I know where your going GKiller and I have suggested this before - but again, it would take money. I think it would be awesome on both men and womens side. Have a throwback game. Spiders where retro jerseys - which could be auctioned off after the game to raise money for charity or worn again. Music is from the decade of the jerseys selected. Ask fans to dress up and maybe have a contest, including students. So if it was an 80's theme - wear your best 80's outfit. Have a contest - pull a few people on the court, have crowd decide. Have trivia from that decade throughout the game - some just pop culture, some UR hoops related, etc. Maybe have a dance contest to music at one point, etc. So much you could do - its almost too easy. Maybe bring back a few players, if possible - from teams from that decade or era. So if 80's theme - see if you could 2-3 players to come back for the game to celebrate

But again - this would require UR to purchase uniforms for the occasion. Costs money.

For the men this year would have been a perfect tribute to Beckwith. Have a game where they wear a jersey from one of his teams to honor him - auction off jerseys to donate to Beckwith Fund.

Yes, I agree a retro game with old uni's and 80s night for the crowd would be great and overdue. I don't think it would cost much $ either. We already have what 3 uniforms for men, add a 4th, or replace the bad red ones. Giving away free t shirts for all actually cost a lot more. Maybe u can do that one time a year idk, but it's decent hit to budget when we're paying players now. But if we have this surplus of T shirts at the RC just cannonball out some of those bad boys during game.

Hopefully the parents told the kids they were lucky and got the better shirts

Speak for yourself Trap. 98-99? Gimme. That’s close to the mother lode. Unless they have some 80s shirts from the best decade. I’d buy a ticket to this basement closet over the game itself. What else down there? It’s a marketing fail because they should be announcing they r shooting out these shirts in advance. It would sell more tix. Have u ever seen those crazy adult A holes who take a ball or puck from a kid at a game. I might have to bulldoze a 7 year old girl for a retro T.

I'm with you, a pile of vintage T-shirts definitely gets my attention. I would actually pay attention to the shirt cannon crew if I knew those were going out.

Loudest section gets shot at the vintage T’s. But during the actual game part not during the timeout part right b4 shooting them into crowd. U would get the red sweaters & near red sweaters off their feet. We should never complain about old T’s just figure out how to much better maximize.

Even better, loudest section gets the vintage T's and one lucky person will receive a shirt autographed by a player from that era!

To me it’s worth the extra cost to pay for cheap shirts to help enhance the overall atmosphere. It wasn’t done for the men’s game yesterday either. Personally, I think it would be a nice touch from the university to supply the shirts of the “insert color out” that they want to promote.

Usually some business supplies the shirts with their logos on the back. This requires preplanning.
