Zippy989 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 Men's Basketball Gold Retro Jerseys UnveiledZips to wear 1971-72 replica uniforms during final six home games.Opinions??? Quote
Zip Watcher Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 If I could see what they look like, I'd offer thoughts, but without jacking my resolution to 640x480, I'm not really sure what I think. Quote
flipthezip Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 They don't look all that bad for what you can see. As long as they go 6-0 the last six home games, I don't care what they wear. Quote
RobC2 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 Awesome!!! I've been waiting for them to go gold w/ the uni's for years!!! (Even back when we wore pee-yellow I was hoping one day we'd go back to gold.) Can we buy one? Quote
Z-Pouch Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 They look like St-Vs unis back in LBJ's days or maybe it's just the two guys wearing them.Simple. Better then last year's retros which still can't get a bid on ebay. Quote
zippyrifle32 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 i can understand doing something like this one game, but why 6? what's the point of getting new uni's if all we do is replicate the old ones. sorry, but i don't like it. Quote
UAZips Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 Don't like them at all, but if they win in them, I say go for it. Quote
gozips19 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 i agree that they look like st. v's uniforms.....they should only wear them a few games not all 6go zips! Quote
a-zip Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Late in the season is hopefully when we will start getting more exposure. Personally I would rather look "up to date" "hip". I like the new jerseys and we are winning. Quote
UA Fan Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Here's the picture from gozips.com. The unis don't even look retro, especially with the long baggy shorts. They used to wear short shorts 30+ years ago (now that would look strange if they brought those back) Quote
Z-Pouch Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Just a follow up after actually seeing these in person.They were pretty nice - I like the gold color a lot and wouldn't consider them "retro" at all. The script "A" on the pants was different. Best of all -- no yellow anywhere. I cannot wait until that awful yellow is eliminated from the university completely.I'd say 100000000000000000000000 times better then last years attempt at retros... Quote
Zipster Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 I thought they looked really sharp last night in person. And I could care less if we wore them for 6 games or 16 - as long as we win!!!! Quote
KingZip Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Don't know about you dude but I am not for bringing back the short shorts for the guys.Don't ask don't tell. Quote
UAZips Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 They'll be on national tv against Ohio, on espn2, and possibly if we get a home bracket buster. Quote
mwilly Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 Akron's bracket buster game is on the road this year. The team is wearing white for the OU game according to Frenchy. Quote
fear the brown roo Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 i thought the gold uniforms were to tie in with the "gold rush" promotion for the last 6 home games this year. i like them and love the "A" on the sides of the shorts. if they really want to make them retro, put the guys in john stockton nut busters and make them pull their socks up to their knees a la michael cooper.
