Some of the stuff I read on this forum absolutely blows my mind. This couldn't be any further from the truth. During the course of FY17 Adidas actually hit a high in the U.S. market and overtook Jordan Brand as the #2 sportswear company.

Read about it yourself: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/ear ... 6814c370eb

Meanwhile Under Armour is crashing faster than any other brand in its market segment... and I see several comments on this board hoping that we would enter into a contract with them. Please, God, no. If we leave Adidas, it should only be for the swoosh... but the fact of the matter is, Adidas has more to offer to a school of our size at this point than Nike would.

Ramulous was making a joke due to the FBI investigation, obviously Adidas has enough money to supply us with new uniforms.

Adidas up 31% YoY in Q3 compared to -12% for Under Armour and -3% for Nike. Not a bad partnership to have right now.

Liked the look of the FB unis tonight. Hoping the MBB unis have a similar theme this year, I like the idea of incorporating the anchor into the design - it's classic RI imagery and has a good "hope" metaphor too.

I love the anchor and suits RI well as it is the states flag, but I worry people will also confuse it with Rhode Island College "Anchorman".

I hear ya. In fact, I'm weirdly pretty sure I've seen RIC gear using the classic Rhody interlocked "RI", but with their colors (red and...yellow/gold?). Maybe if we keep it blue and don't have that marvel comics looking "anchorman" guy we can "franchise" it?

You’re right actually, I think their baseball team used the RI, lol who knows

New regime so I do hope new uniforms are a must this year.

I will continually maintain that we should be consistent with a school font and consistency across all uniforms and all school official merchandise.

On top of all that our "Keaney" blue is inconsistent as well. Most of the light blue is different shades. Didn't we stop using the actual keaney blue at some point? The light blue now is not the keaney that we were in like 98.
Bring that back along with everything you said

I understand the sentiment, but they’re building on something, not trying to cut ties with it. They’ve kept things in the program remarkably similar, even with the changes in staff. They’re recruiting the same-investing time and building relationships, only now there’s again recent tournament appearances and wins to tout.

I’ve never loved the shorts, so would be fine with something different, but the players chose them. And, as long as they have to be with Adidas, at least they became a priority program with some options. So much improvement in the last few years, not just with the uniforms but also with the related gear.

Being old school, I like when everyone on the team wears the same color shoes (that are white and the school colors). We all can dream.

I love the Keaney blue or light blue uniforms. They worked well last year vs PC.

Thank you! I can't stand when someone has some random pink sneakers, throws off the uniforms. Same sneakers should be mandatory.

Disagree on the sneakers, I like the variety. I pay attention to shoes (obviously) and I don't think I've ever really seen any two guys wear the same sneakers during a game.

The team is issued Adidas basketball shoes with school colors which most do wear. Not a HUGE deal, but just my opinion.

Looks like the same unis as the last few seasons. I've got no problem with that, they look good. Don't remember the last time we had the same uniforms for 3-4 seasons in a row.

Maybe 2005/06 season through 2007/08?

I think we used two different unis in 05/06.

I wish they wore the Keaney Blue version more. IG stories from the Fr show the white and dark blue in their lockers. Last year at home vs PC is the Keaney Blue uniforms was special.

In general, I’m glad they moved toward the navy as the primary road jersey. I don’t hate the Keaney ones, but maybe just use them for certain games (like PC) like how Norte Dame used to wear green sometimes. Aesthetically, I love the navy with keaney in the trim.

The cumby is an Adidas staple.... until they change their design I don't think it goes anywhere.

the cumby was a stupid adidas stple from a few years back

i dont see the top adidas schools wearing the cumby anymore

time for new uniforms

its a new era

It isn’t changing. The players had on a new style warm up and the coaches had on a new style as well.
They looked sharp.

The biggest problem with the Cumby is for the home uniforms the cumby blue is a different shade of light blue than the interlocked RI blue and the light blue trim on the jerseys!

Why does this Blue problem exist?

i don't mean to be confrontational.. so don't take it this way

but how do you know this ?

i know in the past the players have taken photo pics for upcoming season in prior year uniforms.. and then on game #1 they had on new uniforms

I was talking to Dana. He was so excited about getting his uniforms. The players got their uniform this week before Media Day. Their names have been put on all three versions of the uniforms. Several of the Fr did videos on their IG stories with their new unis. They were hanging in their lockers during the event this week.

Thanks - that brings clarity to it !

I’m disappointed - but it’s not like I don’t like our current uniforms

I still feel we needed a tweak since more of the top tier adidas schools have abandoned the cumby a couple years ago I feel

I figured, a new regime deserved a new identity

We already found out. There are not new uniforms. These ones have worked out pretty well to this point so as much as I initially hated the cumby I’m in no hurry to switch it up.
