The uniforms are part of a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Air Jordan brand at Nike.
The brand's namesake, Michael Jordan, played at North Carolina and won a championship with the Tar Heels in 1983.
Two other schools will also wear the Jordan Brand uniforms this week. California is scheduled to wear them in Thursday night's matchup vs. Arizona and Georgetown is slated to wear the uniforms Saturday when Notre Dame travels to Washington play the Hoyas.
Carolina fans seem to hate these things, although it might be influenced by the fact the Seminoles are laying waste to them right now. Although we might stand to make some Nike money off of these, the timing seems curious (why spend the last week of a critical regular season game marketing these things?).
Yay or nay on these jerseys?

The very first time I saw the Yellow Jerseys (on that sunny glorious day against Oregon) I was totally against them.
Then we pick off Dixon on the first play of the game. I now own a DeSean Jackson/Marvin Jones jersey.

This will be confusing at the 2012 Pac-900 Tournament.
Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti. "I treat Timmy differently from most pitchers: I leave him alone."
Bengie Molina: "I don't understand why they didn't want to commit to another year, with my numbers and my experience and things like that." Brain Sabean: "He's certainly welcomed back with open arms".
Mychael Urban: Wow. Probably Dye at this point. Good outfielder, could adapt to RF at AT&T, good RBI guy.
I don't want to jeopardize the game with these things
I know it sounds silly, but they ought to be practicing in them at least once so they get used to seeing them when they pass the ball !!!!!
I'd like to smell the Roses before I die.
I just scored a couple of redonkulous chairback seats tonight for the Arizona game! I feel like I won the lottery!
Included were some passes to the Haas Grill Room. Has anyone been in there before? Is it worth checking out?

One of the things I did when I was a student was work the cloak check at the Big Game Room prior to football games (where all the big money people hung out) They were eating finger food and talking Cal football. In there I met Brian and Julie Maxwell (founders of Powerbar), several members of the Haas, Hearst and Sather families, and some other really big names. The best part – as a student – we weren’t allowed to have a tip jar. But these old wealthy blues didn’t care – they would try to tip, we’d refuse and refuse and they’d say, ok, whoops I dropped a $20 bill and drop it into the room while we were busy ferrying coats back and forth.
Working with one other person we usually made out with $200 each.
It's spelled "C-A-N-Z-A-N-O-S-P-A-R-E-N-T-S-D-O-N-T-B-E-L-I-E-V-E-I-N-H-I-M"
I support Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.

Folks, we need a new uni contract. We buy Nike shit, we kind of fund the University of Oregon. Addidas is the NY Yankees contract, no?

Trust me….we have a sweet uni contract. Being one of three or four schools with the Jordan gear (I think it is just UNC, Georgetown, Us and maybe Cincinnati) helps us immensely in recruiting and perception. People from other parts of the country often tell me that they love Cal basketball uniforms – the Jordan stuff is the reason.

Oh great. Uncle Phil isn’t content with uglifying his beloved Duckies at every possible turn, now he’s forcing others to bend to his wishes.
This stunt, if nothing else, should be enough to cause our Ath Dept to look for a new uni contract. Uncle Phil (despite his fortune and ego), does not own us, and can not – or at least should not – dictate uni style, color, etc.
I mean, is he bored with making the Ducks look ridiculous?
All hail the new Cal Fighting Phils! We are now Nike’s bitch. The University of Nike, Berkeley.
God I hate them.
