    Grey Uniforms

    At what point did grey become part of our school colors? The girls have it on their uniforms and now the guys go to all grey uniforms?

    No offense to OU but this is one more reason for me not to watch the basketball team. If they are going to wear grey uniforms all year instead of white, I'm out.

    I know cream is our official color but at least white is close.

    If someone can elighten me on the reasoning behind it, I'm all ears.

    Seriously?

    What is wrong with trying out some different colors? I like the grey unis. They were cool and kinda throwback.

    Re: Grey Uniforms

    Ok, don't give up watching OU just because Nike screwed with our unis.

    Better idea: BOYCOTT NIKE.

    They have been ruining uniforms nationwide. Duke? They now have grey in their unis. Florida? Yeah, them too. Oregon? Well, it's hard to tell what their traditional uniforms looked like, seeing how often Nike's f**ked with them.

    In conclusion, don't blame our hard working players for the fault of the uniform supplier. THEY JUST NEED TO BE TOLD THEY SERIOUSLY MESSED UP AND IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY.

    I don't mind gray trim - it looks kind of like silver. However, all gray needs to go.

    say it with me now: ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!ALL GRAY NEEDS TO GO!

    They can't be "throwback" if they were never worn as colors before.

    I might learn to like them if we score 80+ a game and keep winning.

    Otherwise, the ghey grey must go.

    Not supporting the team because of an alternate home uni is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Talk about fickle fans.

    No kidding. What's wrong with a little innovation. To suggest you will not support a team because of uniform color is ghey. (here comes the neg spek)

    Agreed.

    I prefer we stick with white and crimson, but if we have to have an alternate jersey, I think the gray was a decent way to go.

    I'm not too big on the new design this year period though. It's that new Nike look with the extra tight top (which seems to show sweat more), even baggier shorts, and no trim. That, along with no names on the back makes them look like practice jerseys IMO.

    Re: Grey Uniforms

    I've seen other teams do it as well....Mich State, Kentucky, and grey is not one of their colors....who cares? It's basketball, we change our uni's every other year anyway. plus the players/recruits like the strange 3rd uni's.

    Re: Grey Uniforms

    So I guess you people that dont have a problm with them wouldnt have a problem with the football team coming out in grey pants or adding a grey stripe or trim to the football uniforms? You would throw an absolute fit and you know it. Hell, people got upset not having the names on the unforms last year.

    Our colors are are crimson and cream, not grey, crimson and cream. It looks hideous and only teams/colleges that suck change their uniforms and designs. See OSU for example...

    Re: Grey Uniforms

    Not a fan of any gray on the uniforms (men and women), but as long as they win that's all that matters.
    at this point in the process, I can only assume it was a typo and they meant to say "cram"...
