Here is a link to the story... ↗ I am not sure I like the wide waist bands; the big Jayhawks are a new twist.

!NewUnis.jpg ↗

Jaybate just had the BIG one!

I thought we were getting the uniforms with the huge Jayhawk that consumed almost the entire uniform?

Where are those? In an Adidas trashcan on top of the camo unis?

@Crimsonorblue22

But more importantly...did he say... "This is The Big One, Elizabeth! I'm coming to join ya honey."? it could be a clue...

P.S. Looks like I am in a 70's mood today.

I like them. They've got the right name, and the right logo on them.

MYOCARDIAL........INFARCTION.....911!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@jaybate-1.0 Oh crap the shoe thing

Unless adidas is stacking us with 13 OAD/TADs, for god's sakes burn them immediately!!!!!!!

They are as bad as Louisville's atrocious uniforms.

@jaybate-1.0 dont sugarcoat it. :)

@jaybate-1.0

The whole team is going to have to play with paper bags with eye holes the entire tournament.

Hell, I'm going to have type with one.

There, I just @-ed myself for the second time today.

How about some flapper fringe on these uniforms, too.

@jaybate-1.0 keep it going

Don't care for the long waistbands. Get rid of them or at a minimum keep them waistband (1") length.

How about the shoes? Maybe focus on them!

@JayhawkRock78

As I mentioned in the original post I don't care for the wide waist bands ala Louisville. I would prefer to keep the trim only the width of the elastic portion or about 2 inches.

@JayHawkFanToo need to see them on!

@Crimsonorblue22

You just want to see Mari flexing... :) :) :)

@JayHawkFanToo my youngest said, no, looks like Louisville. Like to see oubre too!

OK, whats wrong w the waistband? Nothing. You're being picky.

@KUSTEVE surprising how much you guys know waist bands, making my night! You know more than me!

@jaybate-1.0 They are as bad as Louisville's atrocious uniforms.

Bite your tongue. They look good.

My son says they are terrible!

@Crimsonorblue22 Not sure why the obsession with the waist band. I think I could go to Publix in a pair of those, and turn heads....

@KUSTEVE I hope so!! In a good way?

I AM in Florida, so I try to not get the old ladies too excited...

@Crimsonorblue22

Maybe just wear the shoes and no uniforms.

@Crimsonorblue22 I'd make it look good. I might even slip on a sweat band over the forehead...

@jaybate-1.0 maybe that's what jethro meant, a pair of those would turn heads!

@Crimsonorblue22
For. decades the KU track shorts were hot pink.

@Crimsonorblue22 I'm such a snob...lol....i would never wear "team shorts" of any kind....even KU shorts...

@jaybate-1.0...this is your super ego.

Got to bed and when you wake up maybe it will be over.

Oh, what the hell.

At least they are not pink.

@jaybate-1.0 I think you'll grow to like them...maybe they cause 30+ three balls to be shot..you never know...

@KUSTEVE pretty sure he's not ever going to like them!! Self won't either! Don't we just break them out for con. Tourney?

@KUSTEVE

If they make Self give the 30 trey order, I will eat and sleep in them. :-)

@jaybate-1.0 PHOF!!!!!!!!

@KUSTEVE which do you like the best?

@Crimsonorblue22 We're at the beginning of the 3-0 party. Let's wear them now - we can call them our 3-0 unis....we wear them for the next 3 games...3-0...3-0....3-0...3-0....

@Crimsonorblue22 I like them both. I love the Jayhawk. I like the cool little line at the bottom opposite leg of the Jayhawk...It looks sharp....

I think Self should coach in them.

I want to see us celebrate 11, tues!!! Haven't lost a game I've been to!

@jaybate-1.0 F** A...that was great...I'm crowing out loud.....

@Crimsonorblue22 you're going?

@jaybate-1.0 Absolutely. Good for the goose, good for the gander.

@KUSTEVE She's connected.

OMG, I take that back.

Don't tell adidas I wrote that.

They will having him coaching in a Tom Ford tight leg suit with a big red stripe around the hips.

Things can always get worse.

adidas, you owe us THIRTEEN OAD/TADs next season for these uniforms.

Yep! About chickened out, weather going to be crappy sat- wed. Headed there tomorrow, beat the snow.

@brooksmd Man, oh man...she is going to see those dreaded Hillbillies. It takes the whole WVU cheerleadin' team to get a full set of teeth....

@KUSTEVE

PHOF

@KUSTEVE you speaking ill of your people, jethro?

@Crimsonorblue22

PHOF

@Crimsonorblue22 Well, suck in every moment...sing the victory song loud...if you drink, make sure you drink enough to feel it, and enjoy yourself immensely...

@jaybate-1.0 Dang it you beat me.

@KUSTEVE She don't drink.

@brooksmd

For god's sakes tell me those aren't our post season uniforms.

Lie to me Brooksie!!!!!!

@KUSTEVE She has me drink for her and man do I feel bad in the mornings.

@brooksmd

PHOF

@jaybate-1.0 I'm an old military guy, and we hate change.

Last year when we beat OU, Tharpe won the game for us, we celebrated then. Band played, na na na na, hey hey hey, for Naadir! Took me awhile to figure that out.

@brooksmd

Its like adidas has been keeping these uniforms a secret until just the right moment to de-pattern us all.

@jaybate-1.0 I'm with you. If what we have wins the battle, there is no sense in changing to win the war. Bring them out next year would be good with me after they fix the waistband.

@brooksmd

Change is bad.

Bad change is the worst.

@Crimsonorblue22

I am now going to take my meds....all of them at once.

@jaybate-1.0 I knew it!

@jaybate-1.0 Don't take the little blue diamond one. It's too late.

@brooksmd ha ha!!!

@Crimsonorblue22 What's game time Sat?

@brooksmd it will be the "big one" if he takes that one!

@brooksmd 4, game day at 2? I'll check.

@brooksmd

Something like 4 or 4:30 CST.

@Crimsonorblue22 The "big one?" Really. :laughing:

@brooksmd

Copy that, no blue diamonds.

What is a blue diamond?

@brooksmd game day at 3. speaking of game day, since it starts at WSU, cf was on our news today. He, dad and guessing attorney were at the court house filing for a diversion. Pretty sad deal!

@Crimsonorblue22 Hope he gets himself straightened out.

@jaybate-1.0 said:

If they make Self give the 30 trey order

Isn't that like Palpatine giving order 66?

@bskeet

Time for StarWars refresher course. I don't recall Palp's order 66. What was that? Something to do with Joseph Campbell? 😄

@Crimsonorblue22 If that is true I volunteer to chip in to buy you tickets to the Oklahoma game.

@KUSTEVE

West Virginia... the one place on earth that even the tooth fairy declared bankruptcy!

Man... brings back memories. I think I heard that one first in 1965 as a pup.

@drgnslayr Jim Gaffigan says that if West Virginia is "almost heaven" he might want to take another look at hell.....

!new92931unies copy.jpg ↗

@KUSTEVE I'm loud! Embarrass my boys!

Well the shirts are ok....

@lincase let's see after these home games!!!

What exactly are those squares on the bottom corner of the leg? Cell phone holders?

The wide waist bands make me think they made the shorts too small (maybe they are surplus Adidas soccer shorts???) and added a waist band to make them longer...at least that is what comes to mind every time I watch Louisville.

@JayHawkFanToo I bet coach self won't wear them! Hope?? I meant he wouldn't let his team!

@Crimsonorblue22

If I understand correctly, as part of the agreement with Adidas, KU has to wear a "new design" uniform for at least few games every season. Remember the camo/zubaz pants debacle? KU ended up wearing them for a couple of games in the Big 12 Tournament. Unfortunately, this type of clothing is favored by the younger crowd who really does not have a clue what style or traditions are, and after all, Adidas pays big bucks to have big name teams promote them...at least they are not as hideous as the camo unis. This is the price you pay for having a big clothing manufacturer give you a lot of money...there is no such thing as a free lunch.

@JayHawkFanToo both my boys don't like them so I'm guessing the players don't. Self said he does say no to adidas. Just a guess!! Don't think the players want to look like Louisville.

This uniform issue, the only thing I really care about is being able to SEE PLAYER NUMBERS as I perch 8 ft. away from my 50" TV screen. When games are not broadcast in HD my failing old eyes often give me fits, trying to keep up with our guards. That said, it does appear that most of our remaining games will fall under high def. filming and release. I will wait to pass judgment after I see how the new uniforms look on our starting lineup at tipoff during their first wearing.

@JayhawkRock78

"Don't care for the long waistbands. Get rid of them or at a minimum keep them waistband (1" [;)] length."

Reminds me of a story going back to my big balling days. I believe it was about 1983. I was boxing and balling. Didn't have clean shorts for basketball practice so I wore my boxing shorts. They had a 3" waistband (to help keep them up and raise the line for low blows), with a baggy body (to house the protective cup). All the guys at ball practice thought they were cool.

NOTHING CLICKED IN MY HEAD! Man... I was such a dope.

A year or so later, Michael Jordan started wearing baggy shorts because of his superstitions. He always wore his UNC shorts under his Bulls shorts. That was the beginning of the trend towards baggy shorts.

I always felt I blew it by not seeing this oppotunity so I never made a red cent on it.

I wasn't even smart enough to continue to wear baggy boxing shorts to basketball practice again.

I think back about how dumb I was... it makes me appreciate our Jayhawk players a lot more. I know I am one of the fans in here that constantly whine about players and their actions. They are light years ahead of where I was at that age.

Can anyone else in here relate?

@drgnslayr
I can totally relate. (Never knew the MJ UNC short story).

I played a lot of bball after work in my 30's, and I could see the court and pass so much better then I ever could when I was younger-I even valued the ball more.

As for missing other opportunities-only a thousand times.

@JayHawkFanToo

What exactly are those squares on the bottom corner of the leg? Cell phone holders?

PHOF MULTIFACTORIAL!!!!!

Good fashion Design requires being flattering to the wearer.

These uniforms are like putting Beyoncé in a hazmat suit with a life belt.

We have brown eyed handsome men.

Make it stop before it starts.

Well, at least they don't look like this ↗.

@jaybate-1.0 Blue Diamond ↗. Even @Crimsonorblue22 knew that.

@Crimsonorblue22 You make it or just lurking while enroute?

@drgnslayr no!!

@brooksmd here!! I stay w/friends and head over to my sons house. They don't have room.

@brooksmd
I hope I never have to see that gawd awful uni again as long as I live.

@brooksmd
DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!! Eyeburn warning. DO NOT click on Brooks "this' link.

Does my butt look big in these?

Seems to have a lot of ankle protection in the shoes.

@wrwlumpy it looks perfect!
