their black road uniforms.
Paul Pooley apperently honored the players' request and asked Jerry York if
Providence could wear their road uniforms and have BC wear white and Jerry
said yes.
 
So, the questions are: Did Paul Pooley order the pinstrip home uniforms for
Providence?  Will they be replaced next year?
 
As a side note, Jerry York was allowed to change the BC home and away
uniforms this year.  Due to his late arrival the new uniforms were not ready
until after the first semster.  Credit must be given to BC for allowing
Jerry to get new uniforms in mid-season.
