College basketball thread...

I noticed that as well, and I do not like it either.

I think you want to get "Orange" in November, but I think they will be tough in February.

 

I think St. Joe's is better than you give them credit for. They have a nice group of scorers and that team always plays defense. Worst case, I think they're a bubble team. And yeah ... "Orange" ... reeks like an Oregon deal of "let the players choose the unis."

 

I don't any part of that SU bunch in 2009, I'll tell you that.

 

This doesn't answer the question about the Orange, but I do know they first busted out those unis during the Big East Tournament last season. I think they're sweet-looking.

And yeah, I don't think I'd want to be Paul Harris today in practice.

 

Isn't it their mascot, since they had to drop the "men" at the end of it to be politically correct?

 

I think he's asking why the unis read 'Orange' instead of 'Syracuse'. I could be wrong, though.

 

Maybe it's a home/road thing. Do their uniforms say "Syracuse" on the road?

 

I just tried looking for some pics of those new road unis, but couldn't find any. You may be correct.

 

The orange road uniforms say "Syracuse" in white over a silver number with a white outline. And unlike the plain white uniforms, the road unis are modified throwbacks of old 'Cuse uniforms. The shorts have a navy and white checkerboard stripe on each side. Nike has also added a spandex-like long-sleeve undershirt for the road uniforms, which also have the white and navy checkerboard stripes on the arms. Syracuse also, reportedly, has a navy blue alternate road uniform, though I haven't seen it yet.

You can see the Syracuse, Florida, Ohio State and Arizona "System of Dress" uniforms at the SOD website (systemofdress.com).

 

Victory is mine, Trebek.

 

The jersey and sleeves are two-piece, even though it looks in this picture like they're joined.

 

Davidson is looking good early on against North Carolina.
