bdon the jayhawk Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I'm so happy Kansas switched to Adidas. Though Bill Self didn't put up with Nike last year with the gray warm-ups, I doubt he would have put up with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Illinois looks brutal with the silver shoulders. I didn't entirely mind them on Ohio State, since it's a color in their usual scheme. I can't believe I am going to say this, but they didn't totally suck on the UNC jerseys (the new ram is gray... but still, don't screw with Carolina's look, just don't - and I am not asking, I'm telling!). But they looked forced and out of place on the Illini (Michigan too). "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointguard4519 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 at least nike is only forcing one color into illinois scheme...unlike what they're doing to duke...first black..now silver...i would ask what next, but i'm pretty sure i'd be in the majority in saying nobody wants to know! We are one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 somehow I forgot that the Illinois/UNC game was tonight, but from the small images I've seen...No thanks. However, please redesign our navy jerseys or just drop the black. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 You're wrong POINTGUARD. If you look closely at Illinois' blue uniforms you'll notice that Nike has a black stripe on the sides of the uniforms. It's easy to miss since the uniforms are navy blue but it's there. These are the only uniforms in any sport for Illinois that I have ever seen black. It's not one of their colors. Illinois fans have complained about this ever since they came out with these jerseys. The jerseys would look much better with an orange stripe and white outlining. Other than this uniform I usally don't have much of a problem with Nike's uniforms. I must admit though that I am a very loyal Nike consumer, so my judgement may be biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomainMaster Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 On top of it all, they just HAD to use that crap shiny material for the gray parts making it look like they stiched a piece of garbage bag onto every jersey. Plus, to me, they all look a bit too much like Women's uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdukie Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Those Kansas uniforms were one of the best designed uniforms in college basketball. Its a shame that they stopped using those after the 2002-2003 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tohasbo Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 After looking at pictures from the other games for the ACC/BIG TEN Challenge, Florida St., Clemson, Purdue, Wisconsin, Wake Forest, Ohio St., Penn St., and Miami did not wear any kind of uniform like the ones shown.

VitaminD Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 After looking at pictures from the other games for the ACC/BIG TEN Challenge, Florida St., Clemson, Purdue, Wisconsin, Wake Forest, Ohio St., Penn St., and Miami did not wear any kind of uniform like the ones shown. Ohio State did wear them; they're less noticeable since it didn't alter their color scheme by adding gray/silver. Wisconsin isn't a Nike school, so they're off this list also. Miami was wearing their alternate jerseys - they just happened to be black.I'm not 100% sure, but the schools that were colored on the shoulders were Nike Elite schools. I'm not sure of the requirements for becoming Elite - I think it involves reaching a Final Four since becoming a Nike school - but programs like FSU, Clemson, Purdue, Penn State and Miami aren't at an elite level in college basketball.

desolateSentinal Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 michigan's colors are maize and blue...there's no silver. never has been. where did the silver come from? what is nike doing to the images of teams? doesn't anyone care? aren't the fans revolting? why isn't nike's 'creative team' in hiding or fired? somebody make it STOP!

DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I switched over from the Biggest Loser finale last night to check scores on the ACC/Big Ten games. My girlfriend saw the UNC/Illinois and said to me, "Wow...those are the ugliest jerseys I've ever seen. Please change it back." So there you go, Nike. People would rather watch big fat people exercise than look at your stupid jerseys. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterE Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Michigan hasn't been to a Final Four since they switched to Nike have they? Were they Nike back in the early 90's in the Fab Five days? Get Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desolateSentinal Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 They wore nike shoes back then so i guess they had a contract with nike, but that's way before it became mandatory to put the nike logo on the pants and jerseys so that's all i really have to go on.

STL FANATIC Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I think the reason the Illini's navy looks so dark is because the whole jersey was the shiny material.Anyways, I really hate the black that is in the navy and really wish it was gone. This silver sucks too, but I figured it's just for the special occasion. I hoped and thought that, but this worries me...http://www.dailyillini.com/media/paper736/...t-1114882.shtmlBACK IN BLUEIllinois will wear blue in Tuesday's game. The special uniforms, which were designed by Nike, will make appearances later in the season, as Illinois works blue and white back into its uniform color palette.Though orange has been my favorite color for a while and I was glad to see the Illini move towards orange, I have no problem with them trying to get some blue back in their scheme.However, the blue jerseys are awful with the black, and I don't wanna have to see this "Elite" jersey again...argh...I love the Illini's white and orange jerseys, but now I have to hope for a complete overhaul for next year so that black is gone. Of course, I fear a complete overhaul might mean more black and silver, and if that's the case I might just drive up to Oregon (that's where Nike's based, right?), and tell them how much they suck. (No, I'm not an all out Nike hater, but there's things they need to learn to stop doing/proposing to schools).

TheStoicPaisano Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Pinto from Animal Hou...err...Paulus and Redick managed to make the jerseys look even worse by wearing black sleeveless Nike Pro shirts underneath the jerseys. So you have three different stripes on the shoulders, plus the stitching on the undershirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swilson160 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 The Duke ones are the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. Worse than a Carrot Top movie, worse than Rosie O'Donnell in stretch pants, worse than midget amputee porn. Worst thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
