jdukie Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I pray to God that these are just fashion jerseys, but these were listed on dukeupdate.com as Duke's new "alternate uniforms". I not sure what that means, do these replace the old black and blue jerseys or does Duke have 5 uniforms now. It doesn't matter, I hate the shoulder stripes on all of the teams that have them. If Duke wanted to make a change they should have gotten rid of the black trim on the home whites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcan'tseeme Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 those aren't that bad, I really like them, as long as there an alternate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsrowe Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 The main problem with those is that they're the same template that Nike uses for almost every SEC school and when the ACC/Big Ten did their thing they used those uniforms too, I believe. I think it's ******* retarded that they would take all these schools, some with great basketball legacy (As a UK fan, I am specifically addressing them putting out a generic crap jersey), and giving them all the same template, an obvious one at that, adding different side-piping, to wear.

cheo25 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Watching some Nike schools play college football and basketball reminds me of the movie Teen Wolf where every school had the same adidas design with the stripes down the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecticbro Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Looks fine to me, and not too different from what they've worn recently either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetthemets Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Besides the tiny stripe at the top, are they really that much different than the current black jerseys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Boy Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Besides the tiny stripe at the top, are they really that much different than the current black jerseys? That is true that it's just as ugly as the current black jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdon the jayhawk Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 As a Kansas fan, I can't help but laugh at all these Nike schools that look the same. When Kansas was with Nike, we never had one of these template jerseys, simply because we refused and Nike listened. Blame the schools, not nike...

Shumway Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Isn't that the same template as the team USA jerseys?These aren't bad, but I don't see a need for them to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilgump Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 same shoulder stripe like the team USA jerseys and every other new nike effort (FLA, Kent. ect) But from the looks the side stripe will be the same as the old uni's, its not the USA striping in the other aspects. The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.

14er Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Why does everyone say these are all the same templates? The only thing the same is the shoulder stripe. All the piping and panneling is defferent on all the Nike schools. This is still the same Duke design plus shoulder stripes, not the same template as another school.

Because it's the school's uniform...not Nikes. Nike is trying to make sure everyone knows who made their jerseys which is almost a form of branding. It's an indirect logo creep and it's not needed.

I think this is Nike's way of combatting the Adidas 3-stripe motif. There was the big deal at Wimbledon about how the three stripes weren't considered a logo, even though everyone knows it's Adidas, which gave them an extra "advertisement" on players' clothing. Nike wants people to look at an asymmetrical or over-piped football jersey and think "Nike". They want people to see a corny, shoulder-striped basketball jersey on TV, and think about how Duke and the USA team use Nike, without ever having to look for a swoosh on a jersey. Maybe then they'll go buy some Nike crap because all the 'elite' schools have it on. Put Your Hands up For Detroit (our lovely city) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
