Love it. Wish I could get my hands on one.

GEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

 

[suzyq]

holy crap are those hideous.

That would be the word that jumped into my head as well.

 

[freescooter]

maybe next game we can wear orange & gold. those aren't UCONN colors either. Yuck!!!

these "special" Nike (and others) uniforms for basketball and football are just getting out of control...and uglier and uglier. And I think this is intentional, but they are more & more trying to give a gangsta look. I sort of like it when UCONN wore blue & white, with an occassional bit of red trim, Georgetown wore grey and blue, and syracuse wore Orange & blue on the road and whiel with orange and blue trim at home. Now these teams look like rec leagues with the combinations, and thugs with the styles.

Definitely the most "thug" looking jerseys I have ever seen.

The back and especially the jacket are amazing. Well done. The front, well, at least it isn't green.

 

[zls44]

Also, if the names go under the numbers on the back, they are even more awesome.

 

[WhatTheDunk]

I like 'em. But I think what's more important is that recruits like them. And most high school kids love Nike uni's.

 

[rariggidy]

I think you're right. In the new picture just posted by Kyle Muncy the trim does look blue not black

I can see the blue, but its still pushing the line of blue/black

 

[Lefty2one]

I love the design of the shorts, I wish we'd use those full time instead of the ones we have now. Wish I could see a home white/road blue version of that design.

Just got this in a tweet from Kyle Muncy

Kyle Muncy @UConnTrademark
@BpenfieldJ It is hard to tell, but it is black. They are very sharp, but the lack of blue is exactly why they are an alt uni to be worn 1x

So actually I liked the jerseys until I found out that neither white or blue are used in the design.

Switch grey to white and black to blue and I think these would be great primary jerseys.

 

[Lefty2one]

The design is similar to our old classic uniforms, just with the UC instead of the Husky patch. Love the design.

I agree, I like 'em.

I like seeing UConn involved with this sort of marketing as well.

There's a reason UConn is involved in this instead of Ole Miss and DePaul. It's a good reason.

 

[zls44]

Apparently the Syracuse ones have the name under the number, so I think they all will. Which is great.

 

[SHREADY]

I kind of think it would have been cool if it said "Huskies" instead of UConn. Go all out.

 

[CL82]

Hideous. Our colors are National Flag Blue and White not duct tape grey and reflective silver.

Courant says that they 'black" we see is actually Navy Blue. Still it's butt ugly.

Heres the whole line:

I suppose the good news is that 'cuses version looks even worse

 

[Fishy]

Meh, so you won't see blue for a game.

Get past it, grandpappy.

 

[Waquoit]

I would be disappointed if it was just platinum. The fact that it is Hyper Elite Platinum makes all the difference for me.

 

[BarkingDog]

I like them. Not sure how I'd feel if they were permanent, but as an alternative, they're great.
Was curious, anyone who follows players on twitter, have members of the team expressed an opinion?

 

[Fishy]

Boston College has to make due with the New Nike Aluminum uniforms. Providence gets Stainless Steel.

We get Hyper Elite Platinum and yet some of you duck*ing cranks are complaining?

You douches deserve nothing more than Polished Nickel.

 

[slumdog]

Beige is next.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I don't personally like them, but as someone mentioned earlier it's all about what the recruits think.

To be included with Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc. in a new 1 time uniform is better than not to be.
