Glad we're not with Nike... Iowa's new BB unis are terrible!

EDIT: Geez, people... It's a joke. Chances are that if it's from BHGP, it's loaded with a healthy dose of snark. You're obviously not familiar with the running Christopher Polyblend gag over there.
I bet those jerseys don't rip in half though.
I still want Nike back.
over another; to be so cathected to an institution--what the hell blasted mindlessness does that betoken? I never believed we had souls to begin with, but. . . at least try to develop some.
I know, maybe we can stage some campus riots, and the partisans for one or the other global behemoth can kill each other on the Diag. The factory workers who make the miserable shit that you bliss out on can watch the highlights from their hovels when they get home, discover their fates on the ten o'clock news before tumbling into bed with the cockroaches. If I have to pick, I may prefer their specific misery to your dystopic delocalized banality.
I am sure you have been saving that exerpt from a magazine article you read for sometime now. Spare me the lecture on what kind of soul I am based on the brand of clothing I prefer.
your OP would have predicted nothing less.
Personally, I like Adidas design that tad bit more, but am at least vaguely aware that about twenty different design groups based in four different countries churn the crap out and then despatch it to factories in places like Bangladesh to get cranked for our edification. German national soccer teamwear ca. 1999 is about my vintage. . . the classic stripe on black.

I think he had a few word of the day calendar pages sitting next to him that he was trying to use up in his post.

...why care about sports at all? Just a bunch of life-lottery-winners chasing around a ball for the placification of the masses.

They need black socks with bird droppings
Eight-year-olds are going to love those for Halloween.
EDIT: It's hard to tell what's a joke when it comes to uniforms anymore.
Sad but True
That's actually better than some of the uniforms Adidas put out this year.
Dude. Whomever Adidas has designing those alternate football and basketball jerseys should be fired...or shot. Shoot them, then fire them. Shoot them, then fire them, then make them date Pam Ward.
They absolutely raked it in from the UofL / UofM final, too. Unfortunate that they had both their crap alt jersey (UofL) and their standard format (UofM) on display in front of millions.
BRING BACK NIKE, DAVID.
Does the beak on the Hawkeye actually stick out from the jersey? That would be awesome!

to help the Hawkeye players with their alley-oops
April 18th, 2013 at 10:43 AM ^
Are you suggesting the Hawkeyes' basketball team needs performance enhancers?
April 18th, 2013 at 10:57 AM ^
no need for illegal use of the hands:
Hah, so, given all of the uniformz and the general ridiculousness of them my immediate reaction was "Well, this was a nicely done joke". As I scrolled down slightly and a couple seconds passed, I had a lingering feeling "This might not be a joke. If only it were highlighter yellow instead of ..."
Ah, uniformz.
Please tell me that's a joke.
This is just awful. I feel sorry for the Iowa's fans, AIRBHG and now this ?
I wouldn't wear those if you paid me. As for our uniform provider, it is hard to forget the "highlighter" unis which seemed to lack numbers and names in football and bball this past year.

Also noticed the ! after Iowa.
IOWA!
...why are we screaming? As if the warmups aren't "loud" enough.

BHGP did this with football uniforms lat season... it was great.
Hopefully this is the first of 12.

These are awesome jerseys. I hope they somehow actually get them made and then wear them without notice. It would be the Iowa AD's ultimate "I SEE YOU!" to BHGP.
April 18th, 2013 at 10:54 AM ^

The angled black and yellow border has just enough Charlie Brown to make it work. Brilliant!
April 18th, 2013 at 11:20 AM ^
This thread. Shut it down.
April 18th, 2013 at 11:20 AM ^
Those look like an improvement. Looking forward to Iowa's angry bird jerseys.

Some dude from Rant Sports fell for it.

Your BS/This is a Joke Meter should immediately go off when seeing something this ridiculous. However, uniforms/courts/apparel have become so ridiculous that I understand why people actually had to stop and think for a second. I read BHGP and I know their series for these things, but for those who don't, I don't blame them for not immediately getting the joke. Regardless, it shouldn't have taken more than a click or a moment of thought to think, "this must be fake."

As always, Christopher Polyblend does stellar work, but is it just me or has he taken some influence from those star of Saban Productions - the Power Rangers? Then again, it would be interesting to hear "Hawkeye! Mega Defense! Unite!" in the middle of a game. Good work, BHGP!
