Looks like Richmond and us have the same shorts design

Brutal

CUT ADIDAS BAIT

Posted: **Tue Jan 16, 2024 8:56 pm**

I like the jerseys, but the font is too small. We need more cowbell, I mean Keaney blue.

Posted: **Tue Jan 16, 2024 8:59 pm**

I think it’s ridiculous to have the same design with someone in your own conference

What is this high school ?!?

Talk about lack of identity…

Yeah noticed that a while ago. I don't think this is the first time but yeah, I'm not that big a fan of our current unis.

The keaney blues are nice...the others are meh

I hate have the keaney letters and navy numbers...just do keaney for both!

Hate the navy with white numbers and keaney letters! Make it all keaney!

I hope one day we get Nike

Do you make these threads and posts intoxicated the majority of the time?

Jesus Christ dude.

4 game winning streak, 3-0 in conference, and all you’re worried another is making a thread about our uniform shorts.

Just not the Ocean State uniforms.

Posted: **Wed Jan 17, 2024 7:57 am**

I thought our jerseys looked fantastic vs the jerseys worn by UMASS. Color scheme, design, everything. I could imagine watching that as a recruit and saying “I’m going to rhody”.

I’m not going to complain about the jerseys. Positivity fellas, we are on a winning streak!

The one thing the UMass uniform had that was better than us was they had the outline of the state of MA on the back neck. I'd love to see us incorporate that

Or the Ram logo?

Posted: **Wed Jan 17, 2024 1:16 pm**

I would put the Rams logo on the sides of the shorts where the RI logo is

The ram logo has grown on me but...I still like us to primarily use the interlocking RI. Better for the brand. I do love them on the keaney's though.

Nike really does so much better than Adidas when it comes to unis. I have both Adidas and Nike sneakers and clothing and based on what I wear I am not partial to either or.

I wonder if Bo Ellis ( Marquette circa 70’s ? ) is still designing uni’s and working for Addidas. Those were some fugly uni’s he designed.

Weren’t the 1970s kinda a fugly decade across the board? I wasn’t born until the 80s so didn’t experience any of it but it looked pretty bad!

Some of that 70's style is back now. There was this couple I saw at work that made my 66 year old co-worker say "wow it's like I'm back in the 70's" some of these hipsters are brinin it back.

I agree that Nike does a much better job with College Bball uniforms than Adidas but Adidas does a good job with their top teams. Think Kansas, they haven't messed up Indiana, Arizona St., Texas A&M, Miami, etc.

I think no matter the company, if you're not a top team you will get pretty generic uniforms. I know most people hated the cummerbund shorts we had a few years back but I liked it because it was different. I agree with Elm that you need something different. It would be nice to have a throwback uniform with the gold in it.

I think the issue is how our branding has been all over the place. Those other schools have had a universal font that they've had for years. They've stuck to it and haven't deviated. Since I started watching in the 05-06 season we have used TEN completely different uniform combinations that have included TEN different fonts. We have a superior color scheme, we are a state university, you just need to keep it relatively simple.

Universal font, no over the top window dressing on the uniforms like the cumberhorns, shoulder pads (Cox era) or a diamond around the interlocking logo and you're good.

All credit to you on the font ECR!

90s early 2000s had it right. The correct font is on the Keaney blue jerseys we have now, but you’ll never see them unless we play the friars I guess? Gotta make the Keaney pop. Those warmups the recruits wear for photos is amazing.

Agreed! Late 90's early 2000's was consistent and I think where we want to get back to.

I think we wore the keaney's like twice last year right?

Too bad we can’t win in them and do them justice

I wear them more often than the navy personally

Last year against Dayton.

looks like we signed w adidas around 2017 (??)

was that the latest contract ?

anyone know how long this contract was for ?

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2024 12:26 pm**

Yes, we will be the 11th Jumpman sponsored team, keep dreaming. Our uniforms are the least of our problems. The way we play we are lucky to be an adidas school and not rocking Champion or Pony.

Yea, let’s have URI reach out to the Jordan Brand.

They’re gonna sponsor a mid major that’s on national TV 3-5 times a year and who has been an A10 bottom feeder for a few years.

You put the letters URI in front of Jordan executives and I doubt the majority could even tell you what it stands for.

Let’s be real here man.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the jerseys we had on against UMass.

There was White, Navy and Keaney on those jerseys which are exactly our school colors.

Man oh man we’ll find anything to bitch about huh?

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2024 1:27 pm**

If we don't start winning big, we will be lucky to be a TEMU school.
