That is Chuck Daly on the Penn bench.
So this is the 1977 team, not the 1978 team.

Correct. And between Tony Price and Bobby Willis, you can see Mark Lonetto on the Penn bench.

Good catch----I missed seeing Daly. I was going on my memory of Tim Smith being chunkier annd losing a ton of weight after his sophomore year.

Great Court Photo of the '78 Team

To me, the classic "Pennsylvania" across the front is the Brand of the team....was that way for 100+ years. The 'Fight On Penn' branding not only doesn't fit the tune, but it doesn't look right on the uniform.

Agreed.
Didn't they also change the shade of red? Used to be more of a dark red. Now it's this garish bright red thing. Hate it.

They did try and bring back a retro maroon jersey last year. But yes, I will never buy a bright red Penn item

And at the far right of that picture is referee Steve Honzo, who was almost a quaker.

Absolutely. I agree wholeheartedly.
Also, IIRC, the retro maroon jerseys were worn during the 2018-19 season, as a tribute to the '79 team. And of course, we immediately lost to Princeton while wearing them. I believe the jerseys may have been incinerated after that loss.
