Anything but Uniform: Yale/Brown

Penn goes for the Ivy title tonight against Yale at the Palestra. Here's what I wrote about the Quakers' two opponents last time around.

I just want to emphasize that it's ridiculous that Yale has a totally different home and road jersey. This kind of thing happens in hockey, -- Pittsburgh Penguins of the 1990s is one example -- the occasional baseball (Yankees or Cubs) but doesn't really happen in hoops. The differences, if any, are usually when a team will put the team name on the home jersey and the city name on the away jersey. Baseball teams do this too, occasionally.

But to have two different styles like Yale does is in my mind, unprecedented for a basketball team. And I'm not talking about third jerseys that look different, either.

Hopefully a large crowd will be there tonight to see the Elis' anomaly.
