On Thursday, one week ahead of UConn‘s first game in the PK80 Tournament, Nike released uniform designs for the 16 participating teams. They have an NFL Color Rush feel to them, and UConn’s did not come out very well.
Part of the reason for that is a style decision Nike made. From the press release:
During play, the teams will wear footwear and uniforms inspired by Knight’s signature style. Known for his all-black outfits and sunglasses, Knight’s look is translated through all-black makeups of... [sneakers].
Knight’s all-black preference also extends into the special-edition uniform designs for each school — connected to one another through the application of black graphics and a black jock tag.
