Telemundo219 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 UConn, Please go back to the Ben Gordon/Richard Hamilton era unis. These current unis look a little College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Is it just me or are there some type of circles on the shorts... specifically look at the bottom of the player in the back's shorts.

mantleisthebest7 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Is it just me or are there some type of circles on the shorts... specifically look at the bottom of the player in the back's shorts.Those are compression shorts with pads that the players wear under thier shorts. I wear them sometimes when I play football, but alot of players, for whatever reason, wear them in basketball. Don't worry those arent part of the uniform design hehe.

koizim Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 At first I thought they were white jerseys, and I thought to myself, "Damn! These cats sweat a lot!" They look terrible. Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, crispy and clean, You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene. We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

powersurge Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 i actually triedto make a concept in that sort of way.I think you are on the right track.They need to get rid of the ridiculous red trim and go with the Navy and White with hints of grey. Many of the other school's sports teams have made the transition AWAY from the red accent, including the high profile football team. Not sure why the hell the basketball teams insist on keeping the red. Much of the university's official paperwork and many of their promotional items haved moved away from the red. Hopefully that might be an indication of whats to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartfordwhalers2k8 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Well, they have worn them in pretty much every game in this hot streak, including today against G-Tech. They can keep them since we are finally ranked again. They actually have grown on me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamikel Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Traditionally, what are UConn's colors? Navy and red, navy and gray, or navy, red, and gray? Any one of those three combinations could work well, if they'd just be consistent across all sports, but right now, they do a terrible job of balancing the three.

theLOFTstudio Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 UConn official colors are national flag blue (Pantone 281) and white. Some UConn athletic teams have red trim (basketball). Some have grey trim (football). The Print colors for the university, and their official logos use the blue listed before and Pantone Cool Gray 9. I'm a bit of a homer, but I think their seal and updated logo set are pretty classic.And I would love to see all their athletic teams go to white, blue, and gray sets. get rid of the red.

Jamikel Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 In that case, I agree. Blue with gray trim is definitely the way to go. But not gray with blue trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football program was originally supposed to usher the change to navy, white and grey. For some odd reason, the basketball teams haven't followed suit, but most of the schools other teams have. Funny story about the school logo....it came out roughly around '98 or '99. UConn was going through the whole 'UConn 2000' project to moderinze the school's building, infrastructure and overall look. I was a senior and part of the design department when it came out. Needless to say, the initial reactions were not positive. The unanimous reaction to the new logo was that it: 1. looked too phallic. (the acorns seemed suspiciously placed)2. looked bland keep in mind the old school logo was the state seal. Pretty unimaginative if you ask me. This logo has grown on me alot since then. I still can't look at it without seeing two white arms with claws at the end of them trying to cut off two acorns. Maybe its just me I guess.
