UConn's black uniforms (merged thread)

[ucbart]

Can we please, for the love of everything in the universe........have a bonfire somewhere and burn those black uniforms?

I hate them. They aren't UCONN colors. We play terrible in them.

Go UCONN!!!

PS-sorry if this has been discussed, I've been MIA. A pipe in the apartments above my restaurant burst Sunday night. Been a nightmare 4 days for me.

Just curious, does anyone know of any science-based study on the impossibility of keeping pet peeves to yourself?

Just kidding ucbart!! I'll bring the matches!

UConn has black uniforms. A few have voiced their dislike.

Agree. The black uniforms are not as complimentary….and are not symbolic of who we like to think we are—the good guys!!!

Ah Come on. The Good Guys can wear too!

Don't like them.... I wouldn't resort to burning them... I'd donate them to some poor families in Micronesia or somewhere.

I had no idea they'd been wearing black uniforms.

UConn once donated their unpopular uniforms to UConn Avery Point Huskies

they are awesome. keep them

My wife and I are not fans of black uniforms in general. Rutgers sported them a few times, Arizona hasn't. I thought the UConn uniforms were black, but wasn't quite sure on TV.

Now days, the "old school" colors have gone missing - I was watching USF play in their neon green the other day (with their normal green as an accent), some game I was watching the team wasn't in a color I even thought they used and IIRC Duke had some neon blue going.

To each their own.

I love black uniforms.

So did Zorro and Lash LaRue.

I think the Black Uniforms were a one time thing for Martin Luther King Day

I say we bring the shiny silver unis back a couple of years ahead of its 20 year aniversary!

I believe those were the ones that UConn donated to the women's basketball team at UConn Avery Point years ago.

The University of Connecticut colors are National Flag Blue and White.

Anyone who does not like the black unis obviously lost their taste from covid

That’s Nike’s color, not UConn’s. Hope they use them to wipe Oregon’s court.

If the color of black is developed by using equal amounts of orange, red and ultramarine blue it can be a stunning color! Ivory black doesn't hack it. It creates a black hole on TV or a painting. Go back to the color wheel.

I prefer it when the uniforms incorporate the team's traditional colors. Louisville wore yellow uniforms earlier this season and I, along with virtually every other fan who offered an opinion, hated them.

 

[Inthepaint]

I'm a big proponent of simplicity.
White at home (Gempel, XL and Mohegan Sun)
Blue on the road (Everyplace else)
Obviously they would need more than 2 sets of uniforms for laundry purposes.
How about 2 sets with "Connecticut"instead of UCONN?
Of course if we thought it would help their play, black, yellow, red. purple polka dots, etc. would be acceptable.

Black is my favorite color. The color of my soul I've been told. But never the less, UCONN doesn't seem to perform as well when using Nike's "special" uniforms. I'd rather they just stick with what works.

(Although I imagine the players like having new, unique, different uniforms. And I'm sure it's part of the deal with the Nike sponsorship.)

 

[hoopsfan22]

The team was playing in Nike country. People expected normal uniforms?
