keynote Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I don't like the fact that these alts step on Georgetown's (fairly) unique tradition of wearing gray at home. It's as if teams took their cue from '80s MLB and designed Carolina blue road alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver2david Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It's not really that new. Some Nike basketball schools were wearing gray/silver alts at home back in the early 2000s. Plus a bunch of the Nike Elite schools wore jerseys with gray/silver shoulders around then, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Along with Georgetown, Ohio State and Texas have worn gray in their history so I wouldn't refer to those two, at least, as fads. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk36 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hate grey basketball unis too. That being said a friend and I were watching the UW/WSU game on Sunday commenting on how horrible the WSU greys looked when his 13 year old son came in and thought the grey unis were the coolest thing ever. Guess I'm just too old to "get" it. To me it just looks like the grey undershirts we used to wear for practices. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evanmaldonado Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'd give it a pass for teams that have used grey traditionally, but I just don't see the point of it. At least some bad reason was given when a black uniform was introduced (sleeker look, player demand, etc.). What reason is there for a bunch of grey jerseys?

DCDuck Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 What reason is there for a bunch of grey jerseys?Some schools don't have a color scheme that lends itself to an alternate jersey that matches the school's official colors.In VCU's case, Shaka Smart finally bought into the idea that our old gold jerseys were "cursed" and decided to switch to grey. (For what it's worth, VCU has worn grey alts before, just not recently.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I said it in the NCAA Basketball Uniform thread, but it's worth repeating......This rumor about a grey Syracuse jersey better be false. Especially if we're wearing them against our two top rivals, Georgetown and UConn, who happen to wear... grey. Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Man, I hate grey facemasks too... er, wait.As far as Syracuse wearing grey, I think that'd make more sense than some schools who started doing so this year. Hasn't Syracuse had grey as part of their color scheme for the past several years? I do agree though that wearing grey against Georgetown or UConn wouldn't aesthetically make sense.(And for the record, I actually prefer grey facemasks to any other color.)

DustDevil61 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 A little off-topic, but it appears that the trend has hit my High School's basketball team...To be fair, it's a considerably darker (and more unique) gray than what I'm finding in Google Image Search and is being used as a road jersey only. It also helps that Kanab HS (UT) has worn some form of gray/silver,* on-off, for the last 20 or so years, despite not being an official school color.** It certainly stands out more in Utah prep sports (as far as I know), whose go-to non-school color still seems to be black more than anything else. I also think that red/white/dark gray look pretty good together. I'm surprised that many upper NCAA schools haven't used this darker gray more, if at all.*With equipment and fabric differences and funding, the two have largely been interchangeable, though it's been more of a light gray to better match the silver.**Red and white are.I think that if more schools can use this darker shade of gray and not the light/silverish gray that looks like a white jersey has been thrown into the washer with dark clothes, then it would be far more tolerable and could compliment different color schemes well (read: look better), such as that of Ohio State. http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
