SEC Announces Men's Basketball Throwback Program for 2006 Season
10/26/2005

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Southeastern Conference has announced the development of a "Throwback Uniform" program for the upcoming 2006 men's basketball season. Each SEC member school designated a previous year's uniform as its throwback uniform to use in association with the program. Each of the twelve SEC institutions had produced and will wear a home and away version of the throwback uniform.

The SEC along with the Collegiate Licensing Company has developed the program with input from the manufacturer working with each SEC member institution, including Adidas, Nike and Russell Athletics. The two primary components of the program are as follows:

Regular Season
The week of February 18-26 (Saturday through Sunday) has been designated as "SEC Throwback Week". A complete schedule of the games, in which the throwback uniforms will be worn follows. During the SEC Throwback Week, 14 of the 18 games will be televised by one of the SEC's television partners.

SEC Tournament
The specially-designed uniforms will be worn for all games of the 2006 SEC Men's Basketball Tournament, March 9-12 in Nashville, Tennessee. The "throwback" theme has been incorporated into many aspects of the SEC Tournament, including the Official Tournament logo and court design.

I think it's all stupid and represents the thuggish attire that is popular....doesn't represent the appearance of what a student athlete should be...granted we are talking basketball but still

Unles of course they make em wear short tight short and the sizes that fit and all...that could be funny!!! But, they won't, they'll look like a thug rapper NBA player wearing what is supposed to be a throwback, but is actually a throwback design on a baggy saggin' thug outfit from some Urban Fashion store in Atlanta!

GET OFF YOUR SOAPBOX CAMLOCK!
