is the numbers. I like the “ORANGE” on the front of the home jerseys, and this new one is even more plain.

Also, the block S is already on the current shorts. I don’t know what that S is. It’s got serifs on the ends, so it’s not the block S. It also doesn’t match the chest lettering. I really hope these are just a rough draft or an old prototype.

If this is real and the gray numbers get scrapped for orange then I love it.

And I’m fine with the “S” on our shorts, since that’s supposed to be our logo now (damn, I miss that old SU basketball logo). My only problem with it is that it’s not the right “S”. The one on the shorts has serifs on the ends. The correct one is thicker and just solid block lettering.

the shorts look the same, except instead of the player’s number its an S instead. I like the block S.

The top I would much rather see Syracuse written regardless if they change the colors.

I think the letters should be more bold, they look too skinny right now.

Getting rid of the gray is fine.

1.) the duct tape that we used to randomly ruin the perfectly good orange, blue and white color scheme.

  IF that goes, I’d be a happy camper, but…

2.) the shorts look ridiculous. I don’t know if its just because I’m an old fogey who reminisces about the olden days (I’m 23), but how long and baggy do these shorts have to get before there is a Congressional Investigation into it. I mean come on. If this keeps going, short recruits would have to choose schools based on who makes the uniform as they would trip over their shorts if they played for a Nike equipped team.

Am I being unreasonable?

because my preferred jersey would be from 2003.. not these garbage jerseys. however since the last 2 years have been so god-awful, and numerous times i’ve said “anything would be better than this” i guess the new-er ones are better. how about outlining that orange # and letter with a lil blue trim? too much to ask nike??

lets just leave nike all together and switch to under armor.
jason cipolla reference, two thumbs up!!

Finally my skills as a jersey nut (read UniWatch, pretty much all of the top-10s) have come to use. I’ve seen that jersey style before (font/#s etc) in my previous days working at a Uni/Sporting Goods store that basically outfitted all the prep schools in the NE.

You can see that template here, Nike’s Team Uni builder site. (Uni→Basketball→Mens→Modified→Madness jersey). ‘Cuse even comes up as the example (effing gray #s….and I’m pretty sure that’s not Devendorf wearing that jersey).

You can build that uni using the “Syracuse” shorts and “Syracuse Font/#” scheme like so:

Sorry, first time….but that’s where that block S comes from it’s their generic S for jerseys

the “Syracuse” on the jersey of the pic that was linked is actually the name of the font, looks like they just so happened linked the colors (you can tell by the lack of gray/grey? strips) in the back shot (nh)

For my money I would welcome that change even if it is a template

Nike is still trying to sell our old jerseys

that is all.

Troy, I have an AMAZING story about him, which I shall regale you with someday and you can print it as a “blind item”

I always love when the NFL wears retro uniforms…I’d love to see SU do that with basketball. My favorite would be the jerseys from the late 80’s with Syracuse written in cursive. Does anyone remember when we stopped wearing those? Was that the mid-90’s?
