pcgd Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Bright colors are everywhere right now and that's what Adidas is keying on. Not Nike's yellow. If you'll notice Cincinnati and Louisville are using a super bright almost neon red. Its about bright colors. Adidas just does it somewhat close to the team's color palette instead of something way off.So neon yellow is close to Baylors color palette but not Oregons???No you're right...Not sure what I was thinking. The other facts remain, adidas is doing "bright" versions of team color. Nike took that yellow/green color and expanded it into lacrosse and other sports.

pcgd Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Not related to the neon discussion but does it bother anyone else that Baylor uses athletic gold for football and athletic gold for basketball? I wish they'd adopt old gold throughout...The Nike fitted teams wear old gold, while Adidas fitted teams wear athletic gold.Or it could be the individual team prefers athletic gold? (Kinda like UCLA) Its not like adidas doesn't have "old gold" as a color option...Here's a rundown of the sports that use team color a lot (I skipped golf and tennis):Baseball is UA: Athletic GoldSoftball is UA: Old GoldTrack/CC is Nike: Athletic GoldFootball is Nike: Old GoldWomen's Basketball is Nike: Old GoldMen's Basketball is adidas: Athletic GoldWomen's Soccer is UA: Athletic GoldVolleyball is Nike: Athletic GoldSo basically...they are a cluster when it comes to colors.

gdu Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 from Paul Lukas: "The worst part, though, is how these ?designs? come off like low-grade Nike knock-offs, from the trend-hopping (gray, Day-Glo, how original!) to the execution. It?s like a pimply-faced freshman trying to dress up like a slick upperclassman and making a fool of himself in the process. Say this much for the Swooshkateers: Their designs may suck and their marketing approach may be loathsome, but at least they maintain a veneer of professionalism. Adidas feels like amateur hour by comparison." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 These uniforms look like a guy on the beach in the '90s with a too-tight tanktop and Zubaz shorts. I don't care who they copied or if it was inspired by "high fashion" (always a bad move if you've seen the "trends" they spit out), they look terrible. All 3 of them.And "postseason" uniforms? Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I guess I was thinking the uni below when I said "tanktop and zubaz," but I love that you swapped out the tanktop for a mesh cutoff. You've found the next big thing. Somebody alert Paris! I'll be anxiously awaiting the 2014-15 mesh tops that are 70 percent lighter than any basketball uniform ever worn.

It seems fitting.Yes, but Kentucky can't cast too many stone about this - they did wear that zubas-ish Apex uniform set back in 1993-1994.EDIT: While I am a UK fan (but not a rabid one) it took me forever to find any photos of the 1994 Apex uniforms - they seem to have been purged from a lot of photo databases. Here's the cover of a DVD for the "Mardi Gras Miracle" where UK came back from way down to beat LSU in Baton Rouge in Februay:15 minutes of video at this link:http://kentuckybasketballforum.com/site/posts/126/on-this-day-in-uk-history/UK followed that up with the Apex "Icicle" uniforms for the entire 1994-1995 season before settling in to a more conservative Converse set for the first half of 1995-1996 (before the "denim" set that they wore the second half of the season and won the NCAA tourney in).
