This is likely to end up like this template did:

Isn't this ridiculous? I'm sure I've missed some as well.

I really hate adidas. They lack creativity and they have huge schools signed yet they fail to do amazing things with those brands.

While I don't like that, it was a one-off thing by Nike. adidas fits huge brand name schools in the same template for regular daily use.

Cincy's new postseason uniforms (I believe they'll also be the unis for all of next season).

Bearcats to Sport Exclusive adidas Uniforms in Postseason

March 6, 2012

CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati men’s basketball team has been selected by adidas as one of three programs in the nation to wear the new, ultra-lightweight adizero basketball uniforms throughout its postseason run in the BIG EAST Championship and NCAA tournament, the footwear and apparel company announced jointly with UC today.

Cincinnati will wear the new uniforms beginning at the BIG EAST Championship, March 6-10 at Madison Square Garden. Other schools showcasing the uniforms are Louisville, a fellow BIG EAST Conference member, and 12th-ranked Baylor, a member of the Big 12 Conference.

The new Bearcats’ uniforms feature a limited edition design and coloring created only for this year’s postseason run. The uniforms feature a new print using a pixilated pattern instead of a traditional, heavier, solid pattern to shed weight and add speed. The print’s design is inspired by teamwork and working together to attack the court as a group. The amplified school colors pay homage to the high intensity of March Madness and the electrifying play during the NCAA Tournament.

“We are excited to be a part of an elite number of schools that adidas chose to promote on a national stage during March Madness,” UC Director of Athletics Whit Babcock said. “While the unique uniform color scheme is temporary for the Bearcats, it certainly will draw attention and a younger demographic to our C-Paw logo and our energetic brand of basketball. The technology and new lightweight design of the uniforms is very impressive as well.”

“It’s a compliment to the growth of our program that Cincinnati gets to take part in this unveiling,” UC head coach Mick Cronin said. “The postseason uniforms are something the players are really going to enjoy.”

The adizero basketball uniform is 40 percent lighter than the Bearcats’ previous uniform, enhancing performance. It uses an unlined short to eliminate unnecessary weight and provide a more comfortable, closer fit with compression base layers. The short’s four-way stretch woven materials work with the body’s natural movement to increase mobility. Building on adidas Revolution 30 uniform technology used in the NBA, adidas uniforms feature a ClimaCool Zone which moves heat and sweat away from the body for optimal moisture wicking and breathability.

Players also will wear the new adidas Team Crew basketball sock which uses compression throughout the entire sock for added stability and CLIMALITE moisture wicking technology to reduce weight added by sweating.

“It’s a smart idea to get the chance to play wearing a lighter jersey and it will bring a new look the Bearcats,” UC sophomore guard Sean Kilpatrick said. “It gives us more recognition and shows that our hard work throughout the year is paying off. To be one of only three schools in the nation to wear these uniforms is unbelievable.”

Since 2006, adidas has been the official outfitter for UC Athletics.

Earlier this season adidas outfitted five college basketball teams with a line of Hawaiian-inspired basketball footwear and apparel for the championship round of the Maui Invitational. Participating teams were host school Chaminade along with Kansas, Michigan, Tennessee and UCLA.

Is the absence of player numbers supposed to foster team unity?

Are these using the same side stripe as their regular template? Adidas is so boring, they just recolor unis ( and throw tiger stripes on the entire canvas of the shorts) These are awful and Adidas is floundering in mediocrity.

Bearcats to Sport Exclusive adidas Uniforms in Postseason

So exclusive, in fact, that only two other teams will be wearing the exact same template! Well, maybe more will get unveiled in the next few days and practically every adidas-contracted team will wear them next November, but for now, it's all ours (and those two other schools')! Exclusive!

[illini1]

I really hate adidas. They lack creativity

I know, right?

Nike is way better than Adidas. It's not even close to the same thing. Nike used the same color on all of the uniform, but each uniform had its own unique design.

[shaydre1019]

I wonder where they drew inspiration for the colors........

Another look at the home jerseys:

looks like it may be a different material and tighter jersey fit but isn't the striping the same as michigan's adidas template?

Damn, can adidas ever do anything original.

Nike did this years ago:

[Kevin W.]

Wait, this means Adidas is getting rid of the necklace? Hallelujah! I always hated that.

[floydnimrod]

Very disappointed with UC's new uniforms. If the homes really are gray that's terrible. And then they have a tiger striping pattern on the shorts.

[mbannon92]

"Players also will wear the new adidas Team Crew basketball sock which uses compression throughout the entire sock for added stability and CLIMALITE moisture wicking technology to reduce weight added by sweating."

Yeah, that will totally get Cincy to the Final Four.

[Kevin W.]

Yeah, that will totally get Cincy to the Final Four.

Are you surprised? It's the same advertising mumbo-jumbo that Nike and Under Armour use. Anything to make their product more appealing to the consumers.

[DC in Da House w/o a Doubt]

I like what Adidas has been doing with their basketball shoes lately. The 3 stripes wrapping around the back looks pretty good. And it's actually original, and manages to use the 3 stripes in a unique way.

[Raysfan12]

Louisville should've went to a throwback jersey that honors their past.

+1. I feel like one place where Adidas does decently well is their shoes.
