This is Why I Don't Like Adidas...

[hhcmatt]

I didn't understand from the gif that the sides are reflective

Might be why they "ice out"

 

Also a lot of teams back in the day had t-shirt uniforms.

 

And remember that Patrick Ewing restarted all that with he got cold in gyms so I have to wear a team shirt.

 

Then some as gone as far as the long sleeve t-shirt, but isn't that against NCAA rules now?

 

Also had a friend who grew up in the 50's in Florida and played some church school that the team had to cover all their body but their heads and hands.  They wore long sleeves and long sweat pants.  But they where the satin type that all teams had as warm ups back in the day.

Now this is what I'm talking about..... sorry I don't know how to insert tweets

 

This is one time agree with the adidas hate. I am not a fan of the sleeves at all.

 

 

Ahhh... good point.

Is that jersey blue or is it black?

 

Hmmmm?

 

Argue away.

[Silverbacked1]

grey or gray?

grey or gray?

 

Could be both, I bet there's maybe 50 shades in there.

I wonder if there would be issues with Adidas copying this design, I would imagine Nike might have concerns....maybe not though.

 

So...I guess not.

Is it too late for our equipment managers to change to the retro unis (we just wore) for the Barclay Center Classic?

They'll just need to rip the sleeves off a la LeBron.

A little off topic from hoops, but these are pretty slick:

This past year or so it appears that adidas has clearly stepped up their game, which is a great sign for NU.

Minor question of the day: i haven't paid much attention to other teams, but is it now the trend to let players all wear their favorite style and color of shoes as long as they stay within the brand? Sometimes the aqua colored ones worn by some players clash a bit with our uniform colors. Shouldn't the colors at least match? Are there any NCAA rules on uniforms or is the NCAA more lenient than the NFL on these things?

It's fair to say that we have some unique uniforms from Adidas made just for Nebraska. Did we figure out which game these were going to be showcased?

Home vs. PSU. Then at IU and PSU.

Yes, I believe that's what the release stated.

Just saw this retweeted by the guy that does Uniwatch on EPSN.com (@uniwatch)
of course that comes from Maryland fan. I wonder what he has to say to the mostly underwhelming unis they're football team rolls out there. Oregon wannabees.....  
 

[uneblinstu]

I mean, I'd kinda like to see NU go the full Oregon route for basketball. 31 games. 31 uniforms.

I'd prefer the "31 wins" option myself. But if that comes with 31 uniforms, I'm on board.

I'm not sure where else to put this, but here's a good look at how cutthroat the apparel/sportswear companies have been:

For those without access to the article, it basically talks about how Nike is suing an athlete for switching over to a new sponsor.
