UConn's Nike Platinum Elite Basketball Uniforms (More Photos!)

PrintAs new photos come in (with better lighting), it appears that while still gray, the new UConn uniforms are slightly more...UConn-y. What appeared to be black trim is, in fact, national flag blue. There are also some stylistic shout-outs to previous uniforms, such as an homage to the 99-07 era side paneling.
Nike chose schools that have all won National Championships while wearing Nike (UConn was the only school whose men's and women's teams were chosen) so the National Championship stars are prominently displayed. This move the players' names below the stars on the back. (That's a Syracuse picture, but it's the same for all. Incidentally it looks like there was probably room for Scoop Jardine's name and Syracuse's one star above the numbers, but, as you'll see below, UConn's stars take up more real estate.) The uniforms also come with specific shoes and socks (we'll see if Shabazz has other plans, however).
Check out the images below and fill out the poll at the bottom to let us know how you feel about the new look.
More photos (including the widely praised warmup jacket) after the jump!
The back of the men's platinum jersey. Note the three championship stars and the "throwback" side-paneling.
The back of the women's Nike platinum jersey. Lots of stars.

Now that I like
The screen on the back is a huge improvement over the current one and the warmup is pretty slick.

Any pics of just the shoes yet?

Completely agree!
With the close-up, I may have to change my opinion. I really like them. Also, that warm up is AWESOME. I hope they sell those to the general public. I really want one!

If you don't love the backs and the warmup jacket...
…you hate America.
Period.
Also, RE: Names On The Back
If the names are below the numbers, they will be even more fantastic.
One Thing I Forgot
The new uniforms are made of 100% recycled polyester, so yeah environment!
They're goodnotgreat
If they beat ND by 15, the uniforms are awesome. If they lose (or even just continue to refuse to play offense), the uniforms are terrible. (Though the whole racking up stars thing is fantastic, glad to see it incorporated more prominently here.)
Either way, those are some nifty warm-ups.

Welcome
I agree. Good point about how the outcome of the game might end up affecting my viewpoint of these jerseys.

I blame Oregon
Because they have 50 different combos of ugly uniforms the rest of us have to suffer.

Love the hovering arm sleeves
Maybe the lack of gravity will help Oriakhi finally get to the hoop
