Best unis in a minute!
First of all… should tonight’s game even be played? Probably not. I can’t really see how it’s a good idea at any level—it’s an unnecessary game that means nothing in the long run, the students are on break, and above all else it seems like an enormous safety hazard to expect paying customers to attend it—but they’re insistent on playing it for some reason, so here we are. Basketball! It’s the most prestigious university in the U.S. versus the most prestigious university located on the Kansas River. My opinion means nothing!
Speaking of opinions… the new unis are nice!
I’m less over-the-moon than most of KU hoops Twitter, but yes, nice! The bar has been set low. I love gray—I am someone who wears gray-on-gray like I was an Off-White intern in 2016, but for some reason this specific shade is throwing me a little? I wish it was just white, and we could clear out the closet and make these the permanent home uniforms. I am sure there are myriad bad reasons we cannot do this, but c’mon, we got the circus font! Some nice details on the shorts, although I despise that venting that three stripes loves to slap on there. This gold buckle is nice!
This little badge should be a natty reference imo but hey, we can’t have it all. Good enough, a solid 8.0.
Now that I’ve decried the fact that the game is being played as schedule, it’s the perfect moment to plug the chat we’ve got rolling in the Substack app. Join the sickos and let’s talk Hawks!
I still have some Streak Talk magnets avail… holler if you want one by replying directly to this email with your address! Stay warm out there Streakers and bring those pets inside!
