If players and recruits like them (do they really?), go for it. But they just don’t look good and nothing about them makes me think of UConn.

Had to record and watch game after it was played today. Was trying to get done before SB started. Didn't even realize unis were black.

Didn't watch but I hate 'em anyway. Did I live up to your expectations?

I knew that. I used to root for PC with Johnnie Egan and John Thompson. Those were my high school’s colors too.

When I was in the Air Force a radar technical instructor asked if I attended “any college” so I said UCONN. He said ‘why the hell would anyone go to college is Alaska?. I tried explaining UConn. vs UConn. But he was not the sharpest spoon in the draw.
Ooops I screwed that up! I meant to type UConn vs Yukon..

Just like the nuns who terrorized my grammar school, they also had bad habits.

I liked the throwback better, but I can get use to the black.

Black and navy blue. It's a winning combination if you can tell them apart on TV.

If you're talking about light, white is all light and black is the absence of all light. If you're talking about paint colors, black is all colors. White is the absence - you cannot combine colors to create white.
Yep color and pigment work differently.

Non starter for me. Wouldn't see a second of court time in my world.

I dislike black uniforms in general if black isn't part of the team's color scheme. Our low-contrast ones are pretty bad. Black with navy blue and the red barely stands out. Why bother? It's like the uniform designers don't consider that uniforms will be seen on television.

The more uniform variety, the better. Wearing the same ones every time gets boring. Throwbacks, alternates, etc are fun

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Not a fan but they were fine. Always liked the greys.

I more or less don't care about the unis as long as they're not hideous. But I don't get the lust for black/white or even grey, which is the most unexciting color ever.

Anyway, all the focus on style over substance led this old fart to dedicate an old fart song to this thread:



Style over substance is why the French are surrender monkeys ;)
