Bulls are grandfathered.Started wit black and red pinstipes, then went to CHICAGO instead of Bulls… Their Chief Marketing guy Steve Schanwald is in charge and does a good job balancing that black uni…tweaks it here and there..

This was a pre-Stern (Jazz black alts) mandate disallowing any further dominant black primary or alt uniforms…

FYI- although ot never getd much credit, the Bulls red uni is truly a classic and should be recognized as such…

Probably one of the most recognized jerseys in the world thanks to Nike and Mr. Jordan. But I bet the away reds with the script Chicago are quite popular since Jordan wore them his rookie season.

The Sharks alternate is somewhat inexcusable, though

How so? Black has always been a part of the Sharks’ color schemes. The sharks on the team’s logo has always been black, and the Sharks have always listed black as one of the franchise’s main color since they were established.

Yeah what’s with calling it inexcusable?

Black is one of their colors!
Go Sharks!

I hate the fact that Knight would not allow sponsors in Assembly Hall, even though ther were great financial benefits, yet he lets his collar, floor, and face be blasted over west Texas with every sponsor in America.

This is the same man who made his players where nut hugger shorts for a decade after everyone else realized that long pants made it easier to watch the game.

Now he sponsors everything in Lubbock, but would not let a sponsor on the scoreboard at IU. His logo creep makes me sick. The floor, the shirt, and the commercials.

I love Kinght as a coach, but his reasons for his actions have become disgusting.

Can’t wait for that record to be broken so he and Texas Tech can go back to the irrelevant sports world instead of making headlines. Texas Tech uniforms are nothing special and I’m fairly certain he had some input in designing them. Bucknell on the other hands had some sharp -looking basketball jerseys.

Please stop calling them jerseys, they are sweaters!!

We’ve gone through this before. They were sweaters at one point. Unless you own polyester sweaters, they are now jerseys. They were made of wool… they are now made of polyester. See the difference?

That was the official excuse, but sympathy for the equipment managers isn’t the NHL’s style. The insiders made it clear that it was so the home teams could use their alternate unites as much as they wanted – and sell more of them on the process.

In Canadian Junior hockey, they wear the whites for half the season, then swich to the colours at home for the second half of the year. A good Jr. hockey compromise.

So what’s all wrapped up for him, then?

Oh that’s probably a present UPS’d to him by Chief Robert Parrish.

Homestead HS has serious UW-envy. They manage to crib both the “Motion W” from the footballers and the unis from the hockey team. The lettering on the hockey jersey is a little different.

Bobby Knight should definitely bust out the plaid for his first attempt at the record.

You think Coach Knight could still fit into the plaid?

Black is the new teal…both on the outs in the NBA…Black alt takes no creativity…look at NHL…evry team except for a few has black alternate…

Teams with alts that are mainly black in the NHL:
Boston Bruins
Chicago Blackhawks
Los Angeles Kings
Ottawa Senators
Philadelphia Flyers
San Jose Sharks

Teams with a significant amount of black in their home jerseys:
Anaheim Ducks
Boston Bruins
Calgary Flames
Dallas Stars
Ottawa Senators
Pittsburgh Penguins
Tampa Bay Lightning

So you have the Boston Bruins who have always worn black, the Chicago Blackhawks who have black in their name, the Dallas Stars who used to wear all-black jerseys, but now wear much less black, the Los Angeles Kings who have worn black since Wayne Gretzky joined them in 1988, the Ottawa Senators who have always had black, the Penguins who switched to black and gold in 1980 because of the Steelers and Pirates, the Tampa Bay Lightning who have always worn black.

Besides these teams, the Anaheim Ducks just changed their colour scheme so that it now includes black as one of their main colours and the Philadelphia Flyers hvae always had a bit of black in their jerseys.

The Sharks alternate is somewhat inexcusable, though.

So there are 11 teams who have black in their jerseys, which is down from last year because Buffalo scrapped their cool jerseys for the monstrosity they wear now. The Flames and Stars also had all-black alternates

How is the Sharks’s alternate inexcusable? Granted, I don’t like the jersey, but black is one of their official colors (see here, look in the second box down on the left).
