šŸ€ UVa Men’s Basketball - February 2024

What assists did statisticians give back then is maybe the better question

We were not afraid to speed things up, thats for sure

Dead horse at this point, but one that ought to be beat still. Even from a revenue perspective, look at any crowd at JPJ - way more of the old style jerseys despite less availability for a couple of years now. No way I would ever spend a dime on or wear the contemporary jerseys over any other jersey (men’s or women’s) sold or worn by Virginia at any point. Look up uninspiring in a dictionary and you’ll see a pic of our current unis. Anyone w any access to a person w Bennett & staffs ear needs to continue to pound this drum.

You realize that no matter how much you beat the dead horse, it never comes back to life, right?

Spoken like someone who gave up 50 beatings before their horse revived.

@XHoo new uniforms this off season, right?

where does one buy authentic UVA basketball jerseys? You used to be able to get game shorts, jerseys, jackets, shooting shirts, etc. but when you go to the old store its a ā€œFanaticsā€ page now. They don’t seem to have any of that anymore.

Those of us who hate the current uniforms are epistemologically justified and righteous in our continuous beatings of said dead horse.

Tony’s never been asked once in a coaches corner or press conference about doing a throwback alternate jersey or in changing the uniforms. He’s probably never heard the criticism. And for those that say it’s not up to him, he could get a throwback jersey in a day if he wanted it

God willing! I’m unclear on the production time needed though. Really hoping we get an update this spring.

I can think of no concern more meaningless than that of Virginia’s current uniforms. There’s nothing wrong with them. If someone doesn’t like them, then that’s a question of taste. That’s okay. If they continuously harp on them, then that suggests that they have a seriously maladjusted set of priorities.

@73CAV thank you for that comment. I have now been cured. The sickness that existed inside of me, yearning for different jerseys is now eradicated. Thank you, you kindred spirit.

I’ve bought several game worn jerseys on eBay from a user called UVANILSUX.

I dunno, they look and smell game worn.

I hate these jerseys, and I’ll never stop saying it! Nobody can stop me.

I bet he’s heard it. JWilly answered a Q about this on his show once and seemed to be pro-alternates, but if I recall correctly, suggested that TB was an old-school ā€œhome and away onlyā€ guy about jerseys.

I’m not looking for game worn stuff, just actual UVA stuff. Like repliica stuff.

In all seriousness, this isn’t some trite talking point, and pointing it out doesn’t distract from the ā€œmore serious priorities.ā€ From the men’s uniforms to the Cav man logo, a fan base should make itself heard in these regards. There is such a thing as objectively bad taste, and I’d also be curious how merchandise sales are affected, or how they could be better maximized with better branding. Brand matters :man_shrugging:t2:

No one spends more time posting on a message board about how meaningless posting on a message board is than good ol’ @73CAV

No. It is, in fact, a trite talking point!

As someone who doesn’t have a strong opinion one way or another about the new jerseys, I can tell you that the fan base absolutely makes itself heard. There is A LOT of public conversation about this I see all the time.

I can also tell you that the best way to make yourself heard is not on a message board. I know this because I asked my wife if she liked the joke I posted on the message boards the other day and she walked out of the house.
