Nope. They are going to be orange so they can look like the Lady V______.

Nope. They are going to be orange so they can look like the Lady V______.

I won't be rooting for them if that'll ever happen.

Get your customized UConn Nike kicks just in time for the tournament.

Those will be purchased by me!

Free beer... It's off campus..

Beer has been sold at on campus venues for many years among NCAA schools, at the sole discretion of each school. Some do and some don't, but they all are allowed to. They decided a long time ago it was rather hypocritical to not allow it since beer companies are corporate sponsors. But in the usual, convoluted logic that is the NCAA, beer still cannot be sold at NCAA tournament events, whether on or off campus.

Nike hit the jackpot with the nifty Husky logo, but flunked with those yucky gray XL uniforms. So what's next?

Orange shoes!

nothing but shin splints when I ran using Nike products. Ascics and New Balance for running.

Red uniforms

Heaven forbid, no.

Right on. Nike always seemed like a hard/stiff running shoe. Asics Gel Kayanos by comparison were much more comfortable but still felt stable. Always worth the extra $. Problem was that they'd wear out a bit quickly....but then they became perfect "mow the lawn" shoes. New Balance very good also...and great customer service.

Was Caroline Doty of Nike involved?

Yes, a press release came out over night, "In sync with schools nationally trending to highway fluorescent yellow, green and orange uniforms UCONN will now be wearing highway crew orange. In a shocking move, Tennessee women's basketball fans came out in favor of the move saying, 'We just want to see a team win in orange uniforms.'"
