The vast majority of UCLA football supporters are all in agreement that the Clarendon font must be used on all UCLA football uniforms. Aesthetically, they are superior to the generic block numbering witnessed on almost every college football uniform. Clarendon is unique to UCLA, and pays a tasteful homage to the great UCLA football teams of the past. UCLA football has positioned itself for what promises to be years of unprecedented success. Through Jim Mora and his tireless staff, we've been exposed to levels of excellence that have been absent from the UCLA football program for quite some time. The most important aspect of the "BruinRevolution" has been the arrival of limitless expectations and in only his second season Jim Mora has the coaching staff, players, and fans focused on not accepting anything less than a national championship #OPERATIONNATTY--a championship that would be our first since the Heisman trophy winning Gary Beban led Bruins in 1954. And if you are dead-set on accomplishing the games ultimate prize and capturing what UCLA football was able to in 1954, then why not implement the same Clarendon font used by the team that won the Bruins first and only football national championship to date? What was the only football uniform to sell-out at the UCLA student store and online retailers last season? None other than the universally beloved "L.A. Nights" uni's that happened to feature the sexy Clarendon font. Clarendon is UCLA football heritage and making the switch back should be a no-brainer, especially considering that Coach Jim Mora tweeted his love for the font championed by thousands of UCLA football fans.

I really thought this might just be me staring at a font guide in my room alone but seeing this much energy behind the Clarendon comeback is honestly surreal. It feels like the whole fanbase is finally tired of the generic block look and wants that classic 1954 heritage back on the field where it actually belongs.

I'm a Husky, but always thought the Clarendon looked cool - even when Bruins were beating us. :)

Clarendon, yes! Blame Pepper Rogers. He introduced the block numerals in 1971 after replacing Tommy Prothro.

And while at it give us numbers on shoulders (since the hoops have been reduced to nothing) or sleeves and get rid of the reflective names and numbers--the light just bounces right off of them making them difficult to read

the Clarendon numbers are indeed really distinctive, and they look sharp.

Thank you! Why not be distinctive and not like all the rest.
