Gorgeous game in Tempe right now - I can just imagine us tragically opting for BW if we played BYU in the CCG

I think KU's unis are sharp - not sure if I'd pair the red pants with the blue jersey, but I DEFINITELY wouldn't do it with red socks!

Tell him it's not on a gold (yellow) shell. Doesn't count.

If we're gonna bring back a gold (yellow) helmet, we should bring these babies back:

Those uniforms were associated with winning.

we did bring those back once... and I think we beat Iowa in them.

I've seen someone draw that "old" logo in the "new" font... and it actually looks surprisingly good.

Made this a long time ago - 70s-ish inspired with modern marks - kinda cheesy - not sure what my thought was with the socks stripes - but, the arching Cyclones mark on the helmet def did not work... :confused:

Maybe discussed in another thread: The “throw back” WBB unis worn today are bad, hope this was a one time deal. The MBB “throw backs” aren’t much better but not embarrassingly bad like WBB’s.

The men’s white throwbacks are absolutely fantastic. Like, borderline perfect.

The women’s version also look good, although the yellow accents wouldn’t be my first (or 2nd) choice.

But yeah, the men’s white alts (along with the gold alts) are f***ing great.

I am fine with the gold alts but the white alts should have been modeled off the Hoiberg unis which were far better (with Dribbling Cy) than than the plain Jane version worn for a couple of seasons by mediocre teams prior to Fred’s arrival. They really missed the mark by strangely using those instead of the Hoiberg unis.

WOW! I didn't know the mens' team got a white throwback too - they both look awesome! I wouldn't change a thing on either - the gold piping on the womens' uni looks great; nice effort to differentiate them a bit for each team - the football team should def be jealous of the b-ball teams...

The red pants are too much but better than their cartoonish black unis against us

White pants with a little red trim would be lights out for them

The red pants are growing on me, but they needed either blue (preferably), or white socks - the red sock were a mistake - the red pants are :cool:

Agree, it was better than the black outfit, also agree the red pants for the CU game was a fail.

I tend to think if KU is going w/ red, it should use it, not try to mix & match. It's almost always better sticking with its main blue in some capacity (red trim is fine, of course).

So is it going to be black uniforms again this week? I'm not the biggest all Cardinal look fan but I'd even prefer that over black at this point.
