Adidas unveils new basketball uniformz
Holy hell, thank goodness Michigan opted out of these!
USA Today story panning them. I liked this bit:
3. Michigan and N.C. State had good enough sense to say no to Adidas, reportsSports Business Daily. In other news, we are all becoming Michigan and N.C. State fans this March.

Kill me. it is only a matter of time, they remind me of Zubaz, everything really does come back in style, eventually.
February 28th, 2013 at 4:45 PM ^
looked like they just rolled out of bed in that attire?
February 28th, 2013 at 11:57 AM ^
Sleeves again ?
Adidas needs to stop this crap.
February 28th, 2013 at 2:11 PM ^
I think the sleeves are on the undershirts, boss.
February 28th, 2013 at 2:38 PM ^
I think you're wrong, unfortunately.
February 28th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
I'm not one to complain about jerseys, but those are absolutely atrocious. WTF is wrong with people?
February 28th, 2013 at 1:43 PM ^
February 28th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
Zubazzz!
February 28th, 2013 at 2:07 PM ^
If this means I can relive my childhood in a pair of Michigan Zubaz shorts, I could not be more upset with Michigan's decision to pass on these uniformz.
ZUBAZ!

someone needs to be fired

Notre Dame - LOL Is that lime green, mint green, neon green, pea green, or just plain ridiculously obnoxious green?
February 28th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
I move that we get the crowd in whatever arena they begin the tourney in to die laughing.
February 28th, 2013 at 12:05 PM ^
February 28th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
The Shamrock Shake hangs around for just a little while, then in the middle of March they disappear. Just like ND hoops.
February 28th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
Kelly green?
February 28th, 2013 at 1:12 PM ^
February 28th, 2013 at 1:07 PM ^
there is one of each of those colors in that jersey. AHAHAHAHAH
February 28th, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
If pee were green as well it would be all sorts of that green also.
February 28th, 2013 at 11:59 AM ^
It's the end of the world as we know it.
February 28th, 2013 at 11:59 AM ^
February 28th, 2013 at 1:22 PM ^
And because you can't have one without the other...
February 28th, 2013 at 11:59 AM ^
If Michigan had opted in with the Adidas news being announced after last night's force majeure, I would have gone from "on the ledge" to "weeeeeee!"
February 28th, 2013 at 12:01 PM ^
When did they acquire Zubas?
Edit: Stupid work made me post late. Joke already taken.
February 28th, 2013 at 12:01 PM ^
No way a player could put one of those uniforms on and keep a straight face...
February 28th, 2013 at 12:01 PM ^
don't bother, they're here. at adidas.
February 28th, 2013 at 1:33 PM ^
The word "clowniformz" is thrown about all too casually in the times we live in, but these, good people, are clowniformz in the truest sense - they lack only the big red nose to complete the ensemble.
Imagine the game prep being lost by teams that have to spend valuable practice time learning to get the whole team in and out of a volkswagen beetle while making balloon animals . . .
February 28th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
that the reason MI said no to these wasn't because DB decided the Wolverine Action Hero pajamas looked better....
February 28th, 2013 at 12:04 PM ^
I miss Nike...
February 28th, 2013 at 12:04 PM ^
Punch Adidas in the face
February 28th, 2013 at 12:07 PM ^
Like, forever ever.
February 28th, 2013 at 12:09 PM ^
February 28th, 2013 at 12:38 PM ^
Suppose someone told you at the beginning of this week that a horrible fate would afflict the basketball team this week. You got to choose which. Either 1. The team embarrasses itself on the court at Penn State, or 2. The team embarrasses itself on the court in March wearing those. Which would you pick?
I'm thinking, I'm thinking...
February 28th, 2013 at 12:49 PM ^
damn,thats tough.Hmmmmm
February 28th, 2013 at 12:09 PM ^
are bleeding
February 28th, 2013 at 12:12 PM ^
This team brought to you by Andes Mints.
February 28th, 2013 at 12:12 PM ^
Its fun to joke about when things like this come up but if Michigan ever agrees to wear something like these I am going to email Dave Brandon and personally inform him that I will never, ever watch or attend a basketball game again. I know, tough talk. But everyone reaches a breaking point and I've just discovered mine at least with respect to the basketball team.
February 28th, 2013 at 12:14 PM ^
Just... no.
February 28th, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
If they look like shit on these guys just think what they'll look like on the short, white guys.
February 28th, 2013 at 1:21 PM ^
I'm thinking that to really rock this uni, you need hair gel aplenty, a deluge of Axe body spray, and a spiffy gold chain. Then you'll be the dopest one on the whole Jersey Shore. Start thinking up your clever new pseudonym now . . . .
February 28th, 2013 at 2:26 PM ^
Trying to picture Spike...
February 28th, 2013 at 12:19 PM ^
I don't always complain about jerseys, but when I do... Holy hell those are terrible.
February 28th, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
I know we have a tendency for fashion trends paying homage to 20 years ago, but this is just ridiculous. These weren't even stylish the first time around:
February 28th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
I would downvote the third time the same joke was made, but you went to the trouble of finding a picture, so... +1 to you, Sir.
February 28th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
These 1983 fashions are only slightly less horrid than the 1970s cornucopia of leisure suit wonder. Bullying must have been rampant.
February 28th, 2013 at 1:08 PM ^
Holy mother of God. The dude on the left is dressed EXACTLY like me in my 1977 Cranbrook graduation picture right down to the hair, shirt, the pants and the coat. And the dude on the right has my hair style and looks like i did more than a little bit.
If I was at home right now and could scan in my picture and post it next to these guys guarentee you wouldnt stop laughing for a week.
February 28th, 2013 at 2:00 PM ^
1974 Huron High graduation pictures!
