Cujo Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What is a UCLA thinking, tarnishing their legendary basketball uniforms in such a fashion? Coach Wooden must be spinning in his grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It's not Zubaz, it's "a limited-edition camouflage print designed to make an impact on the court". They are literally claiming that these jerseys will help the players blend into the surroundings on the court, making it harder for their opponents to see them. Funny, I don't think I can ever un-see these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexWilson Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 WHY? JUST WHY? These are hideous. If this was for the NBA, I'd cry. I seriously would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuordr Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 These are horrible on par with mid-90s Kentucky...Man, I was hoping I would never see these again!I find it funny that Louisville's womens uniforms look better than the mens, but either way they are still ugly.

Sport Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised if some of the teams flat out refused to wear these. It's rare that the board unanimously agrees on something. and the worst part is that UCLA is involved. They've had the same uniforms since forever and they're going to wear these (literal) monstrosities in postseason play. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Louisville, Cincinnati, Baylor, and Kansas aren't that bad.I have always believed that one is entitled to his/her own opinion, but you are really testing that belief. This is pretty unanimous. Usually when a clown suit comes out, we'll get at least a quarter of us liking it. I hope that this nearly unanimous reaction is indicative of how the general fan base will react and that if any of these teams reaches a regional final, they'll go back to their standard uniforms so as not to celebrate a huge moment (i.e., making the final four) in these ugly Adidas billboards. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Lights Out Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What is a UCLA thinking, tarnishing their legendary basketball uniforms in such a fashion? Coach Wooden must be spinning in his grave.You can thank Chianti Dan Guerrero, possibly the most incompetent AD in college athletics, for going to such great lengths in order to on UCLA's tradition.

perfesser Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The irony is that UCLA's basketball team is now closer to having actual UCLA stripes than the football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powersurge Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Crappy sublimated graphics and patterns are to sports uniform designs in the "Twenty-Tens" as Teal and Purple were to them in the "90's". FML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Bill Self rolled over and said they had to bite the bullet and wear them, and he's pretty unyielding to nonsense. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Kevin W. Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Dear NCAA: please put a stop to this nonsense. Put some rules in place that prohibit this garbage. You're already restricting teams' uniforms with the ridiculous Boise rule. Just do what needs to be done and smack Nike/Adidas/Under Armour down. Tell them enough is enough. It needs to happen.

Lee Noire Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Two thoughts immediately come to mind:1. Go, Go Power Rangers2. I still see the potential in a sleeved basketball jersey, just not with Adidas at the helm. I think Nike would do amazing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
