The Wisconsin men`s basketball team, in partnership with Under Armour, is set to debut this season`s "By the Players" alternate uniforms for Friday`s home game vs. Grambling State. In collaboration with Under Armour, players within the men`s basketball program were able to help design the alternate uniforms themselves.For this season`s design, players within the UW men`s basketball program worked to create the look in representation of diversity and inclusion. The black uniforms feature gold pinstripes that contain the words "EQUALITY, UNITY, WISCONSIN FORWARD" within the stripes. Featured on the back of the men`s alternate jersey above each player`s last name is the university crest logo with the "W" in black. During the summer of 2020, current and former Badger student-athletes publicly stated their desire to wear the university`s "Crest W" on their athletic uniforms. The "W" in the crest is white, but was changed to black on UW athletic uniforms during the 2020-21 season in a showing of solidarity with Black and other underrepresented communities on campus.
The Badger men are scheduled to debut their black alternate uniforms at home on Dec. 23 vs. Grambling State, then again later in the season in recognition of Black History Month...
