After the Great Zubaz Scandal of 2013, the standard for shock and awe and disgust has already been set for the world of UCLA alternate uniforms. We have seen the future, and it nearly blinded us.

So here is the newest UCLA alternate uniform, colorblocked according to the latest fashion trends. It will be worn briefly during the Pac-12 Tournament in two weeks, then stored away as all UCLA alternates always are. Adidas will tout the “lightweight, sweat-wicking technology” and “targeted ventilation zones.” When asked, players will respond with appropriate enthusiasm. Some fans will nod politely; others will wring their hands and grit their teeth.

The gyre of sporting couture whirls on.

UCLA will be wearing alternate jerseys when USC visits on Jan. 30.

From the school: “Designed and developed by adidas, the new all-blue uniforms feature solid color blocking of team logos, word marks and numbers with minimal accent color and shimmer finish for a bold on-court look. The uniform design is similar in spirit to those worn by select NBA teams on Christmas Day.”

The NBA Christmas jerseys drew mixed reactions, with many complaints about legibility. Five are featured in the video below, though it leaves out Houston’s awful gray uniforms.
