cajunaggie08 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 What's up with these Gonzaga BFBS uniforms? I want to dislike them but I sorta love them. If you gave this design to a team whose usual colors were black and white with blue and red accents (ok, maybe that doesn't exist), I'd approve.I love that wordmarkThe Blue Jays called, they want they script back...It's actually the exact same split-letter font as the late-90s Stanford basketball unis.I believe Villanova used a script like that in the late '90s as well.This is really close to the script Villanova uses in their current logo. On these jerseys, UniWatch linked to an article today about how the students want them burned because they're "Cursed". Can't blame them, thats what they get for BFBS I suppose.Not being able to accomplish something your school's never done (advance past the Elite Eight) because you lost to a #1 seed Duke makes a uniform cursed? I think Gonzaga students are letting their cupcake schedule results get to their headAre SMU, St. John's, Arizona, and UCLA cupcakes? Zags even played Georgia, who happened to make the tournament too.#84 strength of schedule. not bad but not great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Everyone knows true strength of schedule is based on out-of-conference opponents. Just because the WCC sucked isn't Gonzaga's fault. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I don't care one way or the other about that font...but I HATE that it says "ZAGS". We call 'em "Zags" for shorthand, and that's fine, but "Zags" on the jersey is awful. It should say "Gonzaga" or "Bulldogs" and that's about it. 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."

Now that I think abut it, maybe it was just the number font that looked the same as Gonzagas script. This was late 90s when they still used maroon as a trim color. I remember I had a Nike Jason Lawson navy replica jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 This is the only time Villanova used a split-letter or split-number font. It's rounded, far different than the Machine font the Zags use.

JasonFromMiami Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Adidas takes alot of :censored:, but Nike sure did screw with Kentucky and Duke´s uniforms, reduced them to all white pyjamas, no color at all, hate the front wordmark with only a blue outline, why the heck could they not just have played in their regular nice unis ?

mstein Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Duke has only worn its regular home uniforms once since the end of December (against Pitt in January) otherwise, it was the fauxbacks at home and neutral site games. Duke got hasn't worn its regular blue uniforms since the game at Notre Dame in late January, then it wore black at Virginia and got the new road fauxbacks which they have worn since (except black at Va. Tech). Duke wore Distruption jerseys in the one-off game against Syracuse and then went back to them for the ACC Quarters when they dominated State. Duke lost in the fauxbacks the next night vs. Notre Dame. Senior Captain Quinn Cook gets to pick the uniforms. Duke went back to Disruption for NCAAs because they have clearly become superstitious and haven't lost in the them (Cook loves the fauxbacks as evidenced by earlier in the season). There is a blue Disruption jersey ready should Duke and Kentucky advance to Monday Night.That is the long way of saying if Duke weren't superstitious, you wouldn't see so much of this jersey.

JasonFromMiami Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks for the explanation....so a random player like Cook get to choose , eh ? Amazing, he went 2 for 10 in the gonzaga game, and looked like the worst player in the history of basketball, great to know he gets to pick how the team looks. .

Cujo Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I love that wordmarkThe Blue Jays called, they want they script back... Try late-90s Colorado football.

I always thought the Grizzlies' number change was related to the switch to Rev 30 jerseys. Was there an NBA rule change the same year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonFromMiami Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'm probably late to this, but shame on Nike for outfitting Duke and Kentucky in nearly identical tournament whites. I will say the term must be : Bland for Bland´s sake, BFBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
