as you all know, we were forced by the NCAA to get rid of our jerseys from this past year because of the leg stripes which wrapped around the front. The NCAA outlawed this for some reason unknown to me, please someone feel free to fill that part in. Well, i have a reliable source that said we are getting new jerseys similar to the Ohio State jerseys they wore in the march madness tournament last year which include the form fitting top and the really baggy shorts. Another interesting piece of information i learned was that we tried to get black alternate jersies but that was quickly shot down by KK because it is not one of the schools primary colors.

I don't know what is wrong with getting traditional uniforms like we had in the mid-90's, with the Carolina-like design on the side, or keeping the same bold font on the front of the uniforms. I'm not a big fan of this changing from year-to-year. Like the roster and coaching staff, I would like to get some continuity with something in this program. The uniforms would be a good place to start.Onward and Upward!

I like the look of those tight-fitting tops, but BB you have a point about the unis changing year in and year out. As for the black, I think that would look awesome but I understand the reasoning, and think it's a good point as far as not getting them.Once A Brave ... Always A BraveComment

I think the black uni's would be a nice change and the crowd could do a black-out

You would think being that we change every year that they maybe would auction some off so that WE could get a chance to get one. I don't know? Just a thought.Comment

Do the players get to keep thier old uni's at the end of the year? This might explain why you don't see many of the for sale.
The black jersies would be cool but think they would have to be worn on the road so their would not be a chance for the Carver Arena black out..."Losers find an excuse...winners find a way" - Joe StowellComment

No, the players do not usually keep the uniforms. In past years, the uniforms would be used for 2 or more seasons before being replaced, but more teams are changing unis every season.Comment

I might be the only one besides KK who does NOT want an alternate color.Comment

I'm with MM here, I don't want another major color. I also don't really want the uni changing every season-- but to be fair, it wasn't something the team appears to have wanted to change but instead was mandated by a rule change.Comment

Re: new jerseys
The school song would have to change to "Hail Red, White and Black" and that's too long so we would need to mix the black and white to make grey, so the song could be "Hail Red and Grey". Or, we could mix the red and white to make pink with the song changing to "Hail Pink and Black". My point is Bradley is red and white... no black!Originally posted by MacabreMob

Many college teams, as well as a lot of pro teams, use the 3rd color uniform as a way to generate fan interest, and increase merchandising. Some schools have made a lot of money with sales of their jerseys.
I don't think Bradley would have to change their school colors or song. And I prefer to stay with the Red and White. But if BU did adopt an alternate uni, I would also support that. Wearing a black (or other) uniform for 1 or 2 home games a year wouldn't take anything away from our school's colors. It's not like Red & White are unique to Bradley or are associated by people nationwide with Bradley. I wish that were true (like the Carolina Blue, or the Texas burnt orange). There are way too many schools that have Red and White as their colors.
IMO, if it would help market Bradley, or give Bradley more regional or national attention, it would be OK.Comment

Actually, I agree here. It would require some effort to merchandize things though, and so far Bradley hasn't seemed able to take advantage of that (only one jersey for sale that I know of). If, on the other hand, they're just getting ready to make some money off of this kind of thing, I'm all for it.Originally posted by Da CoachComment

The uniforms I liked the best were, and this goes way back to the 70's but they had the blocks design, very similar to what the Cavs wore. I believe they were during Phegleys either senior or junior season.
Several years ago the athletic department had a housing clearing sale where they sold many different programs athletic uniforms/gear at a red white scrimmage. I tried to get a Tim Bankston jersey but ended up with a guy named Fromer.Comment

Isn't the 3rd uni color a result of a school having two non-white colors?
For example, the Illini can have Blue and Orange in addition to the standard white home uni that all basketball teams use.Comment
