SALT LAKE CITY – As the Utah football team gets closer to playing in the Rose Bowl on January 1, the gifts begin to roll in for the players.

The Utah football equipment staff designed a very nice hoodie that has the interlocking U with a rose laying across the bottom of the two U’s.

Utah defensive tackle Devin Kaufusi showed off the new hoodie to ESPN’s Holly Rowe, who will be on the call for the Rose Bowl along with Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler.

Local media had the opportunity on Tuesday to speak to the players after practice. The players received the hoodies after practice and was already wearing them as they were leaving the facility.

Bad news for Utah fans is that this is a player exclusive item and will not be available to purchase.

However, Utah has made other Rose Bowl themed merchandise available for fans to purchase through the Utah Red Zone stores.
