New Uniforms For The ND Game Only (photo)

Question: Does ND have to wear special (especially) ugly uniforms, too?

You don't find their normal green uniforms ugly???

I'm with Ice on this one, not a good game to mess with our mojo. Question: Does ND have to wear special (especially) ugly uniforms, too? And changing the school colors IS JUST WRONG!

Amen.

Good point, Meyers...of course, their unis aren't as horrid as the pukey green shirts their fans wear!

Since I originally fell in love (at age 7) with Dodger blue, I've been very interested in uniforms and their designs. I've always appreciated the classic well-designed uniforms of teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, etc. Baseball went through a horrible period of ugly uniforms in the 1970s, but thankfully returned to outfits that resembled the classic baseball uniforms of the past.

As for the proposed new Nike platinum basketball uniforms, it's interesting that the photos of these new uniforms are so dark one can barely make them out, especially the proposed uniform for the Huskies. And it seems that UConn is not the only one getting these uniforms. The LA Times has a big article rating each one of the uniforms. UConn's gets a B-. Who else is getting them? Arizona, Duke, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, Syracuse, and Baylor (with very little green). Looks like Nike is doing everything in its power to make all of these top teams look the same. Just from the photos, I'd rate them all an F.

OMG - that picture Nan posted reminded me of the troopers uniforms on the Death Star in the Empire Strikes Back. They. Are. Butt. UGLY! Could someone arrange a good Karma transplant, please?

Funny, just the other day after watching Tennessee on TV, I was planning to post something about their uniforms, but got distracted. This has absolutely nothing to do with the rivalry between UConn and Tennessee (which doesn't seem to be much of a rivalry these days), but the Lady Vols have without a doubt the ugliest uniform that I've seen in women's basketball. Orange is a fine color in moderation (Syracuse, for example, wears their orange, at least on their home uniforms, as trim--which is appropriate). But to wear solid orange with orange undershirts, etc., is just very difficult to look at. Why they would want the girls on the team to look like that is beyond me. Tennessee needs a good designer to give them some class. [Maybe they can find someone from "Project Runway" to redo them. ] Too bad Nike didn't include them in their redesign. Even those platinum uniforms would be an improvement.
