Syracuse unveils new gray uniforms in an attempt to make its players look less like inmates. Unclear whether Syracuse will change nickname to "The Gray" as well.
Here’s the link to Troy Nunes’ report on the new uniforms. Just an FYI, this isn’t going over well with the Syracuse fanbase. Luckily, SU is just wearing the uniform just once, against South Florida, Feb. 22.
They’re f#cking gray! Aside from the whole thing about our biggest rival…they’re f#cking gray! We’re a team named after a color…and it’s NOT f@cking GRAY!
Their best argument is that they’re a team named after a color, LOL.
Homeslice...you can brag all you want about having a good team this year...
And let’s be honest, that’s all that matters when you have two fan bases that hate each other like we do…but don’t go there in terms of G’town/Cuse off of the court. It’s impossible for an alum of that school to have any kind of pride about what your “student-athletes” have done off of the court/field over the last 10 years. Come on now. Maybe it has little effect on wins and losses…..oh who am I kidding? Your football team sucks and your hoops team is a perennial underachiever. Congrats on the 20-0 start though!
I don't spend my time on your blog talking about how great we are
Like you guys do all the time here. I know where we trade, it’s why you don’t hear me chirping like your fans do non-stop. I’ll take losing in the first round the last couple of years with good kids than losing in the first or second round like you guys do every year with criminals, but that’s just me.
1. Our players got in a fight with MEN
2. Those MEN attacked our guys first
3. Those MEN were army-trained
We know it’s hard to imagine the Orange being in such a situation, so maybe take out the Chinese basketball team and put in their women’s gymnastics team…does that help?

Yes, it will be fascinating to see how those new rivalries develop...
Seeing as both of the schools you referenced are joining the Big East for football only (and Georgetown’s football team competes in the Patriot League)
Nunes' Keely there...

remember a few years ago when we did the 25th anniversary Jordan uni's
Against Notre Dame I think? They were silver…I think we got blown out by like 30?
That worked out well. Hope the same thing happens here.
brandonbowmansfootistoobig - January 25, 2012
shiny
CasualHoya - January 25, 2012
That uniform is lamé
Which I believe is French for lame.

That uniform make me want to listen to techno music while wearing neon green glow stick earings
Hot Gahhbage

Every time I think I can't hate Syracuse any more than I already do ...
They do something that proves me wrong.

but oh-so-rarely about a topic we can agree on…
Hoya Saxual - January 25, 2012
From a Walrus79 at Nunes:

HoyaSmacksYa - January 25, 2012
'Cuse in gray
Fantabulous.
JTBHoya - January 25, 2012
The irony is they aren't - na matter what they say
They are named after a Protestant political movement engaged in Catholic oppression.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Order#United_States
(All three New York/Irish Grandparents hated them with a passion for this reason.)
Anything else is delusion and lies.
PerryMcDonald'sRightCross - January 25, 2012
As much as I would like to think of this as another reason to hate them
I’m pretty sure it’s not actually true.
DHB Enterprises - January 25, 2012
It's
the big lie theory at work. If they deny it long and hard enough then people will come to believe it.
Hate them we must.
PerryMcDonald'sRightCross - January 25, 2012
I find particularly amusing
The serious discussions about whether the orange parts are “orange enough.” So glad we don’t have a color that hideous.
DHB Enterprises - January 25, 2012
or a fanbase that hideous, for that matter
CasualHoya - January 25, 2012
or live in a city that hideous
onceahoya - January 25, 2012
The uniforms are hideous...
…but since we are and “elite” program we get them and you don’t. Go Orange.
jimmiejones - January 25, 2012
We've been elite for years
and Jumpmen and you aren’t. HOYA SAXA!
iheartgregmonroe - January 25, 2012
Jumpmen???
You folks sure do love Jordan.
Boscoball - January 25, 2012
But not "and" elite student, obviously
brandonbowmansfootistoobig - January 25, 2012
Oh, sure
Elite like Arizona, currently 6th in a PAC-12 that might get one NCAA bid.
HoyaJoker07 - January 25, 2012
I think that's why he put elite in quotes
To imply that they are not actually elite, despite the ultra mega platinum….whatever…new uniforms.
J-Wall's Mom's Broom - January 25, 2012
Ah, fair enough
HoyaJoker07 - January 25, 2012
I prefer CBS's take
That you all got duped.
HoyaJoker07 - January 25, 2012
don't sell yourselves short
you’re a “Nike Hyper Elite Platinum” program
jackemupkid - January 25, 2012
This as much an honor as
being listed in Who’s Who Among American High School Students.
HoyaJoker07 - January 25, 2012
You call us inmates...
Yet you guys are the ones who brawled overseas?
SpartyCuse - January 25, 2012
but we havent had 7 players accused of assaulting females in the last decade
Hire Esherick - January 25, 2012
and we dont cook meth in our dorms.
SpartyCuse - January 25, 2012
Oh, so we're going from the team to anyone affliated?
Sounds good.
I’m confused, is assaulting women taught as a class or something?
HoyaJoker07 - January 25, 2012
yikes
SpartyCuse just opened up a can of worms by bringing up anyone affiliated.
we’re too classy here to bring up former associate head coaches though.
Hire Esherick - January 25, 2012
theres smoke, but no fire there.....
just two adult men having an affair.

How about you try actually beating

remarkable how many cuse fans consistently troll this blog

what is "ASSULATING"?
onceahoya - January 25, 2012
probably the act involved in a sub-genre of mascot porn
that has a strong cult following among syracuse fans
Hoya Saxual - January 25, 2012
dont forget about the football team either!
Exhibit A and Exhibit B
Classy program up there
Hire Esherick - January 25, 2012
We'll own that one
It was amazing. We finally have a notable applied science program.
KeepItSaxa - January 25, 2012
Mmm, interesting.
Allow me a few points
1. Our players got in a fight with MEN
2. Those MEN attacked our guys first
3. Those MEN were army-trained
We know it’s hard to imagine the Orange being in such a situation, so maybe take out the Chinese basketball team and put in their women’s gymnastics team…does that help?

i like the defensive posts from cuse fans
contending that gtown isnt relevant and uconn is their true rival. pathetic cuse fans, as per the norm.
hope they enjoy their new rivalries against georgia tech and wake forest
Hire Esherick - January 25, 2012
No, Georgetown in the rivalry
although UConn is much more relevant. We’ll enjoy our new rivalries, hope you enjoy San Diego St. and Navy basketball.

Yes, it will be fascinating to see how those new rivalries develop...

cuse fans dont let facts get in the way of their thoughts!
we’ll still have uconn, louisville, marquette, st johns, notre dame and nova.

You just gave Fab Melo the answers to his take-home final.
