I like! We have no chance of being home team (white unis) in tourney?
 
I find the obsession with branding in college sports (I'm speaking of the collective culture, not anyone on this board) as tedious and uninteresting as the persistent focus on salaries in the pros. I mean, if recruits are happy that we're a Jordan program, then yay, I guess, but I wish young athletes didn't give two cents about such matters (including "alternate uniforms"). It's been covered ad nauseum on the various Sooner Sports football programs, and I just can't be bothered to care.

Now, will someone step over here and help Grandpa down from his soapbox? I seem to have misplaced my cane.

I get your disdain for the hoopla but these are different times than 20-50 years ago. Social media world we all live in now...

It helps get recruits. End of the day thats what its about.

Having an all-time top five (football)/top 25 (basketball) program, great facilities, players and coaches, and a good university that offers a quality education really ought to be enough. But no, it matters what brand of shoes they'll be wearing.

I tend to question the priorities -- and perhaps even the intelligence -- of any student-athlete who would be swayed by a uniform. It'd be interesting to know (we can't, of course) exactly which athtletes we'd have lost in football if we'd never stooped to wearing alternate uniforms and which athletes, in hoops and football, will sign with us now that we're a Jordan school that wouldn't have otherwise.
 
I think they look cool. whatever they like is fine by me. I just wanna see them lace up and play ball.
