I saw K State wearing these the other day and I though about GA.

The home grays we wore against UMass were amazing. I would love to see us wear those uniforms (with only one shade of gray) against a couple of our crappier home opponents. I don't want to see gray at home against anyone good (not much danger of playing anyone good), or any form of gray or black on the road.

Gray home uniforms. Blue away uniforms.

so you are saying that one man (boob winn) is the reason we dont and wont wear grey? cause it would seem that most people want us to wear grey.

Bob Win has nothing to do with the colors that our basketball coach chooses to wear

maybe you are right, however, i asked Josh if we could wear grey some, not to take over our home white but just to have another choice........and he said it wasnt up to him and for me to contact the administration. i havent done so yet but i think i am.

The K-State grays look pretty good. Our 'Keith Lee' model grays were very appealing. However the 'Tyreke Evans' year two tone (very dark gray on back half) grays were hideous. All we were missing was Rollerball style numbers on those.

So who then?

The two tone white front and gray back were nice though....They wore them first game against UMass...they were nice.

While watching the game agin' the viles, I wished we had been in old style darker gray instead of the kensucky-looking blue, just for the fact that it would have been unique in there. They probably won't have gray-clad opponents, but will have blue.

That isn't what Josh Pastner told me. In fact, during an e-mail exchange last Spring on the very subject of uniform colors, Josh courteously told me that the colors were out of his hands and that I should contact BOB WINN. Of course, he had no idea that I had already been begging Bob to correct the current colors fiasco for years (to no avail). If you don't believe me, ask Josh yourself. Heck, I may even still have a copy of his e-mail saved.

Five facts:

(1) Bob Winn is in charge of the CLC specification sheet which is supposedly given to suppliers

(2) Unless it has been revised since I last saw it, the CLC sheet states that our school colors are "Royal blue PMS 280" ("Dark blue" of "Dark Royal" would be less confusing"), and black with gray being listed as an "alternate color"!

(3) The contract with Nike clearly provides for annual meetings between the university and Nike for design adjustments. Obviously, contrary to what Bob told me, Nike would not mind making changes.

(4) Bob once confided to a friend of mine years ago that he was personally "tired of gray". I have noticed him wearing "Calipari blue" & black shirts at informal university functions.

(5) Gray is just as much a school color as blue is, but it is usually hard to tell by what is worn and sold. Medium gray (not dirty white/light gray or silver) is truly beautiful and for the last few years extremely popular, being worn by many schools which do not have a claim to it like we do.

I could dig the gray unis. Make it happen.

We wore Gray a few years ago .. Bob had the same job then ... If Josh wanted to wear Gray uniforms we would wear Grey Uniforms ... I am not saying he is against it ... but HE did say NO to black uniforms and I dont think he checked with Bob before he said so...

there is a huge difference between saying that Bob is not pushing Gray as you would prefer..... and saying that he has a vendetta against Gray and is using his power to prevent us from wearing Gray ..

You missed my point. You said "Bob Win has nothing to do with the colors that our basketball coach chooses to wear". My e-mail to Josh was more concerned with changing "Calipari blue" to a darker shade (although gray was mentioned). Bob DOES have a LOT to do with our colors - that is my point. According to Josh, he cannot choose to wear a darker blue. It is also rather evident that Bob prefers Calipari blue and black to the dark blue and medium gray specified in our brand standard. Why else would he refer to gray as an "alternate color" on the CLC sheet? The purpose of the standard is a stronger, more effective brand image for the university. It is long past time to lay aside personal preferences and abide by our own standard which was recommended by two professional design firms and officially adopted by UofM administrators. This would seem to be a no-brainer except for there are several who obviously cannot understand.
