Your fans would appreciate your thoughts on these jerseys on PP. Bonus points if you predict Lamar Scruggs will strike this pose after he catches a TD against Auburn. -Devoted PP Reader
Ok, so first things first. The Wounded Warrior Project is one of my top five charities. It's sole mission is to assist wounded service members. So having established that, let's get to the uniform.
It looks great. The semi-camoflague pattern is nicely done, and the best part is hidden in this picture: in lieu of names on the back, the players will have words like "Honor", "Duty" "Courage", "Service" etc. I believe last year Garcia had "Service" which would have been "Community Service" given how many run-ins with the law he has had. I was a little worried that the uniform would go crazy a la Nike Pro Combat, but Under Armour has done an excellent job of blending the Carolina look with the Wounded Warrior look. I'm not sure if they'll do something with the WR's gloves, but putting the logo there would be cool. Ultimately, I give this uniform 4.5 out of 5 stars. As anyone who's listened to Lattimore's post-game interviews, no matter how well you do, there's always room for improvement.
I hope that USC Athletics makes this a tradition that they keep. I'd love to see this for baseball, basketball, soccer, and other sports. Obviously, football gets the most attention, but there's no reason that each sport cannot do this once a season.
As for Scruggs, I don't think he'll get a TD against Auburn. The way our passing attack is looking (not his fault), he'll be lucky to get a few catches.
