how can we tell if those aren't "new"... Im not thinking about the pink angle, but if the unis are "new" I wonder if the sneakers were "new".

some of the players were upset they couldnt get "pink" sneakers.... soooooooo did they settle for "new" white/blue ones?

According to Auriemma on the Geno Show the team has worn the same model Nike sneaker all year. They will change to a newer/different model when they change to the "platinum" uniforms.

None of the UConn kids had pink shoes.

Kelly's sneakers looked out of the box new; but I think they were the same model she has been wearing all year. (Her old ones have been looking pretty well worn out and dirty for the past few weeks -- "working girl's shoes".)

The rest of the team did have new models (plural).

Most of the team (all but Tiff, Kaleena and Lauren), had a new shoe model that is mostly white but has blue/gray trim covering the ankles.

Tiff, Kaleena and Lauren had a new shoe that is white with red trim, a black tongue and red laces. It looks very similar to the shoes the whole team wore for the first six games of the season (excepting Stanford) plus Fairfield and UNC. This may be the same shoe as the early season model with minor cosmetic changes; or it may be an all new model. There is no way to tell from the pictures.

This was a rare occasion in UConn "shoe history" where a new shoe was introduced, but was not worn by all (or nearly all) the players. (Three years ago, there was a new shoe introduced for a big ESPN game where all players except Lorin Dixon and Tina Charles had the new shoe. My theory on that is that the shoe was not yet available in a size as large as Tina required, or as small as Lorin needed.) Just guessing here!

Hayes, Lewis and Engeln had a new white shoe with red trim, a black tongue and red laces. It looked very much like the shoes the whole team wore in the first six games of the season (except Stanford), and also for the Fairfield and UNC games.

For many years, it has been a rare game where all (or very nearly all) the entire UConn Team has not worn the same shoe.

Any one who wants to see clear pictures of the new shoes, go to today's (Feb 12) "Photos UConn vs Georgetown, Courant". There are lots of action close-ups of the kids shoes.

FWIW: I think the shoe change today was a contributor to KML's superb play.
Others, of course, will disagree.

Money, it's gotta be the shoes...



Is olde coach really Mars???

Well not that it is of importance but I contend that the players were wearing the same shoes they wore as far back as the the last home game (Rutgers) at least. As a minimum, Buck, Banks, Bria and Doty all wore the same blue/grey trimmed shoes they wore at the the Rugters game. The team does wear (for the most part) a dark blue shoe for away games (and XL games) to match the blue socks (I have no comment on the model of the dark blue shoes)

So for now I stick with my original answer that they did not get/wear "new" (model) shoes for this game which I thought was DC's question.

Also noticed some had slightly different jerseys. They were all trimmed in pink but some, like KML, had the breast cancer awareness ribbon in the mesh back while others had the standard UConn mesh design.

OC - According to coach Auriemma and backed by Coach Mosely, the team has worn the same model of Nike shoe all year. They have not and will not change shoe models during the season until the uniform change happens. Are they mistaken?

I don't think OC listens to what people are telling him.

I wonder if the FROSH has new uniforms and the returning players just pulled out what they wore last year.

BTW when Im saying "NEW" I mean "tear the wrapping paper off" new... "never worn" before not MODEL.
