ACC Basketball: Duke, Wake, and North Carolina headline best uniforms
By Adam Childs
I have no idea what Louisville is trying to do with this uniform. Let’s at least start with the positive. The lettering font is synonymous with Louisville and it looks good and the numbers follow suit and also look good. The black and red is a great color combination and the Cardinals wear white, black and red throughout the year and that is good. The collar is a solid color all the way around and that is a nice pop of color also. That is where the good things end on this uniform.
The bad is about everywhere else. First, let’s start with the stripe on the sleeve. Why does it stop and not go all the way around the sleeve? There is a bunch of schools that do this and I just think it looks bad and incomplete. It is no different on this uniform. Especially because the stripe goes all the way around the collar.
The worst thing on this uniform is the design they have on the front of the shorts. I have no idea what they are even trying to do with that design. First, it doesn’t even line up. It shifts to the left or right depending on which leg as it goes up the short. It also fades as it goes up. What it looks like is some designer just trying to be fancy and put lines on the shorts. It has nothing to do with the overall design and it looks so out of place and is just not good.
Louisville could do so much better with their uniforms but they have continually come up short. They have a great logo inCardinalindal and they also could use the single L logo they have also. Any of those would be better. Instead, we are stuck having to look at this.
