No. Just… no.
Listen up Syracuse, Florida, Ohio State and Arizona- do not do this. Do not fall prey to the same disease Oregon caught in football (with their tire tread prints) and adopt these stupid looking “System of Dress” unis from Nike. Sure, every girl likes to see a man working out in a tight Under Armour-style shirt… but we do not want our basketball players wearing them on the court. Plus, the shorts look ridiculous. And is that a gator skin print I see on the Florida sleeve? Oh, hell no. If the rumors are true, you’ll show up to games wearing these atrocities starting tomorrow- please let these rumors turn out to be false. Don’t do this to us.

They look like bloomers.

Oh dear God no. Don’t let this happen. What the fuck is Nike thinking?
March 5, 2007 at 2:35 pm
Yeah- the baggy shorts look three times as baggy when paired with the skin-tight shirt. And I shudder to think what these would look like once VaTech or Miami got ahold of them.

Those are retarded as hell.

Could you imagine Charles Barkley in one of these uniforms? Fat basketball players of the world need to unite and put a stop to this.

Aren’t sneakers with dresses a little gauche, gentlemen? I prefer to wear high heels or strappy sandals with mine.

Blog of the minute, well done ladies….

Those uniforms are totally retarded, no doubt about it, but at least Nike’s designers grasp the concepts of volume and proportion; If you’re going to wear something voluminous on the bottom, it needs to be paired with a slim top.

I think that MC Hammer designed these uniforms in 1990.

They’re too legit. Too legit to quit.

I wore those shorts in the summer of 1998…….
I was in a production of The Pirates of Penzance.

‘Cuse dude looks like he has semaphores running down his sides. I think they spell out “FUGLY”.
March 5, 2007 at 3:53 pm
At first glance, I thought they were wearing skirts!

Those unis look ####

Poor Florida. Seriously, I hate them, but they cannot catch a break from Nike.
March 5, 2007 at 4:05 pm
You can count on Nike to attempt to fix what wasn’t broken in the first place. Florida looks like the introduction of “one sleeve only,” which needs to be stopped before it gets started.

No. Just No. That was perfect.

Andie: I remember wearing a similar outfit in the early 90s. A tight white t with huge basketball shorts. That was 15 years ago! C’mon, Nike!
