New basketball uniforms by Nike?

For the tourney Nike has unveiled a new uniform for 4 teams Syracuse, Florida, Ohio State, and Arizona. Has anyone seen these uniforms, and can you honestly take them seriously. Form fitting shirts and padded underwear to wear under the shorts an ability to customize your own uniform if you want shorts that hit your toes you can have them. NCAA is retarded for letting these uniforms hit the court. Some special stuff by school BSB for syracuse which was their logo in 1900 will be on the shirts over their hearts, Floridas will have alligator scales designed onto the jersey, and Ohio State is going to Lebron James insignia on theirs(sorry did he attend there or not).

1. They are dumb
2. i like nike
3. Nike is good.....................FOR SHOES not Jerseies
4. it is funny what people will do (or not do) for money...
5. If you are going to wear that stuff, you need shorty shorts too...
6. The new uniforms are being touted as a "recruitment lure" for the basketball player who wants to be "stylish". I like the form-fitting tops - less for an opposing player to grab - but the shorts - if they're that LONG, shouldn't they be called PANTS? - are becoming just a little ridiculous. And, no, Lebron James was one of the last players to go directly from high-school to the pros without attending college. I certainly do believe it's past time for the NCAA to enact a rule about uniforms and accessories.
7. they look good
8. I like the tops but I still hate the trend toward longer and longer shorts. I don't want to go back to dolphin shorts but please, these are starting to look like skirts or dresses.
9. Syracuse wore these new uniforms today at the Big East Tournament. If you tune in Sportscenter you can see them. Or go watch the highlights at ESPN.com Personally I think they are pretty sharp. Most teams will have uniforms like this next year. They wanted to roll them out with the elite teams first for marketing purposes. They don't look that much different than regular uniforms. The tops are not as tight as you might think. The shorts are definitely larger than average but probably only by 10 or 15 percent. Not like they are pants. None of the Syracuse players chose to wear the "base layer" which is the Under-Armor style garments under the jerseys. Today the cuse wore the home white jerseys, tomorrow against Notre Dame they will be wearing the Orange road jerseys. Check out ESPN or ESPNHD tomorrow to see them.
