I disagree…I see NCAA teams at all levels in “uniform” when it comes to shoes and everything else. If it is mandated by the AD and the coach the players will conform. As far as I’m concerned it’s a form of team discipline…we are one unit, play as one team. That’s why we wear the same uniform. This is just another area where the whole generational idea of “I should be able to do whatever makes me happy” has gone too far. I totally agree with you 👍. I didn't want to say it , and glad you did . That is on the HC to set the dress code and the AD to cosign and have his back . When They don't this is what you get in football and basketball and baseball , T&F and Bowling I give a pass 😆 I get in trouble all the time because I'm just the guy that's gonna say it.  It is without a doubt a "generational" thing. The HR department at my job stays busy trying to "coach" these young people on what they can and can't wear to work...the type of schedules they must keep...and how to interact with other employees. Folk just not gonna do like you do, or agree with the things you agree with...so it's best to keep that stuff at home and out of the work place. Women coming to work half naked, men looking like they just rolled out of bed and then walked from their bedrooms and into the office. Folk wanting to bring pets to work for "emotional support", or because their animal have a hard time adjusting to being alone. People that can't understand that you have to keep religion and politics out of the office to avoid conflict. Now you got LGBTQ issues...it's a mess. My current job isn't that bad. The LGBTQ people use the restrooms based on their "birth" gender, but honestly...if they didn't it probably wouldn't be a problem. Now I did have a position at a company where it was an issue. A transgender woman wanted to use the ladies restroom and the women in the office didn't like that at all. It was a hard pill to swallow for many of them because before he started his transition the man had worked as a man for several years...then came to work one day and wanted to be a woman and be treated as such. Now this "I have to do what makes me happy" thing got basketball players wearing red shoes and socks when their school colors are Blue and Gold...and we just supposed to over look it and say it's normal and OK...just because he wants to do that. Heck, at my daughters middle school the kids on the basketball team wear the shoes they want, or what they can based on what they can afford...but the kids that get an option try to match school colors, or wear something neutral. Their t-shirts however must be white, and the school provides jerseys and matching socks...and requires the ladies uniforms to be neat and tucked, and that's middle school. Then we got grown men in college doing whatever feels good. |

You right Roy. This is a different day from when the entire team wore white "Chucks". I don't fault the coach or AD because it is a sign of the times. Every college team I see on tv the players have different color shoes on. As you know the pros all wear different color shoes. To be truthful they could be wearing different colored "PF Flyers" as long as they win. That is what counts. We have mo serious problems than the colored shoes the players wear. Haven't really paid attention to the color or uniformity of the lady shoes. Our women shoe colors are mostly uniform . Personally I prefer the uniform look in shoe wear especially at the Middle school, High School and college levels. All of those clashing color shoes just look tacky to me . |

I agree Saab. I have never liked the different color shoes because to me it is not uniformity. But, I guess it is the new look era and promotions and NIL that has created this new look. Also, the pros have been wearing different color shoes for years that don't match the uniforms.
Hate it but stuff change.

It appears Kam has red briefs under has shorts or is that imperfections in the photo. Also, I am not sure the schools are helping when they chose to go down the path of wearing uniforms with colors that are not the school's official colors. I don't like how schools wear pink uniforms in football and basketball to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness. Accessories fine, but uniforms no.
Again, its not my call or responsibility, so I have accepted it as long as it does not represent selfishness.

We have a YMCA Coach right now he has no standards.. This seems like an issue the Athletic Director could easily solve. It should never get to the AD's office. The HC should be able to set the standards address for his team . |

Different shoes ain't nuthin' new. Seems, these days, I see more teams with players wearing different shoes than teams with players wearing the same shoes. That said, the Lady Aggies wear the same shoes. As far as I can tell. The Lady Aggies also have a real DI coach! |

Do the football players wear different colored shoes? Yep. See one of my most favorite videos: youtu.be/85_cifLDFsoAnd it looks like E. Bell the Goat even has different cleats on each foot (one gray & one yellow). Note: What E. Bell did ain't nuthin' new. We did it when I was a kid. |

Are you sayin all of the other D1 coaches, who's teams don't wear the same shoes, aren't "real D1" coaches? And to be clear, I like wearing the same shoes/uniforms better. |

I know that some schools give kids many pairs of sneakers in different styles and colors. My son probably got 5-10 pair of shoes per year when he played. I'm still wearing shoes he gave me from freshman year in 2018..lol

It is without a doubt a "generational" thing.
