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.
