I am hearing they are just wearing these for the tourney and won't be wearing them next year...

Has anyone heard anything like that?

I have read the same thing from Bucknuts. That the only permanent change may be replacing the Nike swoosh with the LBJ23 logo.

I think the players will respond to this change positively because it almost comes off as an attempt by both Nike and the school to allow the players to get back in touch with their roots of playing pickup at the park or gym with friends, wearing long shorts and tighter tees. I know its hard for the generation in their 40s/50s to understand playing in longer shorts, but if you go to "The Hoop" in Columbus/Whitehall, you will see the trend of longer shorts. Yes, it may seem like it will get in the way of driblling through their legs, but Im sure when the team plays outside of practice, they sport the more fashonable trend of shorts going past the knee and underarmour. If the university and Nike agree to put the outfit on the market, it will sell big time because many teens and ones in their early 20s (like me) will be able to purchase a pair of shorts that not only rock the OSU logo, but are comprable to what you may find at the Finishline and Footlocker stores with regular Nike basketball shorts.

Bottomline is that its a new generation that the university is appeasing. Im sure Jerry Lucas had a hard time understanding the current look. To me, this certainly looks better than the "stripes" we have been sporting all year. We now dont look like the OSU Tigers. Who knows, maybe this is a prevew of whats to come. Maybe, just maybe, this might help sell OSU to a few recruits that may live outside of Ohio and see us as old fashioned and out of date.

First off, I don't care about the "Where Lebron would have went to school" question because it doesn't matter one ounce... it's just a bunch of chest-thumping talk from fans. With that said, in CNNSI's article about the new uni's they mention Lebron said would have played for Ohio State if he went to college... it's sources like this that give the OSU-connection some credibility:

Other details include an alligator scale pattern worked into the University of Florida uniforms and a LeBron James insignia on Ohio State's. James has said he would have attended Ohio State if he hadn't gone directly to the pros.

I just want me one of those base layer shirts because it has the name of all the past luminaries of the program.

SInce UF has no basketball tradition (or athletic tradition) to speak of, they just put the roster and stats from last year on their base layer. I guess it won't be sold to the public since there are names of current players on it.

I think the jerseys are ok but I don't like the change. We just got new jerseys this year and I think they look better...Why are we getting rid of the greys? I just spent a lot of money on a grey Oden jersey and they end up getting new jerseys and dropping the greys? Grrrr:smash:

The cuse are sporting their new duds, shirts aren't that tight, but the shorts are absurdly long on certain players.

I like their white jerseys, the silver numbers look slick with the silver shoulders. I think that would look good on OSU's whites, but overall ours should look pretty normal.
