UM Jersey Talk : Don’t Believe The Hype

Again the message boards are running rampant with alternate Miami Hurricanes jersey talk. Saw a post today where a fan states that his “sources” informed him that UM will be sporting black jerseys at some point this season.

Just like two years back, this info is wrong. One more time for the record, there will be NO black Miami Hurricanes football jersey this fall. That is simply another Intraweb rumor.

allCanes.com is an official carrier of Nike merchandise and has been since the 1970s. If you want UM jersey-related info, we’re your “source”.

Miami is again one of ten teams that will be part of Nike’s Pro Combat line this fall. It will be a different jersey than you saw last year in the season finale at South Florida and the bowl game.

For starters, the Canes will be wearing the new-look jersey at home this year, on Saturday November 20th when Virginia Tech comes to town. The new uniform will consist of the following:

– A green helmet. (After all the joking over the years, seriously.)
– Orange jersey. (Numbers are same font, palm tree pattern inside number.)
– Orange pants. (Pattern inside number is same pattern running down leg. “U” logo by the knee.)
– Orange / Green / Black shoes.
– Same gloves as last year, forming a “U” when put together.

Michael “The Playmaker” Irvin will be Miami’s former player acting as ‘team rep’ for the new-look jerseys and more info will be available Wednesday morning on Nike’s Facebook page. Check back there for the latest … not on the ill-informed message boards.
