DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 After making the SEC look ridiculous all season (until they thankfully switched to throwbacks), Nike is currently wreaking havoc on the tournament:From SI.com:Two teams having the same style of jersey makes this look more like a scrimmage than an actual game. What is the point, exactly, of those tails sticking out above the collar bone? And really, did OSU have to wear those silly Nike Elite jerseys? I'm pretty sure that's why they lost. That and Roy Hibbert. 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...
HurricaneDavid Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I think they look fine. G'town is constantly changing their uniforms, so it's not like this design disrupts one identity. I'm not sure about OSU, but I don't identify them with any one style either. When they start adding those shoulder stripes to Duke's classic uniforms, then I have a problem.

Redskins24 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I actually really like these jerseys. Georgetown's shorts aren't so great but they jersey itself looks pretty sharp in my opinion. Ohio State even better. The problem w/ Georgetown is that "G" logo on the right shoulder...its just too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tohasbo Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The Jordan Brand is the supplier of the Hoyas basketball uniforms, not Nike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Two teams having the same style of jersey makes this look more like a scrimmage than an actual game. Hate to say it derogatorily, but it looks like a CFL game. That was Reebok, this is Nike.The big two are slowly destroying sports branding.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 The Jordan Brand is the supplier of the Hoyas basketball uniforms, not Nike. Well, that's a technicality, isn't it? I mean, that's like saying that Jeep, not Chrysler, sponsors the Mets. Really, they're the same company. 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...
FUNKAFIED Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 G'Town looks like they're wearing shooting shirts during the game in that picture. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 When they start adding those shoulder stripes to Duke's classic uniforms, then I have a problem. Duke already tried it. About a decade ago, before the introduction of black into their mix. Big blue blotches on the shoulders (white on the road blues). It looked awful.If any team could wear the Elite silver shoulders, it'd be Ohio State, since silver (gray correctly, but OSU tends to blur that line when convenient) is part of their color scheme. It looks awful when it's forced, like with Illinois.Tangential question: when did silver become the color of elitism? When did we forsake the gold and "go for the silver"? Just a thought... "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...

Maybe it's platinum Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Jeff Capel was wearing that jersey when he made his half-court shot in the epic 1994 2OT loss to UNC. At the time, I thought the only jerseys with the lame shoulder stripes were women's models.I think silver became more elite when platinum became elite. For a while, Gold credit cards were the "best." Then they introduced "platinum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logodawg Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Doesn't bother me, I could care less about either team. I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Honestly, I thought West Virginia looked worse than OSU and Gerogetown... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitllam Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I'm pretty sure that's why they lost. Well, they wore them all season and won the Big Ten regular season Championship, so they must not have had too much bad karma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The heck with the brand names. I've always hated it when players wear T-shirts (or at least T-shirts that show) underneath basketball jerseys.For that reason alone, I always had a thing against Patrick Ewing, because he always wore that T-shirt underneath his Georgetown uniform. I always thought it looked bush league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
