Jags Getting New Uniforms, Too

At a time when Lions fans are waiting for evidence of the new uniforms that their favorite team will be wearing in 2009, fans of another franchise named for a jungle cat also will soon be getting a new reason to plunk down good money for a new jersey. Or two. Or three. The Jaguars will be getting new uniforms this year. Here’s a description of the new duds, form Vic Ketchman of Jaguars.com: “Long before last season began, I heard rumblings about [owner] Wayne Weaver wanting a cleanup and standardization of the uniform design. The concern was that there were too many combinations and that the Jaguars were losing identity. What are their true colors and which is their dominant color? I think the new uniform design is going to define the team’s colors and provide distinct home and away combinations.” The Jags currently have black helmets with a logo on each side, teal home jerseys, white road jerseys, and a black alternate jersey. They also wear white pants and black pants interchangeably with the teal and white jerseys.
