The 2016 Made in March collection is constructed with dual-color contrasts along the jersey collar and short hem and features terrycloth team logos on the short for sweat management during the game’s biggest moments. The design of each short’s waistband pays tribute to the school’s fans, rich tradition and team pride.
Arizona State University:
Designed in Sun Devil maroon, gold and white team colors the tonal sunbeam print along the waistband is a nod to the iconic Arizona desert sunrise.
UCLA:
As a tribute to John Wooden, UCLA’s winningest coach, and his “Pyramid of Success” that ultimately led to competitive greatness, the Bruins’ short displays a tonal pyramid pattern on the waistband.
Texas A&M:
Drawing on the history of the Lone Star State, the Aggies’ uniforms feature a tonal star print pattern along the waistband.
University of Nebraska:
The Cornhuskers’ shorts display the iconic voltage print used on the team’s warm-ups during Nebraska’s most successful run in the 90s.
NC State University:
The Wolfpack’s uniform is done up in NC State red and white with a wolf claw mark print along the side of the short.
Mississippi State University:
Inspired by the Bulldogs’ iconic “Banner” logo introduced in 2004, the new look incorporates a tonal banner stripe along the short’s waistband.
University of Miami:
Inspired by the weather symbol used to denote hurricanes, Miami’s shorts showcase a hurricane cut style print.
University of Kansas:
Paying homage to the loudest arena in college hoops and the Rock Chalk faithful, the Jayhawks’ shorts feature a soundwave pattern as a nod to Allen Fieldhouse’s unparalleled home-court advantage.
Indiana University:
Building on its classic look, the Hoosiers will don a tonal ‘Victory Red’ and white pattern along the waistband inspired by the candy-striped warm-ups made famous in the early 70s by legendary head coach Bob Knight and the championship banners that hang in Assembly Hall. The back of the shorts also honor the team’s five national titles with five embroidered stars.
