Holding out hope that the team will decide to go to the throwbacks as their regular home set. They look great, plus I can't stand their current home whites. Tired design with unimaginative, huge Cal script in the center. Pass.

I like the throwbacks as well. Never have been a fan of the Cal script for unis. And I'm definitely not a fan of the sather stripe trim that makes the shorts look like they have pockets.

Does that make it easier to pick players' pockets?

Agree. "CALIFORNIA" definitely looks better than CAL, and classier.

The Sather Gate icon is a lazy graphic design. Such an overused image.

Home unis should have mascot name on them. We know we are from California. The other team knows they are visiting California. We're the Golden Bears!

California is for road unis. So clueless home fans can look up from their smart phones and see California on our chests and know who is going to beat them.

not sure who handles merchandise for Cal, but it was a HUGE mistake and missed opportunity not to make these throwbacks available for sale. I've been extremely disappointed with the offering on Calbears.com.

Regarding the uniforms, i hope we get a total revamp for next year. having just the Cal script on the uniforms is fine for an alternate, but not as a primary. And if they insist on using the sather stripe, at least use it in a creative way. The shorts this year look terrible.

I think with their throwback unis, Cal wins that game by 5 in regulation. I had a teammate who used to say Bill Russell's Celtics black low-cut Converse All-Star shoes cost the Celtics about 4 points per game. They should have worn white shoes, like the rest of the NBA at the time, he thought.

Script is for calligraphers and throwback warmup jackets, not unis. Script isn't even taught in school any more, and so only Alumni fans will be able to read the writing. Cal student fans won't be able to tell which team is Cal, from looking at the script on the unis. I say toss'em, and go with the '59 throwbacks, with the word, "BEARS" in block letters over the player's number. That was an intimidating, in your face, uni.
