Should we beat the fruit at the Dome again next month, I think we will have earned the right to dress them up in anything we want.

Actually, most Boeheim parolees only get their Orange Jumpsuit after their eligibility is exhausted.

Schools with one color need a background color to set it against... not that much works with orange. Can't say it would bother me, though I'm amused at the reaction of cuse fans. I always thought that orange and navy were Syracuse's colors, but you are correct that the school has only one official color. However, Wikipedia shows the schools colors as being orange and navy, and notes that "blue" has traditionally been used in athletic uniforms. So theoretically, Syracuse wouldn't just be wearing gray. The Orangemen might be wearing Georgetown colors, with a splash of orange.

SU's football uniforms have been blue forever - at least until Nike completed their acquisition of the SU athletic department and gave them a pretty awful orange on orange alternate kit.

Good to see that John Wallace found work after his NBA career fizzled.

I find the content and particularly the title of this thread to be wrongheaded and beneath us.
Syracuse is, therefore I hate it. Reason(s) have nothing to do with it. To cite reasons is to distract from the entirety of its pathetic, miserable existence. It is a veritable forest of filth and I see no reason to distinguish the trees that make it up.

“This is going to be a one-game thing,” Jim Boeheim vowed. “That’s all. A one-game thing. We’re going to wear them once, and that’s it. And they’re platinum. They’re not gray. They’re platinum. This isn’t Georgetown.” “It’s not a Georgetown uniform,” Boeheim insisted again. “When you look at it, even though there’s a lot of gray, the orange -- our school color -- stands out. Nike asked if we’d wear the uniforms for one game. So I looked at them . . . and I thought they were sharp. www.syracuse.com/poliquin/index.ssf/2012/01/poliquin_look_again_says_jim_b.html

I wonder how long the Carrier Dome crowd could sustain a "We Are" "Not Georgetown" chant on the 22nd.

Classic.

That just cracked me up. They must be getting a ton of something ($$ or otherwise) from Nike.
Edit: Just read the article. They're not getting anything for this? I don't believe that for a second.
