UD has to have more sustained tournament success to uniforms that aren't in the catalog. Just watch games this week and see how many Nike teams have the exact same base uniform as UD. I know VCU, SJU, and Fordham have them just in the A10

$$$$ talks. Nike probably has a contract with UD and part of that contract dictates what the uniforms will look like. Nike probably needs to be confident that they will sell 50,000?, 60,000? whatever units to fans before they go the custom route. If you want my money, you'll wear the uniforms I provide, any questions?
