Inside Cal's uniform changes
Maybe as jarring as the gold stripe down the middle of the new Cal helmets, will be the lack of names on the back of the newly designed jerseys. Coach Jeff Tedford removed the names before last season's Armed Forces Bowl as a tribute to the military, and he admitted Monday that the tribute will continue this season because it was a twofold statement. As part of a last year's late-season freefall - losing six of seven games after being No. 2 in the nation - Cal looked uninspired in losses to clearly less-talented Washington and Stanford teams.

I've always understood the no names on the Jersey concept... No individuals, just 1 team. But as a fan, I like to be able to see the name

I hate articles that discuss uniform changes without actually showing, ya know, the changed unifroms. Would seem a logical thing to do.

I'm pulling for Nyan Boateng to have a good season with the Golden Bears. You know, I got to rep for Brooklyn. That's the football pride of Lincoln High School right there...so go get it out in Berkeley!!

Tedford had to do something to start the year afresh. Removing the names from the jerseys is good, but just points up the fact that Ted could not harness the stars he had on the team last year to work together. (Too lengthy to go into details, but he basically lost control after the lay-off week in Oct.) The receivers are gone now and he can try to get back the team concept. That's his most important job because he's got legitimate talent and could pull upsets. Right now Cal is slotted to pull in at #4 in the conference. A lot's going to ride on whether Ted can make the players believe in the team again. Success or failure will depend on that. If it's failure, Ted will be gone at the end of the season. I am rooting for you, Jeff.

I remember that Lou Holtz did the "No name on the jersey" thing to an undisicplined South Carolina team, but it didn't help much.

It may not have worked out for him at Florida but Cal is rebuilding at receiver and he has a shot to finally show off his skills.

PS I hope there is no more Oregonification of football uniforms. The Ducks look ridiculous is their candy wrapper uniforms.
