Just like Virginia, Syracuse has the orange and blue color combination. But unlike Virginia, they neglect to use it on their orange uniforms. Yes, they have the blue S logo on it but they could do so much more with blue in the uniforms. The uniform would look so much better with either blue lettering or blue outline on the lettering that would make it pop. The white just looks boring on these uniforms.

The other thing that bugs me is the stripes on the side of the shorts. They get smaller as they go up until they get to the aforementioned blue S logo. I get they are trying to put some flair on the shorts, but it just doesn’t quite look right to me. It almost looks like a light shining off a flashlight as it gets bigger going down. That or a 3D look at a train track coming at you. Also, the S logo would look so much better at the bottom of the short instead of on the hip. It is a different look and just looks out of place.

They have so much potential and being a classic basketball school you think they could do better. They need to use their blue color more and get away from the weird looking stripes. Just a few adjustments and again this could be a great looking uniform.
