March Madness Uniforms

Well I'm sure players take pride in their name just like anyone else.

The name on the front means more than the one on the back.

The name on the front means more than the one on the back.

We'll agree to disagree on that.

That saying gets said by sports fans all the time, but it's never really resonated with me. While of course as a player, I never wanted to do anything that would embarrass my coach or the university I played for, and always wanted to be viewed as a classy, respectful, team-focused student-athlete, I'm far more concerned about disappointing my parents and family than I am a coach or school. I played for both. 

 

Also, not sure there's any correlation to winning percentage/winning championships, and having no names on the jerseys.

Are you saying that any given player is bigger than the institution itself? And that is ok in your book?

I agree and disagree. You don't want to disgrace your own name, but at the same time you shouldn't put yourself over your team/group/squad/branch etc etc either.

Personally I don't care if the jersey has names on it or not. I'd prefer not but it doesn't effect me either way. I just know X likes to argue and I'm bored. Lol

I'm saying a player will always care more about himself and his family than a University.

Agree, that's how they should play too!

They're not traditional enough...

[Josh 12,649]

They will be there moving forward.

One small change for next year...another star.

 

I don't mind subtle changes.  Alternate uni's are a lot better than changing completely.  We can check what we like a little at a time.  Personally, I like the uniforms we wore in last year's tourneys.  A very clean look with no stripes.

For comparison's sake, some of the other adidas schools for 2016.

In other words, it could be a lot worse. (Looking at you, NC State)

other then Texas A&M, Nebraska, and Mississippi State, those look pretty sharp to me

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

To me ASU Unis are trash.

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,276]

I don't EVER want to see or hear about the Maui massacre again! La...la...la....la. (covering ears and humming)

 

I hope they burned those (insert *****show tourney here) unis!

[AKHoosier 6,961]

I don't hate them, it's just that I prefer our traditional jerseys.

I like Miami's.

[Naturalhoosier 15,434]

Nebraska's look like Charlie Brown shirts.

[NRT137 316]

They're simple, though I'm not much of a fan of the shoes

[X-Hoosier 529]

I don't know if it was answered... but the uni's will have the stars on the shorts
