ORANGE socks/sneakers, blue trim unis

[AboutWeston]

No way we will beat Irish at home in the new uniforms unless we consider the orange sneakers and socks a symbol of the "troubled times" and Northern Ireland...

What? The Huskies are wearing orange? What part of "stepping all over your own brand" don't the marketers in the AD understand?

Those shoes lace so terribly they will provide no lateral support. Given Nike really doesn't do widths it is a horrible situation.

The Summitt fans will have a grand old time with UConn wearing orange.

Is there any rhyme or reason for this butt-ugly travesty, other than "let's see if we can sell something hideous?"

I just thought of something positive. Those colors will mean that Tennessee is no longer the best team in America wearing orange.

Are you suggesting that we break them in slowly?

I am reminded of the old Monty Python routine about Australian table wines:"These are not wines for drinking. These are wines for laying down and avoiding."
These are uniforms and shoes for laying down and avoiding.

Tell me this is an early April Fool's joke
Or maybe Nike is playing a joke on us.
If this is really in our future, I'd tell Nike where to put their colors, and it ain't on the back of the chair seats.

Geno is a Nike man through and through ($$$) but even HE has to think these uni's are total crap. If he won't let his team wear pink why would he let them wear ORANGE????

Hola from Cancun, Mexico! Suffering in a cold front with temps only around 77 or so.

Okay, here is my guess. 75-70 UConn. If I am close, or way off I blame it on the margaritas.

If the team loses, I will just have to have a few more margaritas to wash away my sorrows. And if the team wins, I might have to have a few more margaritas to celebrate. Either way, I see margaritas in my future.

I am not sure if the game will be on down here. The villa I am staying in does get ESPN2, however it is en espanol only. Could be the most interesting game I have watched in a really, really long time.

NOOOOOO! ESPN2 is showing the WVU v PITT game, same game on ESPN in english. Off to WatchESPN to see if it is there. (where did I put that tequila???)
