The great media unveiling of the Washington Huskies’ new Adidas football uniforms Tuesday night was anticlimactic, despite the smoke machine and Jimi Hendrix soundtrack. And kind of awkward, seeing as how images – accurate, it turned out – had been leaked onto social media all day long.
That might be just as well, considering no cameras were allowed aboard the boat on Lake Washington that harbored the uniform prototypes, and cellphones were collected just to make sure. We were allowed to sketch, I guess, but my drawing skills are from the renaissance stick-figure movement of art history, so not much help there.
