That was my first thought as well. But, it is hard to tell for sure from the picture. From that, they appear to be a bit too thick and stiff from that photo. Has anyone on our board actually seen or touched them? We've had posters weigh in with confidence on both sides (receiver/not receiver) of this vexing matter. To me they do not look to have the same form as the gloves Kalif is wearing for the Broncos in latest linked photo.......
NIKE vs. Adidas KY...
Both companies have 20+ various types of gloves in multiple color combos for skill position players.

I love the "In this sign you shall conquer." This should be on all team uniforms.

If those are game uni's, I don't like them. Trying to do too many things, ---and aren't you required to have numerals on both sides?

Not a fan of the new look either, PP. Putting a cross on everything is way way over doing things -- including the helmets.

Not sure about the look, but "different" does sell today. I'll wait and see how they look on the team in our opener before I make up my mind.

I will confess to ignorance as to the phrase "new @hcrossfb purple gun shows for the season" but I doubt these are game uniforms. My impression is these are practice uniforms as I agree they are too "busy" to be game unis.
And looking closer now on my desktop than when I originally looked on my iPhone, the cross looks like it is on shorts, not the jersey, which has the helmet logo.

My impression is these are practice uniforms as I agree they are too "busy" to be game unis. And looking closer now on my desktop than when I originally looked on my iPhone, the cross looks like it is on separate shorts, not the jersey, which has the helmet logo which reinforces my belief these are not game uniforms. .

As a game uniform, it would be classified as illegal equipment, and the player(s) wearing them would not be allowed on the field and the team would be charged a timeout. If the entire team is so dressed, unless there are other uniforms that can be found that are 'legal', HC would presumably forfeit the game.. CTG and the equipment manager would be fired soon thereafter. www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/MEMO_Uniform_Rules_05222014.pdf

So, PP, in your roundabout way, I think you are agreeing these are practice uniforms. Sooo, I think they are cool. You know how all those schools have stuff like "through these doors are the greatest athletes/winners (or some such positive comment)?" Having "In hoc signo vinces" on practice unis gets the team thinking that they will achieve victory following the "Holy Cross" and after all, despite what some posters think, that is the name and symbol of our alma mater.

It does not sound as though there would be a forfeit. However, it s most unlikely that HC would willingly do something that could lead to such penalties.

Presumably the new game uniforms will be unveiled Monday as the HC Equipment tweet states. I can't imagine that the uniform supplier would produce anything that would not comply with every NCAA regulation

KY has it right. As the tweet says, new game uniforms will be disclosed on Monday. These look like warm-up or walk-through type uniforms.

I'd buy one of the purple practice jerseys if they are for sale (not used, of course ) Do we sell those sorts or things? I can't find it on our bookstore website, although I thought there was another apparel site that was put out maybe a year or two ago. That could just be wishful thinking/a bad memory.

I've heard we now even have a Jesuit pope! We (heart) our Jesuit Pope!
Maybe we can get Pope Francis' face on the back of the practice unis!? That would be even better . . . you know, just in case anyone forgot that they are attending a seminary, especially the many Muslims, Jews, Protestants, agnostics and atheists on the team.

sader1970- I appreciate your observation that there are "many Muslims, Jews, Protestants, agnostics and atheists on the team." I wonder how they feel about crucifixes, Latin phrases, etc. on their athletic equipment? Just askin. (Let's set aside the fact that they're being paid $200K+ to be on the team.)

Ha, those are the rules with respect to color. The rules with respect to numbers are that if the numbers aren't the proper size, or don't exist at all, the player is not allowed on the field. I agree with Breezy, these look to be walk-through uni's, and probably don't have numbers on the backs either. If so, this may be something from the Billy B. bag of tricks! LOL There seem to be students at HC who have mastered drone flying; I don't believe there is any NCAA rule prohibiting using a drone to observe an opponent's practice. Why else do you think HC is spending tens of million to hide practices starting in 2017??

Remember when the Muslim students demanded that all Crosses be taken down at Georgetown? The college was a Catholic institution when those students applied...wasn't it?

However, one small nit to pick. The rule says an athlete "may" be denied permission to enter the game. It does not say he "will" be excluded by not being allowed on the field. In any case, it would be foolish to accept any penalty that could so easily be avoided.

rgs, I expect there are rules about wearing the number assigned on the roster. If number 21 runs like a tortoise, and number 22 runs like a hare, no giving 21's number to 22 and faking the opponent out.

There are, but if the other team is informed of a switch, it can be done (with torn uniforms for example), I believe. Also, there are some "banned" alternate colors. After Navy used pink helmets for eligible receivers (in the Army game), they were subsequently banned.
