I might buy into your line of thinking if UK hadn't done the same thing each of the last 15 dozen years. And most of their unis are almost as atrocious as Oregon's football digs. There's something to be said for simplicity, as MT noted. For the record, I hate Louisville's unis and wish they would go back to the basics of the '80s and before.

 

 

:confused: Other than the denim (which I don't think many will defend), what crazy uniforms has UK had? Most have been the standard Nike uniform. Even last year's weren't that different than several other Nike schools. Only the checkerboard pattern was different (UNC's was argyle).

Bring back the denim uniforms

Ahem!!!!!!!:clap:

i think uniforms are a big deal to recruits today....Ecspecially big-time guys like Wall, Favors, and Cousins!! Calipari said it his self that he is going to let the players have a say so in te uniforms because he knows eye appeal is a big part of today's recruiting.....You the man Cal get crazy with it!

Therein lies the problem: Nike makes ugly uniforms, as well as ugly shoes.

Jim Schue on Gym Shoes. So what floats your boat Jim. I know you tend to avoid mainstream. Let's hear your choice for shoes.

I have only played basketball in Nikes or Adidas my whole life, and the Pro Model 2G's

 

have been by far the best shoe I have ever played in.

 

My favorite Nikes were probably the 1st Vince Carters, which looked like space shoes.

 

 

(The VC's seems to support Jim Schue's theory on Nike's ugly shoes.)

When it comes to athletic shoes, I go for practicality and simplicity in design and function.

So there's one example of an ugly uniform, and that means they have had bad ones "the last 15 dozen years"? Fantastic logic.

 

 

 

All so terrible...

They never wore the Prince jersey kind.

These were pretty bad as far as shoes go?

I had a pair of KY Dunks in '86, and I've recently wanted to get another pair. They are very pricey, when I searched for that model, the UNLV colored were the most expensive, they were in the $180 range.

is that a real Pic... looks Photo shopped.

Read the whole thread.

It's fake.

You are in the small minority on that and it is simply your opinion. Nike is a Billion dollar company I think they are doing something right.

I think Shoes just mad premiere college programs won't cut their Nike deals in favor of going to Pony, New Balance, or something along those lines....
