The University of Hawaii football team is starting the new season with Hawaiian Airlines' Pualani logo on its jerseys, a small win for a program that spends more time in the air than almost any other.

• Hawaiian Airlines' Pualani patch now appears on UH football uniforms, the first deal of its kind between a school and an airline.
• In exchange, the airline will fly the team by charter to all six of its road games this season.
• Travel is the program's biggest burden, and reliable charters make it easier for players to arrive ready to play.
• The tie-up extends a relationship between the airline and the school that goes back more than three decades.

Outlook: The new uniforms debut Saturday when Hawaii faces Stanford.
