bulldogbarks55 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 They look like they're wearing skirts.Well said, my man. I've been saying that they look like the culottes that girls wore in school in the 1960s.DYK- Back in the day you could order basketball shorts with quilted hip pads sewn in. So this isn't a new concept. Nike is just recycling an idea from 60 years ago. Way to be an innovator you Swooshgeeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiasco! Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 What bothers the hell out of me is that the Gonzaga jersey says "Go Zags". Why are they referred to as the Zags when their mascot is the Bulldog? I know why, but it still bothers me that they're weakening their "Bulldog" brand by being referred to as the "Zags", which sounds stupid anyway.

Drew22 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 At the ACC tournament, they were handing out shirts that said "The Tar Heels are battleproof" and other various Nike ACC schools. They also had badges that say "We are battleproof." I got a badge, but they were out of UNC shirts. http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikebasketbal...s/nikeprocombatApparently something is happening with this in three days.

Zags is more like a team name, if it just said Zag I'd understand what you're saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coheed Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Zags is just a nickname. It has nothing to do with the mascot of the school, and I have no problem with it.When I was in high school, our mascot was the Northmen (more or less a lumberjack), but the student body was given the nickname of Oakies, because the school name is Oak Park. It's basically the same concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically the same concept.Same with the Quips, from Aliquippa High School in Aliquippa, PA.(Actually...to be technical, it's "Fighting Quips"--but...point still holds.)Hell, college sports teams are full of nicknames that many if not most either don't get or can't understand. Don't see how "Zags" could or would be any different.Good luck coming up with a logo for that, though. (Hypothetically speaking.)(I can already see someone drawing out a zigzag and posting it as a "logo"...) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin20 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Why, oh why, are the shirts so tight, yet the pants are skirts. It just looks weird, like they forgot to put on their jerseys and just went out in under armour or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Nike's SOD website (I believe it's "systemofdress.com") explains this look, for all those that are curious about it. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
