Sonoran Hot Reads: Arizona baseball reveals new uniforms

Some bigger letters

As the spring semester begins at The University of Arizona on Wednesday, that also means the spring sports get ramped up. Softball held their first practice on Monday, and baseball begins on Wednesday. Before the Cats take the field though, they announced that there will be some new threads on their backs this year. The lettering appears a little larger, but everything else is largely the same. Because why mess with a good thing?
