But, why? One does not simply put turquoise where the was no turquoise before. That is absolutely insane. Nike has really crossed the line with this nonsense.

Or use a dream catcher patch on the jersey.

Would have been better to let Native American designers design a special uniform for this occasion (and using turquoise at their discretion) instead of templating existing uniforms in this very uninspired manner. Just splash the colour and we are done. Back to the drawing board, you Beaverton zombies!

That was the Sophomore year of Joe Burton, who was the first resident of the Soboba Indian Reservation to receive a basketball scholarship to a major university. He was also the first Native American men’s basketball player to earn a scholarship to a Pac-10 school.

Hoping fans wake up and they don’t buy this stuff. Talk about exploitation.

Adding this “neutral” to red-dominant teams is very 1980s St. Louis Cardinals to me.

I posted the link of New Mexico’s old Turquoise jersey. It seems that Nike didn’t realy do much besides change the font on the front

If you think of it, any teams that wear powder blue uniforms part time (Royals, Rays) or used to wear it as their road uniforms (Braves, Cardinals, Phillies, Cubs) are or were maybe doing the same thing and don’t realize it.

Example: Florida State (Seminoles), my school Central Michigan (Chippewas), and any other Native American mascot school if any still remain. Not just Nike brand schools!
