New Basketball uniforms make debut [1:40pm]

We continue to be so busy on the site that it is hard for our readers to keep up. Please don’t hesitate to not only surf the front page of the blog but also our message boards that now average more than 2,000 unique visitors a day! There is a lot there to keep you happy.

Click here for a link to a GoPack.com’s video of the basketball team’s photo shoot and conversations with the players about the Wolfpack’s new uniforms.

A few quick comments:

  • I generally like the uniforms.  They are crisp and clean.  My one comment would be that they are too white/bland.  I generally don’t like football uniforms that don’t have some kind of accent or stripe on the pants; and, I definitely don’t like basketball uniforms without the same. 

 

  • The photos of these uniforms at the end of the video appear to show some trim down the sides of the jerseys, but not the pants. Still would have liked to have seen something down the pants.  It was very hard to see that trim in the photo shoot.

 

  • The first offseason of Coach Lowe’s tenure could be defined as an unmitigated disaster.  The players all returned for his second campaign in awful physical conditioning.  It does not appear that same problem has repeated itself.  The ‘eyeball’ test of this group of players appears as though they have  been hitting the weights and working hard in the offseason.

 

  • Are those two earrings in Javi Gonzalez’s ears?  What year is this?  1995?  Why don’t we suit up Arsenio Hall and Wesley Snipes as team managers?

1:40pm Updated: Backing the Pack has some screen shots of the jerseys posted here. My issue is more with the blandness of the pants than the sharper looking jerseys.

    ^thanks for the link. I think the players will enjoy getting the new prototype. What other teams will be wearing the new material?

    There is definately red piping on the white shorts. The line continues from the piping on the shirt, and curves toward the back of the leg at the bottom.

    I am very pleased to hear about the new material. As a gear snob myself, I can tell you that a lighter, more comfortable uniform can seriously improve performance.

    I think the fit is a big improvement over last year too. I’m fine with the relatively plain look.
