Still though these aren’t as stupid as the Nike uniforms where it’s just a big logo and the team name on the back.

The monotone ones where the logo is the same color as the jersey and number? Those sucked, but these are worse.

These shoes should be required to top the look off

That would have been perfect for the ties-and-shoes thread earlier.

Didin’t he say (paraphrasing) “Sometimes you gotta wear stupid shit because your business partner wants you to.”

Yes. And then he got a free golf trip to California.

Also, the apparel contracts in the public domain generally give schools the right to refuse, or rather changes to uniforms or alternate unfiorms must be cleared by the school. I’ve also seen them where they say school promises to where X number of alternate designs, but the school always has final approval over the design.

It was pretty obvious Self hates the uniforms and he has more power than anyone at KU.

Different contract, I bet. It was pretty obvious Self hates the uniforms and he has more power than anyone at KU.

I doubt it. Self just has no soul, but he’s smart enough to say the right thing to detach himself from the horror show.

adidas is getting a a shit load of face time out of these.

But if you’re an athlete that’s marketable whatsoever this would have to discourage you from signing with adidas over anyone else if the money’s close, wouldn’t it?

UCLA should’ve done the same

On the flip side this is the first time UCLA has been talked about in a year and had the focus on something besides a player pissing in another’s locker or a star getting suspended for being ineligible.

Indiana passed on them.

The quote from Indiana’s AD was perfect:

How much power does the school have? They sign a deal and get paid, right?

Indiana passed on them. UCLA should've done the same. I don't blame schools like Marquette for looking like candy wrappers, but the classic schools gotta have just a little restraint.
