\n

This spring, the University of Central Florida\u2019s (UCF) football team will don QR codes instead of numbers on the back of their jerseys (via SportsLogos.net<\/em><\/a>). The team showed off their new garb on Twitter<\/a>, sporting large custom QR codes beneath their last names that you can scan to access players\u2019 biographies on UCF\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

In a video<\/a> posted by UCF coach Gus Malzahn (who also has a QR code stamped on his team polo shirt<\/a>), you can see how exactly the feature works. Judging by the video, it looks like UCF will display players\u2019 QR codes on its home stadium\u2019s jumbotron as well.<\/p>\n

Last year, the UCF Knights kept the numbers on the back of their jerseys but swapped their last names<\/a> for Twitter handles. It\u2019s probably best that the team kept their last names this time around, as I could see how it might be frustrating for fans to search for a player\u2019s Twitter handle \u2014 or jersey number \u2014 just to find out their full name (if it isn\u2019t already in their handle).<\/p>\n

You may not associate modern technology with a team named after a medieval soldier, but it\u2019s certainly a creative use of the QR code and a clever way to promote players. I\u2019m just not sure how well it will work when you\u2019re actually watching the game, though. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the stands, are you supposed to zoom in extremely far on your phone while attempting to track a QR code that\u2019s attached to a player sprinting across a field? And if you\u2019re watching a broadcast or replay, will you just have to wait for a close-up? Of course, it is enough to attract media attention, and maybe get potential recruits to move the school up their list.<\/p>\n

Update 3:45PM ET:<\/strong><\/em> Clarified this change is just for today\u2019s spring game.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
