CubsFanBudMan Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 The Chicago Tribune took a page from ESPN and had a uniform battle for the NCAA's Sweet 16. Local art students voted, and Oklahoma State beat Duke in the final. There's a version on the Web that lets others vote:http://www.chicagotribune.com/sweet16The graphic, which is similar to the newspaper's layout, can be found at the right of that page, or this address might work directly:http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/lif...4868280.graphic(apologies if this has been posted already... did a search for Tribune and nothing came up. the story ran March 25) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that, too.I'm going to try to post the graphic here... we'll see what happens (it's going to be big... but it should be legible): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 OK, I can see it, but I'm not sure if it's only because I'm still logged in. Probably wasn't worth all this trouble, but I thought it was kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazberg Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I guess iu can kinda see this, though I think Kansas and Georgia Tech are both nice and shoulda gotten farther. One thing I've noticed a lot this year are how many teams totally rip others off, like Alabama stealing Stanford's uniforms (then ironically going on to beat them) and Maryland's number font, or Illinois ripping off Syracuse, which seams more apparent now that they've gone to the Orange unis full time. Teams should be more original. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Nike only has fifteen different templates, Chaz. That's why they're all the same. It's even worse on the women's side. Anywho, here's my bracket...Sweet 16-Kansas over UAB Nevada over GTWake Forest over St. Joe's Pitt over OK St.Duke over Illinois Texas over Xavier Bama over CuseUConn over VandyElite 8-Nevada over KansasPitt over Wake ForestTexas over DukeUConn over BamaFinal Four-Nevada over PittTexas over UConnChampionship Game...Nevada over TexasTexas nearly took the crown with the style of striping on the shorts, but you know they'll never win a championship that the casual sports fan cares about (yes, I did remember baseball) . Nevada won with their un-Nike unis, awesome color combonation (navy and white), and simplicity (which I think is key to a basketball uni, especially a college uni).

CubsFanBudMan Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 I voted for Nevada on the website. Not sure that they're my favorites, but I knew they wouldn't get many votes. Turns out it didn't matter:Which uniform do you like best? 1.0%Alabama (48 responses) 2.7%Connecticut (123 responses) 5.8%Duke (270 responses) 1.1%Georgia Tech (52 responses) 53.4%Illinois (2467 responses) 4.6%Kansas (214 responses) 4.1%Nevada (188 responses) 5.3%Oklahoma State (244 responses) 0.9%Pittsburgh (41 responses) 1.3%St. Joe's (60 responses) 7.2%Syracuse (332 responses) 1.8%Texas (83 responses) 4.4%UAB (205 responses) 1.7%Vanderbilt (79 responses) 1.0%Wake Forest (45 responses) 3.6%Xavier (168 responses) 4619 total responses(Poll results not scientific)So much for being objective... Illinois fans ran away with this one. Love the "poll results not scientific" note -- no kidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
