illwauk Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Ugh. Black on black numbers. Too hard to read and lacks pop.I think black and yellow is enough of a contrast to make it work. It'll depend on how thick they make the yellow outlines though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSt_Bully Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 So this leaves Penn State as the only Nike school in the Big Ten that has yet to have SoD uniforms. Any word on if we're changing too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwboiler Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Purdue's new unis in action...well kinda... Press Conference Photos...(still no pictures of the back unfortunately. I'm interested in seeing the striping on the back, especially with the train reference below)From the press article-The patterning of the jersey features roughly a 25% reduction in weight, eliminating excess materials in the body of the jersey, allowing the player to move more efficiently through traffic on the court. The Purdue design features an iconic neck-line, combined with design lines inspired by the history of the Boilermaker Train. Purdue will wear three colors, a traditional white/black/gold uniform, an alternate gold uniform, and a unique, bold black "road warrior" type uniform that they will wear when they do battle on the road. The gold uniform will not be introduced until the 2009-2010 season. Chris Kramer (#3) on them helping performance - "When it comes down to it, those uniforms aren't going to make us play any better or any worse," Kramer said. "It's on us. If we had to play this game [against #5 Mich St] in our old ones, nothing would have changed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadillo Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Think Kramer's been taken out back and sacrificed to Nike for those blasphemous comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayor_WestDG Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Iowa and Purdue are supposed to debut new SOD basketball uniforms this Saturday night in Iowa City. Has anyone seen these yet? I think it was brought up here a while ago and it is discussed on the Iowa basketball forum, but no pics. Ball State has these as their home unis.

CubsFanBudMan Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Since Iowa and Purdue are playing this week, I thought maybe this thread had news. Nope, from 2009. Interesting to note that the black on black didn't last long at Iowa. I think they essentially wear the same uni, but with gold outlined in white numbers.The Hawkeyes jersey apparently didn't fly either (no pun intended). The gold says Iowa again. Not sure when they switched away, but it might have only lasted one season. Could have been the coaching change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
