New Road Uniforms

[_kai_]

Some team's post players are going to have a hell of a day when we're cycling Grady, Shaq, Wamukota & Hamilton. That's 20 fouls total. 20 grown man fouls. Get the ice packs ready.

and for all we know, Eric Hamilton might literally lose it and hit someone this year. Surely, that will get addressed and weeded out by the time he is a senior, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't kind of enjoy it, depending on the situation.

I've always wondered why guys don't fake like they are going for a clean block and just ear slap a guy from behind :) If you make it look innocent enough...

[ShockBand]

Better have their jockstraps (or for today, their compression shorts) cinched up tight for that muscled front line.

[WstateU]

The new guys all look bada$$, however McDuffie has a little extra bada$$ look.

[The Mad Hatter]

I think they would be better if the numbers, names, and Shockers were all completely yellow. Of course, if they win the national the national championship, I don't care what the unis look like! : )

I like these uni's and with the old school look the white accent works, but in general I agree with you. I've always been a fan of eliminating the white accents on our black jerseys and going with a two tone look. The volleyball team currently goes with that look and it is one of my favorites:

Still waiting on an @Awesome Sauce Malone: take on the new jerseys. IIRC ASM is a bit of a student of uni design.

EDIT: Whoops, missed the very brief, almost hidden, take in the OP.

I appreciate a good uniform yes!

I love these. As stated above instead of a sleeveless shirt its an actual tank top. I do wish the font was a bit 'blockier" but it is not that bad.

I would prefer to have the home/away uniforms look the same with a 3rd alternate that looks different. i dont buy jerseys but I would definitely purchase one of these. Its not busy by any means

[AZ Shocker]

Yeah...these are bad-ass. Great new look! The old ones were good too...but I like the font change. And Eric Hamilton??? Wow the young man looks ready to take no prisoners this year!!! GO SHOCKS!!!

[AZ Shocker]

Anybody else think Coach Gregg Marshall is just a wee-bit excited about the next batch of Shocker Newbies????

I'm starting to feel a little sorry for our opponents this year.

[ShockBand]

If we ran these five freshmen as a set of starters, or basically team of their own, where would they finish in the Valley? Third? Fifth? I'd have to think once they got chemistry sorted out they could be upper division themselves!

[AG1219]

Damn, I just realized I forgot to chip in my $10 for these new uniforms. This was a crowd funding like the trees had right?

[Bluzrover]

This might help you; I know it did me...

Man, Taylor needs to add a few pounds if he's truly only 154. He looks bigger than that in the picture and McDuffie looks bigger than 185. Speaking of McDuffie, I remember reading that Coach Hurley believed Markis wasn't done growing and could end up at 6'10". I was hoping he'd be 6'9" and about 190 by the time the summer was over. Maybe by the end of his freshman season he'll be taller if not heavier. I'm sure both will be the beneficiaries of KR's offseason Biggest Gainer program.

[WSUwatcher]

Eric is JACKED. I have never seen a freshman at WSU with that much muscle.

Personally, I prefer last year's look with the arch, and I'm not a big fan of the squared-off font. I also agree with those who favor fewer font and more uniformity. Having said that, if they're in the Final Four and this time finish the job they started against Louisville in 2012, I won't care what they're wearing.

As for Hamilton, what with his prep year and all, I was thinking his hulkness might be a function of age, but it turns out that he's just 20 today. Imagine what he'll look like if he ends up redshirting as some have speculated. Happy birthday, Eric!

[ShockBand]

Fear the beard! Our young man is all grown up!

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

McDuffie looks just as tall as Hamilton, if not a smidge taller. And I believe Hamilton is 6'9" IIRC.

[wu_shizzle]

Shaq Diesel looking trim!

Fear the Beard!
