These photos have clarified for me one of the reasons I prefer last year's uniforms with the thin black line around the numbers.  I wrote earlier that the unlined numbers look like practice jerseys to me, meaning they look kind of cheap.  I have always felt that way about USC's maroon jersey with the gold numbers.  The reason they look cheap is that they are clearly just silk screened on like cheap t-shirts.  The true traditional jersey style had sewn on numbers and letters, like the nice baseball and hockey jerseys that are worn by the players.  The addition of the thin line on the Stanford numbers makes them look a little like real sewn on numbers of true old-school jerseys.  The lines around the Utah numbers are too big and look clunky.  The Stanford jersey looks like a finished, high quality jersey to me.  

Also, in the photo of the team, the line is barely visible, just the way the sewing line would be.  Perfect.

Cheers,
Pete F.
