Soooo apparently Cincinnati is the only team in the American Athletic Conference not wearing patches with the AAC’s logo.
This clearly means one of two things.
- In an effort for long term savings, since UC is Big 12- or ACC-bound as it is, Cincinnati collaborated with Under Armour to provide them with uniforms without a conference patch on them. Each one must be stitched into the fabric and considering material and labor, savings approach roughly $4.27 per jersey*, or upwards of $400 per year for the entire football team. Every little bit counts and it makes little financial sense for UC to spend those hundreds of dollars on patches only to throw them away with their impending upgrade to a new conference just around the corner.
