Orange. Freakin' orange. People are gonna freak out if they look orange on TV.

The black shorts kind of look like Bengals camo. Overall though, if you use the eyes of a recruit I think you say that at least look cool or somewhat trend-setting. I don't see how any recruit would look at our uniforms the last few years and be wowed by them. This is an improvment even if some of us hate them.

Then they shouldn't wear them. Period. If they can't get the f'n colors right, then we shouldn't be obligated to wear them. I know it's just uniforms, but for cryin out loud, does anyone think other (good) schools put up with this $ht?

I think everyone needs to with hold judgement until we see the whole team playing in them either in person or on TV, its to hard to tell in a 3" by 3" picture on a computer. I understand the frustration with the colors being slightly off but until i see them on TV thursday its hard to rip on them to much.

Those shorts are awful. Wish we could wear the throwbacks

Love to see how people react. Grey uniforms are not happening and they are not in the locker room. White uniforms were in the locker room and black ones. I LOVE the new black uniforms and I wish I could buy the shorts for myself. Those are some of the best looking shorts I've ever seen for a basketball team. I liked the white uniforms, just wish it looked more red instead of orange.

Now to the Adidas stuff...I really love what Adidas has done far more than what Nike did. If you look bask at the Nike unis for both basketball and football, they were boring and basic. Basketball jerseys with blocks down the side like half the teams in the country. Football jerseys that Have a single strip down the side. All boring. I think UC has some sick football uniforms with the scratches down the pants. The basketball jerseys look pretty awesome with the scratches on the shoulders. They are unique to UC and I feel that Adidas has done an amazing job. Could they be altered? sure they could. I know the players that I talk to want the shoulders to not be as wide. Small adjustments could be made, but Adidas has been great overall. There is also a ridiculous amount of UC apperal in both bookstores and new stuff has come out every year. Not sure what people are complaining about. We don;t have the fan base of OSU and don't have UC stores all around the area, so what they have now is just fine. they've brought in new stuff every year and it has all bee pretty great quality..especially the sweats. If you want to go to Nike, I would refer you to the football uniforms that OSU wore the last 2 seasons against Michigan. They were the most hideous creations ever. I hope you don't want that.

What are you talking about? They wore grey today.

If the jerseys today were not gray than I don't know what color they are.

The jerseys they wore today were not grey at all. the base color was completely white and had a light grey as the accent color on the shorts. They are called the white jerseys, but because of the grey camo, they don't look pure white.

I made that comment because there were people on these boards saying that the uniforms would be a dark grey like this: https://p.twimg.com/AnUPUsSCQAAck73.jpg.

What they wore today is very very white compared to what someone had said before.

this isn't worth arguing you are correct. they were grey.

The thing about the Nike basketball uniforms (with the blocks down the side) is that we had those unis pretty much before anyone else. In other words, everyone else copied UC.

I don't necessarily disagree with you about Adidas. They have been a good partner to UC and I don't totally hate the uniforms absent some adjustments to the basketball uniforms as you mentioned.

Personally, I liked the uniforms yesterday. They were catchy to the eye and I am going to guess the younger people will really like them. Our uniforms are much better than Louisville and Baylor who are the other teams in Adidas' test run. I am looking forward to seeing the black uniforms.
