Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
(the rest are pretty hideous too, but ND's? Holy cow)

If they are allowed to wear zebra shorts, I demand we be allowed to bring back the bumblebees.

I wouldn't even rate them top 3 most hideous in that picture. UCLA, KU, UC are absolutely brutal if you are factoring in the shorts, too. Hellen Keller come up with these?
-
It says they will wear them in conference play in March. However, is the green color a home or away jersey? Either way they will stand out. We should counter with the Camo Baby Blues! It would be a painful game on the eyes.
But seriously...is McDonald's sponsoring them during the Shamrock Shake season?
-
ND's is the best of the bunch, but boy am I glad we are a Jordan school...
-
The Notre Dame Doublemints!!! ;D :D ;D :D
I laughed.
-
The look is bad! A blend between Pirates of the Caribbean and tricked out Pajamas.
-
Adidas somehow has made uniforms that make
Nike's "practice jersey" unis look great in comparison.
BARF.

Everyone is talking about them. Mission accomplished from a marketing standpoint.

Shorts look like the first 80 degree day at the beach in Kenosha.

Mission fail from a sales standpoint.

Those are truly embarrassments.
Idiocracy anyone?

Can we bring back the Kentucky denim unis?

Does not matter what your or some other 35 plus year old alumni thinks, it was is what a 15 year old prospect thinks.

aquaflage is really popular right now

You are absolutely correct. Though I think there is a happy medium. I love Oregon's football uniforms as do the kids. I have a hard time thinking the kids will think these are cool, but I'm an old geezer compared to them.
The shorts remind me of the 1980's print pants, puffy parachute type that some folks wore.
-
Expect to hear a lot of this during the broadcast ...
"WHAT??? I can't hear you - your shorts are too loud!"
-
They say everything comes back at some point and apparently zubaz become addidas basketball shorts.
Also, are those really sleeves or are they just zubaz undershirts?
-
If I was a fan of a team with adidas uniforms, I would be writing administration demanding a change. This is two years running that they unveiled a special March uniform that was absolutely hideous. Those god-awful things Baylor and Louisville were in last year were just as bad. Someone there needs to be fired.
-
This answers 2 questions.
Yes those are sleeves (ala the NBA-Warriors recent jerserys)
and 2. Will start during conference tourney play

According to this article Louisville, hasn't even been told the details of the jerseys. How can you have no say in what the jerseys that you're school is going to wear will be like?

I expect more from traditional powers like Kansas and UCLA. They should be above this kind of crap. Guess not.
-
I think this was mentioned but they all look bad.

There is a petition...haha

We're talking cause they are UG-GOO-LEE. Mission not accomplished from a sales standpoint .
-
Adidas makes really crappy jerseys every year.
I don't even think 15 year olds will like these.
-
All of you were wrong. Just polled 30 freshman at Racine Park HS in my Science Class about the jerseys and only 5 said that they were ugly. 25 thought they were awesome.
-
You guys are too traditional. I like them.
-
Yuck for all of them.
-
I sent that picture to a senior VP at ESPN earlier this morning who happens to be an alum of one of those schools. As he said, "what on earthy is Adidas doing...a travesty for our school...coach XXXXX should refuse to wear them, regardless of what the contract says"

He is a senior VP at ESPN he is not a fashion consultant, nor is he an urban 14 year old so just cause you dropped that big fancy name on all of us please remember that the guy is probably 50 and has no clue what a 15 year old is interested in.

You got 30 kids at Park to show up for a science class? You must be a hellava teacher.

15 year olds don't have the kwan to buy these stupid things. So they shouldn't be the target demographic.
-
Maybe Lennay Kekua helped design Notre Dame's jersey

They have parents though. 15 year olds can't afford Playstation 4s either.
-
Those are befuddling. I can't begin to wrap my head around the design. Did they have two different teams do the shorts and the jerseys?
-

no doubt, that is impressive.

As soon as someone can come up with a texting abbreviation for aquaflage it should go viral.

Widely panned today on sites like Yahoo, ESPN, etc. People are allowed to have opinions on this....I'm curious what actual 15 year olds say. I'll be asking my 14 year old tonight, though he isn't 15 yet so he may dig them. :-\
Mockery online of new uniforms http://mashable.com/2013/02/28/new-adidas-basketball-uniforms/ I'm guessing 15 year olds don't want to be mocked

Dont be too impressed only 20 showed up for that class, the other 10 were students taking a make up test that they have been putting off for 3 whole weeks.
Today during 1st hour I had a total of 8 students out of 20 in a basic level freshman science class. So yea you win some you lose some.

ND's unis are horrible, but at least they avoided the sleeves. Glad we are not an Adidas team.

Decided to do the same poll again with a different class. This time i polled 12 boys and one girl.
The demographics were all 14-15 years old. 5 black, 3 white, 4 hispanic
Once again the first reaction they had when i showed the screen shot was
"THOSEEE ARE COOOLLLLLLDDDDDDDD"
"SWAGGED OUT"
"THAT ND ONE GO HARD AS A MUTHA"
These are actual reactions. The great part is that i am currently teaching this class about the Bias that can occur in science results, So i just told them that sometimes when you poll one group of different ages, races etc, you can get a different result.
FYI: When I asked the students the following question....If you were a great basketball player and had to chose to chose a school based on a uniform how important is it. They all said it would be very important.
The lesson
Flashy sells, Different sells
Addidas did their research and realized that the young demo loves these brand new jerseys so they came out with them.
When i showed them "classic Unis" like Indiana they all said they were boring. The only two classic uni's they liked were UCLA and UNC
-
It turns out they actually liked them all but the Notre Dame jersey. The color didnt work with the stripes
-
They are all hideous but some are a little better than others. I don't know what color ND was trying to use on those, I hope to god they save them for the tournament and we don't have to see those ugly things tomorrow.
The ones with the white in the shorts are the worst, Louisvile and Baylor are slightly better but still terrible.
-
Had to dig this back up after seeing Cincinnati play today. The shorts look even worse on a TV camera.
-
If ND beats MU in those uniforms I am going to have to throw out every green highlighter in my office just so I don't have flashbacks.
-
From the looks of it in the highlights of the ND women's game last night, they have some AWESOME jerseys. Why can't the men's look like that? Seriously...simple but modern and cool.

I agree that these look great for women but the pastel color is not appropriate for men.

Well, the guys could have the same design but with pink. Real men wear pink after all.

You are right that flashy does sell to these kids. All you have to do is check out Buzz's lid from ThE Al on Saturday night. I think a lot of his style/fashion decisions are based off what the kids would like. His cap on Saturday rocked and am sure the fella's loved it.

I'm thinking a nice magenta.
