What did all you grumpy old farts think of the black jerseys?

[F101Voodoo]

I like ‘em all. Any jersey looks better when we win.

When they ( mens team) win I will accept any color except pink or puke beige.

 

[CL82]

White is actually. Back is a composit of all colors. For those few WGAS.

I think it’s the opposite.

 

[storrsroars]

I think it’s the opposite.

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.

 

[Milo65]

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

 

[BugsyCT]

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

 

[XLCenterFan]

Loved them. Gotta have a poll with this thread.

Yep color and pigment work differently.

Only works with braille TV.

 

[tennmike]

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

Black is the absence of color

Not really, ultramarine blue, red and orange make a great black, artist use this color all the time.

 

[Lefty2one]

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.

 

[aburks41]

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

Yep. Just make them Navy.

 

[thatguyed]

Hey! I resemble that remark!

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

 

[storrsroars]

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

 

[zls44]

Problem with them, stylistically, is they make the red pop. Plus, as any man who's ever tried to put on nice pants can attest, you cannot discern the difference between the black and the dark blue until its too late to change.

 

[donyell34]

Hate the gray, love the black uni's.

 

[ArizonaHsky]

As much as I love different uniforms I have wearing dark uniforms at home for basketball

I agree with you, but I think one game a season they should wear their dark/ road uniform at home. I see so many other teams do it, and granted some of those teams do it all the time. I would just like to see it for one game a season.

It depends which color chart you’re talking about, doesn’t it? Black is the absorption of light.

 

[uconnfan68]

Yep. Just make them Navy.

National flag blue isn’t Navy. I’m fine with flag colors for the Constitution State.

 

[storrsroars]

National flag blue isn’t Navy. I’m fine with flag colors for the Constitution State.

So you're changing the red to some purple-ish/red color, adding gold, green and black?

Soon we'll look like Maryland football

 

[Austin316]

There are so many teams in the big east with the same color schemes. Originally I thought these looked lukewarm, maybe even DePaul-esq. I wasn’t a big fan.

Good teams can play in anything. I think the black uniforms will grow on me. If the players/recruits like it then that’s all that matters. Black uniforms is trendy today. Just anything but red. It reminds me of red-pants-guy (IYKYK).

I’m still advocating for the traditional UConn jerseys with red accent around the “U”

Maryland is an inbred state by the looks of their flag.

How would everyone feel about CONNECTICUT uniforms in this color scheme?
