I also understand that East Carolina is keeping the same uniforms from last year but, in keeping with the pirate theme, are issuing each player two black eyepatches thta the players can wear simultaneously. Because even they don't want to watch what's going on out there.

I'd pay to watch them try and play with two eyepatches on.

Considering how they played the year we beat them... I'd say there isn't much difference with or without the eye patches.

and other schools paid Orton's father to speak as well

So, for everyone but Kentucky, it was only attempted bribery.

I never said it wasn't bribery or attempted bribery, please reference where I did...

Just now.

The uni is sweet...it is those ugly-*** tights that makes it look like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy went to Lexington.

I didn't say it was anything, I just said other schools did the same thing. You're reading between the lines too hard.

Nice job with the cookie cutter jerseys, jersey looks the same as all the other schools that dont have the tight fitting nike jersey's, which is a ton. try being creative next time

You're gonna make fun of us for cookie cutter jerseys? We're a less than mid-major. We don't get much choice.

pay someone to come up with a non-cookie cutter design.

Excuse me while I break the English language down for you AGAIN! You said that you "never said it wasn't bribery or attempted bribery". This is a double negative and the actual meaning of your sentence is that it was bribery or attempted bribery. Then you said "please reference where I did". The reference was in the sentence immediately prior which is why I said, "Just now".

You follow?

You obviously have no clue how this stuff works. Nike, adidas, Under Armor, Reebok, and all of the other companies have templates. Schools at our level, and even the high majors, pick a template and go with it. That's how the big companies work. Even the "big schools" follow the templates:

Ha......yeah..this just screams "baggy"...





...but only if "tea" is used with it.

He started the trend in the NBA, not college, which would have been discovered with even the most amateur of research methods.

His bio on NBA.com says:

He dangled his tongue out of his mouth -- picked up from observing his dad working on mechanical devices -- as he levitated toward the basket and it became one of his first trademarks in personal style. He continued to wear the shorts of his beloved North Carolina basketball uniform under his Bulls uniform. This may have led him to wear longer game shorts although he has said that the extra length allowed him to bend at the waist and tug at the hem for a good resting position. Either way, the trend toward the baggy shorts was started and the entire league and sport would follow.

I know how it works, that still doesn't mean that they are creative jerseys. The whole point is that UK paid the money to get creative jerseys while others have not and simply decided to go with the cookie cutter design rather than be unique. Of course, I expect nothing less than the best from the all-time winningest program in NCAA history in Kentucky.

The NBA thinks it invented everything. If you ask David Stern, he'll tell you that he and Moses Malone invented Hot Pockets.

from an article on espn.com's page 3 (didn't even know they had a page 3)

Jordan's defiance of convention early on in his career was not unlike what the trio Run-D.M.C. was doing in its music. The Air Jordans, along with the Adidas "Shell Toe" favored by D.M.C., went on to became staples of the hip-hop wardrobe. Jordan's shaved head and his long baggy shorts eventually became the style as well, both on and off the court. He was not only a trendsetter and style arbiter, but he was a young rebel intent on gettin' money and dominating the game. These things would become mantras in hip-hop, too, over time.

from a NY times article:

More than 20 years after Michael Jordan first adopted longer shorts and over a dozen since Chris Webber, playing as part of Michigan’s Fab Five, made baggy pants the fashion in basketball, Nike is hoping that basketball teams are ready to take up a new look: haute techno-athletic on top, hip on the bottom.

Trying to inform a Carolina fan about Jordan.........wow.

Use your amateur research method on the Fab 5 & what they brought to college basketball....then look at the names of the members of the Fab 5.......take notice of one Rose, Jalen.........compare with my previous post.
