The Wright State men’s basketball team will unveil a new uniform on Friday, Jan 26 when they face off against the Detroit-Mercy Titans. That game is scheduled for a 7:00 PM tip off.
The uniforms are a desert digital camo design, and are being worn as a part of Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) night at the Nutter Center. Wright State’s men’s basketball twitter account tweeted out partial pictures of the new uniforms and will fully unveil them at the game.
This will be WSU’s fourth uniform of the season. The Raiders have worn a white home jersey, a green away jersey, and a black alternate jersey that has mainly been worn on the road.
The new jersey has caused quite a bit of buzz around campus since its announcement. Senior economics major Gage Roe thinks the camo jerseys are a nice addition for everyone involved,
“I typically am a fan of camo themed jerseys, so I think these will be a nice addition,” he said. “I like what the WSU baseball team has done with camo. In general, I always think it’s cool when programs release new uniforms. It keeps things fresh for players and fans”.
As Roe mentioned, this is not the first time WSU has honored the military with a sports jersey. Last season, both the baseball and softball teams wore an alternate camo jersey throughout the season.
WPAFB night will also feature a t-shirt giveaway that has a military camo theme to it. They are available to the first 5,000 people in attendance. As always, students get two free tickets with a valid Wright1 card.
