Northwestern has unveiled their special “By The Players” Senior Day uniform. This marks the third time in program history that Northwestern basketball has created these special 'By The Players' uniforms. The tradition has allowed each senior class to meet with UA representatives to help design the uniform they will wear on their Senior Day. This year’s uniform was inspired by the 1990’s NBA uniforms, the decade in which the players fell in love with the game of basketball. The uniform features a new Wildcat logo that is in line with the look of the 90s. We see on the shorts and shooting shirt that the Wildcat is featured prominently. The trim of the jersey features the Chicago Star as well as ‘NU’ and ‘PTR’ to reference the team’s motto “Pound The Rock”. On the shooting shirts we see the word Brothers’ in the nameplate area with every team member's name behind it. Northwestern has found a great way to celebrate their seniors and allow them to be a part of the design process.
Oregon’s Women’s Basketball team received a special pair of kicks designed by Tinker Hatfield himself. Each player got a pair of the exclusive Air Jordan 6s as they prepare for the post season. The crispy white Jordan 6s are accented with black and Oregon’s neon green. To take the Oregon branding a step farther on the back heal we see the Oregon wing pattern as well as the Oregon O on the sides of the shoes.
March Madness is set to begin and with the tournament comes special gear for the teams. Jordan schools have been given exclusive Why Not? Zer0.2 and Air Jordan 4 for each of their players. We see each pair of shoes in the school colorway with special tongue tags that feature the schools logo.

"They were magical," Wildcat alum Chuckie Williams said of the two-tone uniforms. "They were different because back then uniforms were the standard school colors, basically, all across the country. They were different, that's for sure, and they did grab attention. I thought they were great. We loved them."

To create the shoes they enlisted the help of the Shoe Surgeon to create six unique pairs of kicks. The Air Jordan 1s feature authentic jerseys and game-used nets. The tongue tag features the Warriors logo with their motto “Strength in Numbers” stamped on the side. Down the back of the shoe lists out each year the team has won the NBA Championship. The shoes come in the Warriors Blue and Gold colors and have the game-used nets as the laces. To finish the look the shoes have gum sole inspired by the hardwood basketball court
