Washington's 2023 football season is one of the best in program history, and it is a natural source of ideas for a custom Huskies jersey. The team went 14-1, went unbeaten in Pac-12 play, won the conference title and the Sugar Bowl, and played for the national championship. Each of those steps comes with a number you can put on your back.
