But what on earth was the situation by which it occurred?
The NIT tournament organizers mistakenly told both SU and South Carolina that they would be the home team for the game, so both teams brought their white uniforms. SU was actually the road team, so the orange gear was picked up back at the team hotel, with a police escort as I understand it.
those carolina unis are sweeeeet.
But you probably like stripes with plaids too.I absolutely love these, blue shorts and all. Think it looks really sharp. Best Syracuse basketball uniforms since '03
That could't have been by design could it? Was this a case of equipment not making it to the Road arena in time?I had not thought of Billy Celuck in years. But I loved Kueth! They actually look a bit embarrassed wearing those mismatched uni pieces.
I've been saying this over on the football unis thread but it applies here too... It was inevitable that people complained about these, no matter how much people wanted the cursive back. Unbelievable.
Nothing wrong in wanting the 'throwbacks' to be 'thrown back' to a uni we actually wore.I think the issue (at least for me) is that these throwbacks are not really throwbacks in the sense that SU never wore blue shorts with the script tops. If the shorts were orange, it would make more sense. But some people (maybe myself included) can never be satisfied.
The SU and Ohio State unis suck. The rest are terrific. I think we need to sign up with Under Amour. Nike has been failing us.

I'll pass on the 'land of make believe' shorts.
Shocker, Nike screws up a very simple SU uniform design. Just for curiousities sake, I'd like to have been a fly on the wall during the campaign meeting which determined the arrangement. I wonder why Cuse and the OSU (and maybe one other) are the only two with mismatches, and the rest are true to history. I almost wish they had made the shorts white. We could've run Celuck highlights! Wasn't the one good game in his career against BC?
It also surprises me how this becomes yet another topic where some posters are unbearably surprised that some here are complaining about something we all should complain about. Now we're bad fans for having a negative opinion about uniforms. Thank God this news did not break during last night's chat room!
