It's refreshing to see that someone at that school has a sense of history. Good on them:

The uniforms the Utes will wear this season have numerous references to the USS Salt Lake City. Here is a look at what those references are:

•USS Salt Lake City is written across the chest of the jersey and ‘one ship fleet’ is seen on the back neckline.

•In the video reveal, the jersey number is 25, a nod to the vessel’s hull number.

•The base color of the uniforms are dark gray and feature ‘dazzle-camo accents’ on the shoulders, sides of the pants, and gloves like those seen on the USS Salt Lake City.

•A single battle star is on the right shoulder meaning when the ball is in play, there will be 11 stars on the field, signifying the 11 battle stars earned by the USS Salt Lake City.

•One of those battles is seen on the helmets, each of which are hand-painted by one artist.
