Uh oh. Someone posted a video leaking the Cincinnati Bearcats’ Under Armour basketball uniforms. The official reveal is expected later today but the leaked video has been taken down.
Thankfully pirates Thane Stephen and Jeff Gentil snagged a few snapshots while they could.

I’m going to summarize my reaction in one word; fine. That’s it. They’re not outlandish like some of the uniforms Adidas shoved down our throats for years and at the same time they’re not too plain. They’re “OK”.
But they don’t need to be anything more than that. UC basketball speaks for itself and the Bearcats can look great winning boatloads of games even if they’re wearing potato sacks. Under Armour’s jerseys, like on the football side, are clean and crisp with just the right designs in just the right places. Although I could do without the stripes around the front of the knees but what can you do? Overall, I like them, and am curious to see what they look like in a live game.
10.16.2015 Update: UC’s made the official announcement about the basketball uniforms and my stance on them remains the same.
