In an effort to blur the lines between straight basketball players and gay basketball players Nike has come out with a new design for it’s ‘Elite Basketball University’ NCAA uniforms. University of Florida, Ohio State, University of Arizona, and Syracuse University will get them now, other Nike schools in the fall (unless they’re smart enough to call Reebok, Adidas, somebody help!)

The new tight tops are designed to ’show off the players physique’, and the new long, baggy bottoms are designed to well… make the uniforms look like dresses.

And what good is wearing womens clothes if you can’t accessorize?

To go along with the new dresses Nike has a line of accessories. They have their choice of wearing long sleeve or sleeveless compression tops, and for the first time ever in basketball padded compression shorts and leggings. No joke, padded shorts. Is this for the ‘bigger butt’ look or just to prevent the excitement of the players grinding their butt against others in the post.

The next Syracuse uniforms will shorten the name even more, and they will simply proclaim: ‘The Big-O”

Here are some of the classic Syracuse Orangemen uniforms vs. the new ones:

Nike go back to making real basketball gear, like the ‘Air Flight Lights’ circa 1990. You remember, the lightest basketball shoe ever made? I loved those things.
