As the Wisconsin basketball team’s tweet suggested, the last time Wisconsin donned Adidas’ special edition uniforms, they made it to the Final Four.
In addition to the updated jerseys, the team will be able to wear special edition Adidas shoes including D Lillard 1’s, J Wall 1’s and D Rose 5 Boosts.
Clean slate, clean shoes.

Big Ten Network’s Brent Yarina like them better than last year’s jerseys (I agree).

What do you think of the new March Madness uni’s?
We’ll likely see these jerseys in action March 19 or 20 when the 2015 NCAA Tournament gets underway. Selection Sunday – March 15 – is just over two weeks away.
