K-State Dispatches FAMU, 96-57, Debuts Lavendar Unis

At some point, I'll find a better photo of the new lavendar jerseys and bring it your way, but for now you get Denis Clements sporting the two-tones.  I'm not entirely sure about the two-tone look, even though I know it's a nod to the history of K-State basketball and the uniforms worn during the glory days under Jack Hartman.  Maybe they'll break out the all-lavendar look, which I think would be a double dose of awesome.

As mentioned, the Cats handled FAMU easily tonight.  The backcourt duo of Clemente and Jacob Pullen led the Cats, and Dominique Sutton had a nice game as well.  While this team doesn't have any players of Michael Beasley's or Bill Walker's caliber, I still have a feeling they're going to be a lot of fun to watch.

Go Cats!

No Lavender

For the love of god, no lavender. Worst. Idea. Ever. Period.

Agreed.

Those are awful. If they are going for a historical look then I’d love to see the original, but me no likey.

I like...

…the actual lavendar tops. The darker purple undershirt Clemente is wearing underneath makes it look worse than it really is. Here’s a link to Rolando Blackman on the cover of Sports Illustrated back in 1981, gives a pretty good idea what they looked like back in the day (short shorts!).

Oh, God...

It may take me days, if not weeks, to extinguish the sight of lavender on dark purple from my thoughts.

Disco

Those who lived through the disco era understand how the lavendar could have happened the first time. But, I’m not sure what would cause it to return now.

Gasps

Could anyone watching on TV or listening on the radio here the crowd gasp when they took off their warmups? It was fairly loud, followed by a few half-hearted cheers. I don’t think we will see those come out very often after the reaction.

I would have been a gasp-er

Followed by an extremely loud “Ughhh-sk”

Let me introduce you to my friends:

Ralph and Earl.
