Everyone that hasn't taken a lead pipe to the bean atop their neck in the last six months or so remembers Nike's dazzling "Platinum" hoops uniforms. Whether you liked them or not likely turns on whether you were neglected eyesight with the ability to distinguish colors at an early age. Everyone kind of assumed that we'd never have to see such an abomination again after the Orange finished their contractual obligation to look like spacemen from a B movie that involved scantily-clad women on the moon.
Well, no such luck, pals and gal pals. It appears as if Nike has set its sights on John Desko's brain smashers and may be outfitting them from the future next season:
