New Uniforms



Yesterday was UMass' annual media day. Read about it here . An image gallery is here .

This was also the debut of the new Nike Uniforms. In the dozens of images, there is not one that features a full length close up!

The image above of Raunny Rosario is the best I could find that shows the details of the uniform.

Rosario is an interesting and inspirational story. He lost an eye in a childhood accident. Despite this , he was a two time Boston Globe All-Scholastic in high school. He had 3,669 career yards and 52 touchdowns.

At UMass, he has been mostly a back-up for Baylark. However, when given the chance he has been very effective. His career totals are 190 899 4.7 3 TD. His longest gain is 62 yards.

4.7/yrds/carry is pretty impressive! He should break a 1000 yards for his career this year.
