March 5, 2007—Looks like those baggy shorts so popular among college hoops teams may finally be on their way out. Taking their place? Really, really baggy shorts. Starting tomorrow night, four top schools—Arizona, Florida, Ohio State, and Syracuse—will don Nike's System of Dress, a radical new look that brings Raf Simons–style proportion-play to the hard court. Complementing the aforementioned shorts are formfitting jerseys ten inches smaller in the torso, resulting in a second-skin look that's more Bode Miller than Ben Wallace. Players will also be able to customize their uniforms by adding options like padded shorts (to protect against the errant knee or elbow) and Dwyane Wade–style leg wraps. "There's sort of that tattoo mentality in basketball of guys wanting to share a similar look but also stand out within that look," explains Hans George, GM of Nike's global basketball business. "We expect that they make take some of the componentry and do something we might not really have imagined ourselves." Time will tell whether the new look catches on with more traditionally minded programs—something tells us Coach K will be a tough sell—but one thing's for certain: Those nut-huggers you wore in junior high aren't coming back anytime soon.

Nike System of Dress jerseys, $75, shorts, $60. Available at www.niketown.com, select Nike retailers, and at campus bookstores of the four debut teams.

No..........

[Seppeh]

Look pretty BA to me.

[gatorunvrsty]

I think I'm going to have to reserve judgement until I see them on the players during a game. I'd be concerned about the tight tops interferring with my shooters. They don't look very comfortable.

[PharmDawg87]

I miss the days of shorts and sleeveless shirts, and that was it. But I guess it's all about the $$$

[Cianne]

Just toss this into the uniform abortion category at Florida. It will go well with those multi-color jerseys/multi-color sleeves they had in football.

[lacene]

is this style of shorts influenced by those "jorts" that someone posted about in another thread??

:D

[PharmDawg87]

what is a jort?

I know it's satire...but funny none-the-less.

[Ms.Sha86]

I think they are so ugly. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
But I wouldnt mind seeing a couple of players in them(If ya kno wat i mean;)
but seriously......................................... .
Its a good thig that they didnt decrease the short size or id hav a fit.
But they can be trased as far as im concerned and the designer can be slapped.

[PharmDawg87]

these are going to be pants on the shorter players.

[Gator2753]

I just like the jerseys we already had thats all. This is a step down for me. If this turns into a permanent thing then I hope these uni's find their way to other SEC teams so you all can look like jackasses with us!:laugh:

It's not a permanent thing from what I've read...it's promotional for Nike...part of our contract with them...they pay us millions for sporting their "couture"...and we wear it during games...kinda like the jerseys in the UGA football game.
