Just so those of you tuning into the Big East Tournament, 2 pm game, don’t scream in shock and fear, Nike is debuting their new b-ball unis starting in conference tournaments. Florida, Arizona, Ohio State and Syracuse will be wearing the new look. Something that has been compared to team wedding dresses or almost gladiator-esque. A snug-spandex contoured top with sleeves and shorts that — well — baggy doesn’t even begin to describe.
You’ve been warned.
Thank god Pitt is not a Nike school.
I wonder how pissed the average overweight fan is going to be now, having to wear a very tight spandex jersey to show support for his team.
They are gonna look like those pudgy people at my gym who squeeze into under armor shirts because it is “in style”.
Q. Who are 4 teams I will now root against?
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse than Oregon’s football uniforms . . . Nike gives us this?!?!?!
How’s this effect the game if we get these? Does this mean it’ll be harder to grab Ramon’s jersey down on the baseline when he’s running from his defender, and get more open shots? I’d say the refs miss 90% of the grabbing on Ramon. Now I won’t have to complain about it.
It’ll be funny never seeing a jersey grabbing foul again – unless you pants a guy I guess.
Will this help or hurt Pitt (assuming all jerseys eventually go this way)?
