If you aren’t on Twitter or don’t follow me on Twitter, you weren’t among the first fans of the UConn Huskies men’s and women’s basketball teams to see some special uniforms released by Nike today.
I had the pleasure of attending the release event for the Nike Hyper Elite Platinum uniforms for college basketball in New York City this morning. There are eight schools, nine teams that will be wearing the special one-time uniforms.
UConn is only the school to have both their men’s and women’s basketball teams represented.
Here are the first pictures of the uniform from this morning that I posted on Twitter.
For those wondering when they’ll be worn, the UConn men will be wearing them this Sunday when they take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at the XL Center in Hartford, CT. The UConn women will be wearing their special uniforms on Monday, February 27th when they play Notre Dame as well.
In the coming posts, I will go into a little more detail about each of UConn’s teams separately.
