Just received the Yale media guide in the mail ... gone are the old, simple 'Yale' jerseys. They are replaced by what looks like a heavy-jowled cartoon bulldog head streaking across a partial eclipse. 'Yale' is relegated to a strip at the bottom of the jersey, thus to be obscured by the act of players tucking in the front of their shirts. A note inside the media guide indicates that the jerseys were designed by New Haven-based Starter, the same people who have all those annoying advertisements on T.V. So much for tradition. I also noticed that Vermont had new uniforms on the UVM/BU telecast. It was tough to assess on the tube, but the mountain lion (I presume) intertwined with the 'V' on the front looked an awful lot like a giant rat to me. Maybe it was the tail. What is the response up north, I wonder? Any other uniform changes out there?
