RootforRoo44 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I just can't see how anyone can like the grey...they look awful. The blue is bearable, but the fact that silver/grey isn't even one of our colors makes me wonder what the whole point is? Are we saying we are only good enough to wear second place (silver)? Whatever happened to GOLD?! What happened to these?! They have that awesome looking "A" on the shorts and look slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our athletics department truly seems to be often oblivious to the obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Those are by far my favorite uni's the Zips have ever donned. Our athletics department truly seems to be often oblivious to the obvious. Couldn't agree more. I just don't like the new look. I don't care for the A on the shorts either, the way that it sits behind the striping just looks odd to me. I think the kids all wanted the grey though. Maybe Keith gave in to the team's wishes??

If that's the case then it's a wise move on KD's part. Learn to pick your battles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the ast coaches ideas. I forget which one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKSportsFan Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Unless you make your order through the bookstore run by UA, you might have trouble with copyrights for the logos. I guess you could have someone make a generic AKRON jersey. I would think that an exact replica would be a problem. I meant to take it to the UA bookstore. Petition them to get them made. We just have to convince them that they can sell atleast 100 jerseys. Its pitiful we can't get the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 They're killing UNC's great uniforms? Too far, Nike. If only all schools had "awesome" Russel uniforms like OU... I remember my middle school football team wore the same thing, and even we were embarrassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I like the grey, of course, I like alternate uni's. It's interesting the article mentioned that the shade of grey, chosen by Nike, is boring. I'm not in 100% agreement with that, but I do feel with the columnist; I prefer a more distinct, bold, darker shade of grey ala Oklahoma State or Washington State. I still know we need old-gold alternates!!! (3 exclamation points! ) I take back most of what I stated above. I don't love our particular shade of grey, and I don't hate it. But I love the shade of grey Nike's chosen for these select uni's! They're sweeeeet! Yahoo! article. Slideshow. Totally sick! The shade of grey chosen is a more bold, distinct shade of grey than ours. Again, like Oklahoma State or Washington State's shade of grey. Anyhow, I like the grey uniforms for a few reasons. 1. I like grey. 2. I like alternate uni's. 3. Baseball has always had grey uniforms. 4. Blue, gold & grey is a sharp combo! (When I say gold, I always mean old gold, never yellow!) 5. If adding grey to a school's uniform becomes as commonplace and acceptable as adding black, then basically Columbus State's colors are now just red & white!

I guess this is all personal taste, but I don't like the dark grey. I actually prefer the light grey the Zips chose this season. However, I'd like to see a similarly lightened gold version (not yellow...I hate that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootforRoo44 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Akron Hoops to Bring Back Gold Uniforms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Akron Hoops to Bring Back Gold Uniforms? I've always been a fan of the gold unis. Not for every game, but 2-3 special ones a year is a great idea. I hope it's true, but it will be odd to see gold again, since all 3 of the current jerseys only feature gray and blue. Maybe a gold alternate means they're redesigning all 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I think we should use Old Gold uniforms as much as possible, in all sports. It's very distinctive. And we should sell alot more Old Gold tee shirts, for the same reason. Last season, I think we missed a great opportunity to use Blue and GOLD letters and numbers on those Gray uniforms.

I've always liked the look of gold numbers and lettering, on both blue and white uniforms. Similar to what the soccer team currently wears. Maybe the numbers/lettering can be hard to read on the whites, but in a sport like basketball, fans can recognize all the players without having to see their names.
