When UMass introduced the 90s throwback uniforms this year, I noticed there were several things "off" about them. For me, the most obvious issue was the positioning of the "U" relative to the "Mass". This eventually led me down a rabbit hole of trying to create vector versions of all of the various Calipari era uniforms. It seems that the current official throwback logo is based on a variation that is quite different than any of the jerseys that Lou Roe or Marcus Camby wore.
I'm wondering if anyone can provide pics or scans of an actual game-worn or official jersey from any of the 91-96 years. All of my "re-creation" efforts have been based on archival photos and media guide scans, which is less than ideal.
For reference:
Here are the basic designs of all of the jerseys from 92-96

My personal favorite, the 93-94 logo. I like the simplicity of no black outline but with the curved "m". I'd love for that logo and number pattern to be on a plain white jersey.

I'll look through some older UMass stuff in my basement, but for now, I can refer you to the Helmet Project which keeps up with subtle changes in football helmets over the years. UMass shows several minor changes, but I don't know if those changes cross over to hoops uniforms.
