Is It New Basketball Uniform Time Already?

About a dozen folks have sent me a link to these Syracuse shorts over the last two weeks. For whatever reason it didn't dawn on me why. I just assumed everyone really likes shorts. But I probably should have put two and two together and realized that there's a possibility, however slight, we could be looking at the new uniform shorts for SU.
Gotta say...The Nike Logo looks FANTASTIC!
Adding fuel to the fire is the rumor that Kentucky, also a Nike school, will be getting new uniforms next week. If there was ever a time to do a SU uniform swap and get maximum exposure, this would be it.
To steal AV Club's line, we remain cautiously optimistic.

Would be a great time to debut new uniforms.

I don't like all the random boxes of color
NittanyWhiteOut.com. Arguably the second best Penn State blog I know of.
I gotta say...
…I like the current shorts better than these, but all that matters is how they look on the court. It all depends on how it goes with the jerseys. I actually like the current uniform. The only change I would make is to have the side panels on the shorts go up into the jersey.
Go Orange!
My pet peeve
Is that the home jersey’s have “ORANGE” on the front. I would much rather have both the home and away have “SYRACUSE” on the front. I just think it looks classier when you have the city on the jersey rather than the mascot. Especially since Orange is the “mascot”.
That's what most pro teams do.
Home jerseys say the team nickname, road jerseys say the city (or school for college). Our home jerseys said Orangemen for a season or two in the late 90’s. That said, for college, I agree, they should have the school name on both jerseys.
Go Orange!
not talking about color
The color is always the same, white at home, orange away. I was talking about the ORANGE on the front of the jersey above the number, not changing the color of the jersey we wear at home.
Does anyone...
else think that these remind them of the Marquette uniforms? (I actually kinda like the Marquette unis).
Absolutely
And I think Marquettes unis look like shit

Please please please
get rid of the duct tape things on the shoulders…. that is all. UNC, Duke, Kentucky… All Nike schools and all traditional powers do not have little strips
And get rid of the silver all together
Make the numbers on both the home and away navy and our unis would be primo.
The silver is there because we're an "Elite" team.
Most of the “Elite” Nike teams have silver in their unis. I don’t mind it. I just don’t like the strips on the back. Totally out of place. I’d like it better if the strips were orange (or gone altogether).
Go Orange!
Nike = traditional?
I’d think Oregon would like a word. Granted it’s football but still…it’s Nike giving the school weirdness.
my only hope and concern is that the shorts actually fit NORMALLY
i’m tired of the undersized-jersey oversized-shorts look. i like my shorts loose like everyone else but this look is just ridiculous already!
Confirmed
I know some people employed by SU who told me that SU is in fact getting new basketball uni’s. Because of the silver complaints. They were completely surprised when I called and asked about it. They were kind of like “That got leaked?!?!”…

Another Bad Creation
Which reminds me…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7Lj6xf9XPU
Awww Yeah! Check out that vintage Syracuse Gear in the video. Someone get ABC on the phone! We’re 22-1, it’s time for a reunion!

Ugh
I absolutely hate these. But this is no surprise – I pretty much hate every time Nike tries to get cute with our uniforms.

Agreed. These are no good.
What’s wrong with simple? A solid font. The name of the school. Two colors. Those are all the ingredients necessary for a nice jersey.
And why do we need any silver on our uniforms? Are they reflective? Are we worried about our players practicing outdoors at night?
Don’t change horses mid stream! Remember when SU Football debuted the all-Orange football unis? They lost that game. Remember when Notre Dame debuted the Green unis? They lost that game. Throwback unis might be acceptable, but debuting a new uniform on such a big stage – BAD JUJU!!!
Luke Winn does his homework
He kept Syracuse as #1 in his power rankings and linked to this post in the first line of the column. I put up a FanShot about it.
