I have to get my two cents in on these new alternate jerseys.  They are hideous.  They remind of those Starter jerseys that people bought at Wal-Mart in the late 90’s.  I will say that I do like the trim on them, but the shiny stuff just isn’t working.

The classic Pippen Starter throwback. Similar to the new unis.
Maybe this will turn into a good thing.  Back in high school, we had 5 different jerseys.  We had our whites, alternate whites, greens, reds, and a grey one.  By far, the ugliest one was the reds.  But, we did not lose in them.  Before Regionals we realized that we were 6-0 on the season in our reds.  So, we decided we were going to let the reds ride all the way through the postseason.  That year we made it to the Elite Eight.  We beat some pretty good teams in those bad boys. 

On a side note.  Players like Sherron Collins (Kansas), Jon Scheyer (Duke), Bobby Frazier (North Carolina), and other various D-1ers were there in state with us.  I believe Derrick Rose was eliminated in the Super-Sectionals.  It was a fun time but, we lost in the quarterfinals to a team we had beaten during the regular season.  Now that I have relived the high school glory days we can move on. 

Point is the ugly red jerseys took us all the way to state that year.  My hope is that these baby blues can be the Grizzlies’ lucky charm.
