New Uniforms in Action

[HungryHuskies]

It looks like the jerseys are, quite frankly, wider at the shoulders. It looks like a basketball jersey again - with a bonus - a couple more dunks from Kwintin.

Very happy to see the evolution in jerseys.

And just throw the ball near the rim and let Williams go get it. He seems slimmer, hopefully he can stay on the court.

Watching Williams dunk has become redundant and not exciting. I want to see him hit a jump shot, that’d get me excited

I'd take an in-game, hype-the-crowd or nail-in-the-coffin dunk.

Jerseys look like jerseys again. What was Nike thinking

Yay! Thank God! I hated those ridiculous spaghetti strap contraptions.

 

[gampelcrazies]

Still miss the Connecticut jerseys and the 2010-2011 style jerseys.

They have to be wider at the shoulders to accommodate our bigger muscles.

It really accentuated the pathetic string-bean physique that was a staple of the KO era.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Uggh! Still hate the tight shorts. Jerseys are much better.

Far better than those long, capri-style "shorts."

Not a fan of those either but id rather those than the tight stuff.

 

[Devland]

I don't know if it's just me, but I don't usually take notice of what they're wearing. I am both a basketball and football ticket holder and if you asked me after a game to describe the uniforms. I couldn't. Also in football's case I couldn't tell you how the field is painted . However I could describe specific plays in detail. It must be the way I'm wired.

The progression

 

[Mazhude]

I'd take an in-game, hype-the-crowd or nail-in-the-coffin dunk.

I'd take a bucket -- any bucket -- when we need one...

He goes to the UConn rec center (like for regular students, even though he has full access to the multimillion dollar practice facility) and practices dunks and asks kids to take videos of him dunking.

If Hurley can get him to understand what is going on, play defense, be in position etc. there is no reason a guy with his athletic ability should not be a useful member of the team. As for uniforms, yeah nice. You know what I hate? When schools( like Syracuse) simply put the nickname on there. Orange. It strikes me as arrogance , like you should know who we are. Speaking of which, they were originally “The Orangemen” , after William of Orange. How this evolved into a piece of fruit I would love to know. If I was a fan, I would be upset that our mascot is an orange. Most likely has to do with PC crap, The orange MEN.

I thought it was because orange men where native americans, which is still a name change for the sake of PC but not quite to the extreme of "orangeMEN"

 

[BugsyCT]

Yeah, Orangemen is waaaayyy better than Orange.

Kid sticks with what he knows.

First time I ever heard natives called orangemen, always was redmen. But who knows. Still dumb to have a piece of fruit as a mascot

Yep, this was their logo back in the 70s and 80s

Too much nose picking orangifies the blood.
