pooter Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 sweet...that is a neat ideaAgreed. Any word on which years any of the teams have selected? Kentucky's uniforms have been so traditional year after year, I am wondering if they will wear the early Pitino era Zubas shorts or the Converse faux denim unis.

rmackman Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I would bet Florida will either wear their 1994 Final Four or their 2000 Final Four jerseys. Either that or they'll reach back to when Mad Max (Vernon Maxwell) played for them. However he was such a bad apple Florida never acknowledged any of his career stats at the school after he was gone.

Call me crazy, but that is probably NOT what the conference had in mind.

cheo25 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 LSU will wear uniforms from the Pete Maravich era of 1968-70, according to the Baton Rouge newspaper. Not sure which of those two styles, though. One uni had purple letters on white uniform, other had yellow letters on white.http://www.dugout-memories.com/lsu2.jpghttp://media.lsureveille.com/vimages/share...534e3d-24-1.jpg (pardon the black and white) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranium Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Love this idea and the fact that they are controllling it as a conference and not letting each school choosing when to wear them. I'm betting that they stick with pre-1990 unis, otherwise it is not much of a throwback to wear something from 5-6 years ago. That would be more of a tossback.

jrh31584 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 My guess is that South Carolina will wear late '60s-early '70s-era uniforms, even though they were not in the SEC back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommytimp Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Maybe they'll wear the spider shorts form about 10 years ago...The horror, the horror.

Artmanc3po Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 As a UK fan, I'll just be glad to see them NOT wearing the silver trim they've been wearing in the Tubby era. Yes, their uniforms have been traditional and really good during Tubby's era, but they added silver trim, and that looks very Memphis State to me (back in the day). Kentucky needs to simply wear blue and white, period.On a similar note, I'm not exactly thrilled with UK's new threads for this season, with that goofball stripe across the shoulders in the front.
