Couldn't agree more. This uni looks like William Morris. It's incomplete, sort of like our post game.

Can we at least reserve evaluations until the team has played?

Re the ampersand, much ado about nothing...new unis look fine and at least we're getting our school name out there.

As for our "incomplete" post game, it's gotten us three straight 20-win seasons--they must be doing something right--and I'd wait till you see Nathan Knight before pre-judging this year's Tribe hoops edition.

Exactly! I'm more interested in how they play and the statement that the quality of the play makes than the fashion statement made by the uniforms.

That won't take long!

Ok, maybe not William Morris. How about Sam Houston?

Looks great in real life. Also, they wore matching shoes this year!!

I agree on both counts. That's a rich green. It's important to have some sense of uniformity with footwear.

Looks like the jersey is actually a variant throwback.

They should actually sell these in the bookstore...could be a great beach tank.

Would like it on home uniforms too.

for what it's worth, generally home uniforms have the nickname or logo and away uniforms have the school / city name.

see: Nationals curly W vs. "Washington", Yankees "NY" vs. "Yankees", "Wizards" vs. "Washington", etc

Yankees road uniforms say "New York" (not "Yankees"). Otherwise, point well made.

I agree that the dark green does look rich and I also think the absent ampersand looks rather goofy. We need to keep it on the unis. By the way, speaking of "green", is it me, or is the green paint currently on the home court a different color green than the dark, more richer color of green? The court green appears almost like a "Kelly green" to me. There is a specified PMS color of the green and gold colors that are supposed to be followed, so I don't know why there would be any variations. Perhaps, the maple wood on the court caused the green to become lighter? Anyone else notice a difference?
