Personally I can't believe nike would stop making these. They may not sell tons but I imagine they sell more than jerseys and the margins are big enough they wouldn't need to sell many

Nike/Arizona released their new uniforms for 14-15, I'm guessing these means a ton of schools are going to be getting new designs over the next two seasons as Nike transitions everyone to "Nike Elite Fit 2.0" uniforms.
Who knows if they'll release in stores.

More info from what I read... 600 is the magic number, Nike will only make authentic shorts (or a jersey) for CBB teams if there's an order of 600+ (per jersey and per short). I don't know if this is their new policy or what because in years past it wasn't uncommon for a top school to have 2-3 player jerseys made each year. I remember UConn in 2004 you could buy a Nike Swingman jersey of Ben Gordon, Emeka Okafor, Charlie Villanueva and Rashad Anderson. Four fricken players in one season!
Anyway, I guess Nike didn't meet that quota with retailers and schools. Hard to believe there aren't 600 people in the entire country that purchase Duke, UNC, etc authentic shorts but at the same time, as we discussed, are those fans going to pay $80 for the new, flimsy HE shorts that have pockets? Probably not. Nike obviously thought adding pockets would improve sales, they wouldn't do it otherwise. Lastly they're too long for most people. I'm 6'8" so I can't complain about the size but if I was a regular dude there's no way I could wear these shorts. They should make a Tall and Regular version of the shorts. Tall remains at ~25" outseam and Regular can be ~21".
- Go back to a $60 price tag
- Lose the pockets
- Make it of a thicker material
- More (shorter) sizing options

Why would you lose the pockets? It doesn't bother me when I hoop and there's more utility in it than any disadvantages to having them

Would definitely prefer a shorter version.
I'm 6'10 and I like the shorts to be slightly above my knee and even these size small are still a little big on my 145lb frame.

UConn moving to a modern take on their classic 1990's uniforms. Not sure if it's a throwback or their full time uniform. Either way I absolutely love it.

Yea they really need to adjust the height, I have the FSU pair and they are too long. Im 6'3 and got a L and they go below my knees. I don't even like wearing them casually, idk how anyone can play in these.

Just got back to the OG everything.Nike/Arizona released their new uniforms for 14-15, I'm guessing these means a ton of schools are going to be getting new designs over the next two seasons as Nike transitions everyone to "Nike Elite Fit 2.0" uniforms.

This year's version of replica shirts has shown up on my school's website. $60 version not $80. Fingers crossed the $80 version appears soon.

Looks like Nike will be again releasing $80 authentic game shorts -- pockets again which are weak but love some of these new designs.

Good to see. Wanted those green Oregons two years ago but might pass since they have pockets.
I'll definitely spring for both the home/away UConns once they're available, and once they're on sale for at least $20 off.

I normally have worn xl in these. Got Large in this year's model for a pair of the replicas and they are just as long as past XLs but much slimmer. Almost like kapris. Smh.
