I've often wondered why our unis are so bland and plain. It's not as if we running around with Riddell brand screen prints from the local sports shop - we're running Jordan's. I don't want to go from one extreme to another, but some slight bit of flash would be nice.
Personally, what I would like to see incorporates the following elements:
Font that matches the universities standards (makes us look more professional and uniform)
Either Wichita (top) State (bottom) or Wichita (top) Shockers (bottom), not really a fan of the script WSU
Simple black/white background with borders on the side.
Stylized wheat edge to border
Unified theme in the shorts and top
I like the fact that we have a fairly "basic" appearance, without a lot of distractions on the top or shorts. I think we should not mess with the plain black and white background of our uniform. However, the uniforms have a white border on top and a yellow border on bottom, and the font doesn't really match the rest of the university. Make the borders match, switch the font.
To spice up the uniforms, don't make them just black/yellow/white lines. Put a couple lines of wheat flecking out, similar to the wheat on top of the script WSU logo. Alternatively, use lightning bolts that arc from the border to the center. If I had time, I'd use Microsoft Paint to throw up an example. The idea should be a classic look with a little unique flair on the borders.
We should get some with a life-size basketball printed on the front. Four guys running towards the basket, clutching their chests, confusing defenders.
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.
I like the shorts. I'm not so sure about the one that has the W and then state. Almost seems like they're emphasizing STATE on that one. Maybe that's just me. And I'm not so sure about just having Wu on the front. And I don't like the shorts that say STATE on the waiste. I could probably get used to something similar to the other two.
I'm fine with what we have, but I could handle an upgraded look as long as they stay away from some of the hideousness that we've seen others using.
I'd like to incoporate a small keeper of the plains figure somewhere on the unis to symbolize us as the hometown team. Maybe position it on the side of the shorts?
I say don't change one single thing from what they wear right now. You should NEVER screw with a hot streak. Superstitious? Maybe, but I say don't mess with 'em.
Just stay away from neon "highlighter" colors....for the love of God!!!!!!!
