Hurley's superstition

[TheChamps990411]

Don't get me wrong, I love the throwbacks. According to Jon Rothstein, American does too. I am a firm believer that throwback uniforms should only be worn 1 or 2 times a year against classic rivals. Don't get me wrong, today's game with the throwbacks from Xavier made it cooler, but Xavier is not a classic opponent. I also feel that Hurley's superstition of not switching uni's or whatever is making the throwbacks start to lose they magic. Seeing them in the first game this year was cool, and winning in them is better, but I would have rather saved them for the game against Nova on Tuesday. Although we will probably still wear the throwbacks, they just don't mean as much as they would've if they were out first or second time wearing them this year. I say, either make them the full time uni's next year, or only wear them for a few select special games, not 3 (or 4) in row.

Honestly i dont even see them as throwbacks because theyre very similar to the ones we wear anyway. To me throwbacks are the simple blue n whites like the 2006 team would wear. Give me those throwbacks.

Hey, let's have a pre-game Julius Hodge celebration night as well when they decide to wear those.

Awesome to see the old Jonathan on the warm ups.

I wonder if there are any rules around wearing throwbacks in the tourney (Ie contractual stuff with Nike etc)

I’m definitely in on the wear them until we lose in them train

Wear them until they lose.

You just jinxed them.

I could care less what they wear on any given day and hardly notice once the game is rolling along. Just win 'n game.

I'm fine with the current throwbacks, but i would love to see these next.
My favorite of all time.

The throwbacks should be in as many games as possible because they're the best uniform.

Shoulda locked the thread after this

We can still be “UConn” but please put Connecticut on the chest of all jerseys. Still get chills when commentators/old school coaches call us Connecticut.

Do they still have the white mascot costume? It would be so nostalgic to see the old white Husky kickin it with the new Husky.

1996 still feels semi-recent to me. The fact that it's when the throwbacks came out makes me feel pretty old.

The old white Husky mascot was at the Seton Hall game. Did not see the new one. The new mascot was at the Xavier game.

I take back everything I said. Throwbacks forever
