Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 3218780, member: 1023"] At Nike’s insistence (or their suggestion if you take a benign view) the University of Connecticut officially adopted UConn as its primary name are years ago. It also officially made grey and red part of the color scheme, likely because Nike wanted it too. Plus they turned their back on a 75 year old tradition of having a white husky (traditionally one with blue eyes or 1 blue eye) because apparently their masters at Nike couldn’t find s clip art version. Given all that I think you are unlikely to see Connecticut on basketball uniforms SNY time soon. I tend to think the Block C was acceptable because our Oregonian overlords didn’t want their new design associated with the dismal failure that UConn football has become. [/QUOTE]
