Favorite Duke Uniforms?

[BlueDevilBrowns]

What's everyone's favorite Duke basketball uniforms of all time?

My favorites are the late-90's unis with the "traditional" white and blue unis and the alternate black uniforms.

Definitely prefer those blue and white ones over the current ones. They looked more sleek

The ones we wear when we win games, especially championships.

i loved the new gray uniforms.

[dukebsbll14]

I like 'em all. Except the ones from this year. The smaller Duke looked kind of weird and I miss the ball plus hoop on the shorts. I'd probably go with the 04-05 ones as my favorite overall.

The black jerseys definitely hit their prime in the 04ish to 08 years with the name in white on the back. 4k1tm1bkuj8xb1u1.jpg

Word to the OP.

Mine are the ones that are our actual dang school colors.

Championships are not caused by uniforms.

Agreed

Call me an old fart, but I still rue the day that black was introduced, and would note that of the traditional Top 6 programs - Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas, Indiana and UCLA - we are the only ones who have incorporated black in a meaningful way or make a regular practice of wearing our "alternative uniforms".

Agreed. I don't like the black. I love the old blue with the white trim.

I love the black. I just want it the way we had it from 2000-2004: home jerseys white and blue, road jerseys blue and white, and the alternate being the only time we see black. And never wear the blacks when we play UNC.

until this year, we hadn't won at UNC wearing the blue jerseys since...2004? Come to think of it, our record in the Dean Dome has been abysmal since we got the blue/black regular away jerseys. Bring back the blue and whites!

Fun facts of the day.

Didn't care for these jerserys, complete with the "We aren't gonna win crap" commemorative stripes over the shoulders.

That's right...that's our first time winning in the blue/black at the Dean Dome. In 2004 (my senior year), we had on blue/white:

Your memory is really bad on this one. Duke has owned the Nose Dome since 1999.

Duke Wins: (9)
1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012

Duke Losses: (5)
2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011

That's 9 out of 14, and UNC has not won 2 in a row at home against Duke since 1998, while Duke won 4 in a row at Chapel Hill. (Everyone remembers Hansbro winning 4 in a row in CIS, but no one ever remembers the Duke success at the dome)

They never should have left Carmichael. But they needed a bigger wine cellar, so . . .

I guess we should be referring to that dome as the K mart.

I was referring specifically to when we wore the main blue/black road unis. What year did we switch to those ones? I know we wore the old school blue/white ones in 2004, but I don't know when we dropped those ones for good.

In the wins since 1999:
-00, 01, 06, 08, 10, we wore black alternates.
-04 we wore blue/white.
-12 wore blue/black regular roads. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this may have been the only year we've won in CHill wearing those. It's the only time I can remember.

In the losses:
-05, 07, 09, 11 wore blues/black regular road. 03 wore black alternate.

Can't find what we wore in 1999 or 2002.

Uniform doesn't matter, but I dunno, it's a cool random fact to look at in the offseason.
