RBP has taken a break this week from its uniform rankings project, but that doesn't mean we aren't paying attention to the hardwood fashions of the day. The New Mexico Lobos will be wearing the uniforms pictured above when they square off against Wyoming tomorrow. Back in December, we reported on the hideous unis donned by the University of Detroit for the Dick Vitale court dedication. While I don't think the Lobos' duds are as bad as Detroit's ill-fitting outfits, these are, for the record, a horrible idea. For more on the unis, check out Jeff Eisenberg's post over at The Dagger.

I had forgotten about the Detroit unis. Honestly, they look like something from K-Mart, and that may be an insult to K-Mart. As far as the Lobos new kits, they seem more suited for a cleverly-named, wolf-themed fast-food restaurant than a college basketball team.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Mrs. Steven said the Detroit jerseys look like "maternity uniforms". I concur.
ReplyDeleteThe Detroit unis really may be the worst ever. That they are designed to be worn untucked is just awful.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like the idea of referring to basketball unis as kits. Soccer has it right in that regard. I've actually thought about using "kits" in the uni ranking posts but have always worried about people not understanding what I'm talking about. Then again, you and the Russians are RBP's most dedicated readers, so maybe I should use "kits." So, for instance, I would say something like, "Did you see Detroit's maternity kits?"
