The internet sleuths are at it again. A Nike Instagram account posted a picture of a Duke uniform that you can purchase, which largely or completely resembles the one that Duke wore at the PK80 tournament in 2017-18. Might this be a sneak-peak at one of the Final 4 designs we will see this year?
Duke basketball twitter put out a graphic on the new uniforms and also a suggestion that Duke may have up to six different uniforms this season, with some clues ahead of future reveals.
I loathe it. A lot. Too monochrome except for the dreaded scourge of black. The chevron side panels look like a Mario-Kart accelerator.
To reiterate, I hate this greatly.
Me, too. Didn't see any need to mess with perfection.

It looks almost exactly like the PK80 uniform with some slight differences. As far as I can tell, the main differences are that the slit in the shorts moved to the side and it lacks the usual American flag/ACC crest on the left collar.
I would like this better if the chevrons and Nike swoosh were white instead of black. Maybe it was just an errant post by Nike, selling a jersey from 2 seasons ago.
New uniform with gold trim. Not a huge fan...

Ugh. Gaudy and unnecessary.
Our school colors are blue and white, full stop. No gold, no black, no grey or putty or concrete or whatever that stuff is called.
Just ugh.
I'm definitely not a fan of these jersey reveals themselves. I get the slick social media videos look cool, but it's like they go out of their way to make it impossible to get a look at what the actual jersey itself looks like.
I'm guessing we see these debuted tonight? If so, I'm cautiously optimistic that they'll look good in actual basketball use.
Please bring back the traditional all grey uniform...
