Each school’s home uniform will feature a white base with school-specific color lettering and a 26-degree speed graphic of an iconic symbol of each school across the side of the game short. The 26-degree angle of each school’s graphic was inspired by the chevron on the classic Nike Windrunner track jacket that debuted in 1978. Each graphic represents a distinctive basketball point of view, based on the roughly 1,000 directional changes, or "cuts" that a player might make in the course of a game.
The uniforms will make their debut on-court on the following dates: Kentucky (vs. Auburn) on Feb 21; Arizona (vs. UCLA) on Feb 21; Baylor (vs. TCU) on Feb 21; Oregon (vs. Utah) on Feb 22; Duke (vs. Syracuse) on Feb 28; Florida (vs. Tennessee) Feb 28; and Syracuse (vs. Virginia) on Mar 2. Connecticut is expected to debut its uniform during the conference tournament.
At least I don't hate them. I don't really like them because they're plain to the point of being practice jerseys, but understated is preferable to crazy art experiment.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
Don't understand the hate for the jersey. I like it, I like that it's understated, which isn't to say I don't like the busier shorts and socks, because I do. I even like the corny "Marty McFly" vest as someone else called it.
But in my book, you gotta get to White Castle before the weirdos show up!
Tonight he gets Happy-Go-Jackie on the big white guy like a donkey eating a waffle!
Sweet Sassy Molassey, get out the checkbook and pay Grandma for the rubdown!
I appreciate that the jerseys are traditional tank type jerseys, worn up until ~2005 when the cbb world inexplicably decided to make everyone wear basically t-shirts with the arms cutoff aka women's jerseys

Thank god we got new unis. The 5 new versions this year were getting old.
I fly like a hawk, or better yet an eagle--a seagull. I sniff suckers out like a beagle...My ego is off and running and gone, Cause I'm about the best and if you diss than that's wrong
I sound like an old guy but what was wrong with keeping the same uniform for many years with two versions - one home and one away. Fuck Oregon football for turning college athletics into a constant fashion show.

True, but more importantly - it is what Nike wants.
I wonder if we will wear these again this year? I would like to see them for a game or two. Oregon, duke, Kentucky, orange have all wore them this year again. Do you think we will be chosen to wear what ever special uniforms Nike comes out with this year? I would think so with signing out new contract with Nike and fully expect new football uniforms this year!
Spartans are wearing neon green ones tonight. I haven't heard about any other teams yet. I'm down the these one time/ specials unis. The team and recruits love it!
