We’re probably at a point where we can lay off of the denim nostalgia pieces.

That sign is ok…but it should be in UK blue .

I've assumed we'll wear the jerseys at some point.

As a sucker for throwbacks, I'd be for it. I even liked the infamous grays we wore that time against Michigan St., the ones with the belt.

[DA#23]

I think we will, and I’m ok with that if the team is excellent.

But I just think that signage, etc ought to be in our royal blue.

I also wish we hadn’t lightened the blue over the years, but that’s a different topic.

[DA#23]

As for the sign and the sentiment, I do think that’s very important. The staff continues to stress program, winning, and the present over individual futures…while also supporting the individual after their time here is complete.

I like their balance. Cal pulled it off early in his time, but then went 110% individual achievement later on.

I don't really care what signs they hang up in the Craft center.

Just win.

[Mr.Nezzer]

I like the sign!
Don't know about bringing back the denims tho

It depends on which year you are talking about. I didn't like the light blue of the Brooks era (UK lies and says it wasn't different) I like what we have now. I like some of the dark blue we had in the 60s like Dan Issel's uniform, but during my childhood, I did not care for the really royal blue iterations that would sometimes appear.

In basketball for example, I think the blue of say 1998 is darker than what we had by 2006.

I think 2006 is the "royal blue".

It was sometime around 06 that Nike desaturated the blue and made it less intense. The color presentation has always been a mixed bag. Once I got used to looking at it I don't mind the current (less desaturated) or 06ish Nike colors.

Those UK 90s colors were all over the map in every sport. The institution on the academic side stuck with something they now call "midnight blue" Hex #1B365D, which is now an "approved secondary color".

UF has the WORST version of royal blue. It makes me want to vomit every time I see it. (works for them I guess)

[EKYCat]

Bring back the denims! I loved them. Plus they won a National Title in them. Heck, give me Converse too while we're at it!

[DA#23]

Roger Harden approves.

[Catsrock]

I just like the message of the above sign. #9 is truly the goal now. The color should be called “barely blue.”

Other changes inside Craft, including an all-time wins counter.

I kind of think the "assignment" thing is starting to get worn out.
