Are these throwbacks or a new look?

Will the numbers be easy to see from nosebleed seats at the NCAA?  Assume away units are yellow?

Great "less is more" look!  Best uni's I've seen in my 25 years following men's basketball.

If we're wearing white uniforms at the NCAA Tournament, I don't think any of us will care how legible or illegible the numbers are.

We haven't seen "Valparaiso" on the front of the uniform since 1987.

The top portion might be, but I doubt anyone would ever wear the throwback shorts of the early Larry Bird years.

I also like the clean look, but wish the name of the university was a bit easier to read.  Could be difficult lettering to pickup to the sports surfer scanning TV games and during clips on Sports Center, etc.

Think they could use a bit of darker (black or brown) trim here and there to make them a little more readable.

Aside from that, love them. Wish more teams went with the cursive motif

It is not a throw back with out the 1969 Shorts!!!  ;D

Nobody reads cursive anymore.  If they want to reach a younger fan base they should've went with the Crusader Emoji.  But seriously, I like the new look!
