Watching these ND and Cincy games with their putrid awful uniforms has got me thinking about my favorite Uconn uniform ever. It would have to be our home 2005-06 uni that says "Connecticut" across the chest. Thoughts??

I agree these were the best looking, but yeah we didn't win with them and they will forever be cursed.

I personally love the away 2004 jerseys with "Connecticut" written across. It just seems so iconic with Okafor and Ben. My idea for next year is to bring back the 2004 Championship team and honor them for a 10 year anniversary. Then, have the team wear those jerseys for that game. Next year's team will definitely have talent, but imagine being motivated by Okafor and company? We'll have to make room for another banner!

The 2006 ones were snazzy as hell. I like Ray Allen-era ones though.

I like the camouflage jerseys we used in Germany against MSU.

I would do terrible things to get my hands on one of those. I think they sold them for like 2 weeks at huskywear.com during 2006. I bought a navy retro Rip Hamilton one instead. Still awesome, but would have rather have one of these.

Actually these 2006 unis are identical to the ones UConn wore in the 1990-91 season (note the early Jonathan logo on the shorts). Must have been a throwback to them and an alternate uni that UConn started wearing exclusively during the 2005-06 season.

I'd like them better if they didn't remind me so much of how our tourney run ended in '06.

Ya they sold these in white. Those were pretty nice. I ended up with the same one as you and regret not getting Gordon in white also.

Agreed. I like the look of the 2004 unis the best, although I'm glad we now have "UCONN" on our road jerseys. That's our brand.

I liked the UConn-Home, Connecticut-Away style. Reminded me of how baseball teams usually go Mascot-home and City/Geographical -Away.

I want one of those vintage ones from the 2006 season so badly. I never saw them for sale anywhere and periodically check to see if any are on ebay but never find anything.

Not sure of my favorite uni over the years. I will say though watching the ND L'ville game right now I pray UConn never goes the route of ND.

They look like the Fighting Neon Lima Beans...

I'd love to see them in the Uni Rudy Gay had on and/or Ben Gordon above.. Just for a few games. Those are so dope to me.

Every once in a while one will show up on EBay. The last one I saw ended up selling for over $100.

I don't think there is anywhere else to get them.
