Were you wondering about the weird sweaty square under the numbers on so many of the UW players this season? There is a great blurb on the Uni Watch Blog explaining why it happens…

[The jerseys] are made by Nike, and have unusual tailoring patterns that mix and match different fabrics, some of which absorb moisture differently than others. (You can see the different fabric on the UW jersey here.) So when a player sweats, some of the fabric zones end up looking darker. Let’s call this phenomenon the sweatbox.

So there you go.
