New Black Uniforms

[superjohn]

Agreed, so why not agree on those eight points, they are all correct, right?

(The answer is, because you are, literally, not capable of it and that’s just amuses the heck out of me.)

You can't possibly be this dumb.

It is clearly very dark blue (the tee shirt under it is black but faded. Compare also the very dark blue vs black
in the de Paul comparison. Very common for guys to have problems with colorblindness. I have trouble distinguishing a lot of light greens and grays.

I'd like them a little more with some small touches - maybe make the "Huskies" in cursive like in the old logo

Then throw this guy on the sides of the shorts and I think you really have something here

Have you ever noticed that a lot of your posts call other people names rather than actually trying to make a reasoned the argument? Do you think that might be because you don’t feel confident in your opinions?

Has changed a number of times over the years

There's your all white Husky, that should be the logo

Somebody made an awesome husky logo a few years ago, I'm kicking myself for not saving it. Looked like a Terminator husky. Half Husky/ half machine

I didn't call you a name and I think you just answered what I was wondering.

I understand John. It must be tough feeling that you are never quite good enough.

Just so everyone knows, it’s confirmed that the uniform is in fact black and NOT blue. Had to clarify because someone suggested I might be colorblind hahaha

Just saw Tyrese commenting on CFJ’s picture saying “you got to wear the black uniform before me”

I respect anyone's opinion BUT imo, these logos stink big time. So hokey and weak. Too smiley and friendly.
The current logo is HELLA FIRE!!!!!

 

[Yardigan]

I still don't get why everybody gotta have a Black uni now...

Haha ya but the Husky’s holding a friggin musket

The actual impact of the logo change on the current state of the program is so hilariously overblown. No one is going to make their fandom choices based on their thoughts about this logo vs the last one and the current recruits were probably still in diapers during the heyday of the last logo.

What a ridiculous statement. No one outside of New England gave a _____ about the dog with the tongue hanging out of its mouth versus whatever the one we have now. Any "rebuilding of brand recognition" is because the team stunk for a while. Even back in the Calhoun heyday, it's not like that samoyed was the thing people thought about when they thought of UConn.

Late 1970's. Living in a household with various allegiances to northeast schools.

Saw a cool picture of an all white Husky and pics of Corny Thompson and Mike McKay.

That was my influence to root for UConn. Also was a fan of Louisville.

If UConn had douchey dark blue or black jerseys, never would have adopted UConn as my team.

Cool, gunfight with WVU mascot.

 

[CL82]

I'm convinced CL82 and some others don't know what a Husky looks like. We never had continuity with our brand since we've been really good at basketball. The actual dog they used was a Husky but when it came to the logo they went with a Samoyed, they changed it a little but all they did was a change in color outline and made the sticking out tongue bright red to make it look more cartoonish but it was still a Samoyed. We now actually have a Husky logo, I think it looks badarse but I get if others don't particularly like the look of it. We actually have a Husky logo now and we didn't used to, that's indisputable.

Sigh, come on now John don’t make me post pictures of all the white huskies we’ve had over the last eighty years. I mean you realize those were huskies right? Or do you think that our mascot over the last eighty years have all been white Samoyed. It’s fine to see you like the new logo better, some people do, about 38% of The Boneyard if I recall correctly, but that doesn’t mean that the mascot we’ve had over the last eighty years wasn’t a husky. You realize that, right?

To be different?

Seriously? In all honesty it wouldn’t of made a difference to me one way or the other. On a sidenote, I became a you can see in just before the Corny Thompson era.

 

[Jholla2183]

I like them, but would prefer a red alternate.

 

[TheChamps990411]

For some reason it won’t let me add the picture, but Corey Floyd’s instagram story is the first look at our black uniforms. I LOVE them

I may get flamed for this but i think theyre straight trash! Looks awful. Nike should give me or some other people on here a call and i guarantee we`d come up with something way better than that crap.

 

[oldanintheway]

I still don't get why everybody gotta have a Black uni now...

Because when Nike(or Under Armour or Adidas, etc.) say "Jump," and schools, not just UCONN of course, say, "How high?" (UCONN's $32.4 Million contract with Nike...extended in June of 2017, of which UCONN may spend near $1.3 Million a year at its discretion over the length of the contract, while the Balance, $23.4 Million, comes through in Uniforms, gear, equipment, and apparel. If Nike dictates within each schools contract what uniforms that school can or cannot wear that's it. )
My personal 2 cents is UCONN's colors are (Navy)Blue and White. (and an occasional minimal red and/or grey), Black, No. But the bottom line is the Player INSIDE the uniforms and how they perform.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

i think theyre straight trash!

Agreed

 

[Ant3411]

I love how so many people were adamant the uni’s were blue. Glad we can confirm they are black.
I think recruits and players dig them and that’s what matters.

This. They don’t do anything for me but if the players and recruits like them, I’m on board.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Do you think it that might be because you don’t feel confident in your opinions?

I understand John. It must be tough feeling that you are never quite good enough.

I have nothing to offer here regarding my logo preference or opinion of which is better.

However, your transition from 8 indisputable facts to a self-scaffolded personality argument is cheapening and beneath you.
