A few Big changes for Big 12 basketball

[power4PURPLE]

I already mentioned in a previous thread about Oklahoma getting new jerseys (http://s3.amazonaws.com/newsok-photos/504773/lead620.jpg), but it seems they aren't alone. Here's a little something to catch you up on more changes...

Oklahoma State not only will have a new court design (http://www.okstate.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=200&ATCLID=1512990), but also new jerseys in three colors

orange - http://www.nmnathletics.com.edgesuite.net/pics/800/LH/LHTUGOMIGTMBXHT.20081106032741.JPG
black - http://a712.g.akamai.net/7/712/225/v980/www.eastbay.com/images/products/zoom/17404700_z.jpg

Texas got their own version of Nike's new HyperDunk shoes (Syracuse, Oregon, Florida, Kentucky were the only others)...

Iowa State will also be rocking some new uni's...

Finally, in non-conference news- a few teams we will/might be seeing this year have also made changes...
Kentucky with the biggest. For those of you who don't know the story, they will be honoring their legendary equipment manager Bill Keightley by using a black "K" and a shoulder band. Also, I'm digging the Derby like checkers. See here to understand...

We all know about those wonderful Oregon uni's they broke out last year where you couldn't read anything (http://misterirrelevant.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/oregonuni2.jpg), well folks, they're back- now represented in white (http://www.nmnathletics.com.edgesuite.net/pics13/640/HH/HHQJXSOJFAUFUQQ.20081017012553.jpg).

And finally, our old friend Bobby H has made some changes at WV. Not to the jerseys though...
They'll be going from this (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/75/212933887_dff1284b3b.jpg?v=0) to this (http://www.msnsportsnet.com/content/Floor73008.jpg)

Huge improvement to OSU's court imo

Did they used to have the logo with the O and state running through it on the court?

Also, I think they should just put Pistol Petes head in the middle and forget about the letters.

They also had the HUGE Eddie Sutton signature.  I think they should have two huge pistol petes on each side of the court facing each other.

does anyone else remember the terrible GIA camera angle? My God, that was hard to stomach, and even harder when manny and the boys lost that big 12 opener in overtime (<====bazing! Fatty extends his elitist KSU basketball skills)

Ford's radio show is called "Fordified!"

It must suck to be ISU. They have ugly everything.

[PowercatPat]

Kentucky's have to be the ugliest in the NCAA.

Have we called them "SoD" (System of Dress) as the ESPN guy does?  We went with "Elites" as the tab.  I suppose same diff. or whatever.

like SoD better for obvious reasons.

i wish we could get a new floor. 

i thought we were getting one next year...

anyone else know anything?

[pissclams]

haven't.  other than Weiser turned down money from Garth when offered to redo the floor- <--prob just a rumor.

i do know i hate ours and anything including a sanded down bare floor, would be better than our current option.

maybe BK will bring back the dimpled powercat & aqua blue schema

Kentucky has long been King of the crap jersey...  They actually found a good look under Tubby, but I digress..

[nicname]

BTW, OSU's court looks much better, I'm not sure if it was the angle, thre crap design, or the crap cameras used by ESPN+ but OSU's court has always looked cheap and dirty on TV.

While our court could used improvements, or current version is much better than what we enjoyed much of the Wooly era.
