bucknut40 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Wright State had there Blackout game tonight. Unfortunately there was some miscommunication with UIC and they wore red. It was difficult to tell teams apart at timesBut... Wright State's colors are green and yellow. Even if they wore black, it shouldn't have clashed if UIC wore red. It was a you had to be watching it live to see it. This picture doesn't do it justice, but from the front row there were times when I couldn't tell #RaiderUpTwitter-@R_Redinger4 My Blog-Southwest Ohio Football NCFAF-Wheeling Coal Miners,NCFAF-FCS Lake Erie Shoremen, NCFAB-Wheeling Coal Miners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDmo Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 If you couldn't tell the difference you need to get your eyes checked. You may be color blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goforbroke Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 http://www.sbnation....-twitter-handleAkron to have Twitter handle on back of jersey. This will be the first of MANY teams to do this. Quote me . January 28th 2013 at 4:13 PM ET And btw its the hockey-style / spurs-grey-alt 1 giant logo type jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Photos have been floating around twitter for a while, but they won't be wearing the twitter handle on the jersey for the game. I highly doubt the NCAA would allow that, especially since they denied Iowa's request for tribute NOBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Seriously KU? Been going downhill since the switch from Nike. I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Looks like Kansas is going to be wearing the adidas monotones tonight.Oh those look amaizing.Seriously? The blues don't match, not enough contrast, the school name has a red outline while the logo has a white outline and you think they look amazing?The blues don't match because the material on the numbers is different, just like the NBA Christmas Day jerseys. In most lights, it matches. In some, it doesn't. Every color-on-color jersey has had this issue, even black ones.Those are going to be impossible to read during gameday. How have they not figured that out yet? Or do they just not care.I thought the NCAA made Purdue change the letters and numbers on their black uniforms a few years ago because they were too hard to read? The letters and numbers were black outlined in gold. Why is the NCAA allowing all these Adidas schools to wear these uniforms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKAK Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 You know it's not good when the only thing you can see on the jersey is the Adidas logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Maybe the NCAA doesn't mind as much if it's just a one off jersey?And if KU was still with Nike, they'd be wearing a plain blue jersey with the jayhawk on the front instead of these.

PhilliesPhan1325 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Just saw on ESPN Unite, that the NCAA shot down Akron's attempt. So there's our big answer.Edit: Oops look above. "The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! STRUCK HIM OUT! THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ARE 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL!" J M yoU wish you had a Duke Dog!

vmd9 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Honesty I think the jerseys have gotten more attention now, than they would have gotten by being worn in a game. Honesty think its a win-win for Iowa, Akron, and any other school that attempts something like this. Either you get your wish and can wear the names, or you get denied by the NCAA and gain some press... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uuh70 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 UCLA will be going monotone Wednesday vs USCI actually like UCLA's monotone. It will be a good looking game as long as SC doesn't go bfbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuordr Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Adidas needs to quit making basketball uniforms as they all SUCK, especially the monochromes. \Kansas was the latest victim of Adidas. and Tennessee seem to be the worst teams thus far.

joechicago Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The UCLA ones at least look nicer than the Kansas ones. Re: UIC/Wright State - it's not an issue of whether your central vision can tell in a still photo. The issue is whether your peripheral vision can tell in live action. Imagine being a guard on a breakaway and having one guy in front of you who comes up to meet you. There's a blur streaking in from your side. Is it your guy or their guy? If the red have giant black panels down the side, I could see it being confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a need to point that out as one of maybe 6 people here who give a toss about the Horizon League.Either way, only ONE Horizon League school officially uses black... if you're in the HL and you're not Milwaukee, don't wear it.
