So I've become a regular reader of Uniwatch, and we made an appearance in one of the linked articles today. We showed up at number 4 on this list of worst basketball jerseys ever.
It seems like our uniforms get a lot of negative reactions from both Syracuse fans and outsiders. In a way we have become the Oregon of the East, letting Nike have free range to tinker with new designs. We may have avoided the diamond-plate shoulder pads, but we have let them change the team name. We were also among the first to wear the "System of Dress" basketball uniforms.
So I was just wondering, am I the only one who likes our uniforms? Sure, they're different, but I don't want to look like everyone else. From the "ORANGE" on the home jerseys to the blocks down the side to (gasp) the silver numbers, I think they're pretty good looking. They're very modern, which I understand can upset longtime fans who grew up with a different look, but times change.
I get the sense that a lot of people outside SU are simply against the color orange in general. Personally, I'm just glad I didn't go to a school whose primary color is grey.
So what do you think?
