I thought the same thing. Should be Pantone 287 and the color I see looks like it has been diluted with a few too many tears from down the road.

About a month back Nolan posted a picture via Twitter of the new uni's...well actually just the shorts and they do match the pic above

[moonpie23]

the color seems too light (blue)....

I thought the same thing. It looks just like Tarheel blue and not our beautiful Duke Blue.

You don't have to be color blind to know those Nike uniforms are NOT the right color. Box them up and send them to Recycle land or the land field.

Notice the change from black to white in the shorts panel. And the Nike catalog has the D logo with the basketball, the unis they wore in China did not. Guess we will find out Friday night. Less black on the unis is good for me!

It's not your monitor, it's the WRONG COLOR. Man, I really hope someone corrects that before we see that ugly pale shade on tv.

The 94 uniforms that you linked to were the best. I loved those uniforms. BYU actually used a copy of those uniforms two years ago, just with BYU Navy instead of Duke Blue.

Bring them back

If these are made available to the general public, I want you men to try and promise to wear them with long compressions underneath. I mean really.

Somehow the peep show side panels make me think of toga parties in the past and the mishaps the brothers sometimes had with their attire.

[PADukeMom]

Oh my...I'm speechless. Please tell me this is a Halloween joke. The new color looks like Carolina & Kentucky mixed together. Those side panels have got to be a joke. Horrible.

yes.

[wilko]

At least its not the UNITARD

I'm willing to bet it's just a lighting issue. If the uniforms have any sheen to them, they could easily reflect the flash or ambient light and end up looking like this garbage shade of blue that we're seeing in the photo. The designers couldn't possibly be that ignorant of the implications of the shade of blue here. At least let's hope not.

I suspect that the implication of greatest interest to the designers is making money.
