dress code for basketball


Mar 20, 2023, 6:53 PM

Why do our basketball coaches rarely wear orange, white, or purple?
Coaches are in black tonight, white tiger paw.....

Remember Joe Williams? He was Furman’s basketball coach back in the ‘70s. He wore these neon purple leisure suits with the flared bell bottom pants and huge side pockets.

He had a great player called Clyde Mayes. He ultimately became Furman’s winningest BB coach.

Maybe we should put our guys in bright purple leisure suits for road games and orange ones for home games.

I suspect it's a manufacturer marketing ploy

It's cheaper to make all of the uniforms in the same colors.

What difference does it make at a basketball game?

They can make a bunch of black tops and sew various logos

on it for all the teams.

Same with the grey unis that all the teams seem to have now.

Capitalism baby

You should look around the country at other programs.

Everyone is doing this. Black, grey, Pastel, etc outside of the team colors.

Don't know why, but it ain't just Clemson....

Exactly.

Don't get it, but also think it's funny folks think this is a Clemson thing.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

What the Clemson athletic dept should do is make it NOT a Clemson thing!

There are enough combinations of orange, purple and white to make any other color unnecessary!! Those grey bball unis were terrible and that baby blue/lavender thing the coaches wore a couple times was even worse!!

TV cameras have a great affect on the colors that you see at home! I’m sure you think that this isn’t true… but it is!

I was wondering about that with the baby blue outfits. We know that ABC/ESPN cameras can turn our purple football jerseys into Gator blue.

yes, we know it's true. So should our coaches, administrators and marketing people. Far more people see them on TV than in person. The first time they wore them - and they clearly appeared UNC blue on tv - they should have been retired.
