Roughly six weeks after Maryland men's and women's basketball announced new uniforms for the upcoming 2023-24 season, Maryland men's basketball announced white throwback uniforms in a video released on Monday morning. https://twitter.com/TerrapinHoops/status/1718991144690868719 Maryland's white uniforms, featuring the iconic Maryland script lettering, will also be worn for Maryland's home game against Michigan State on January 21, 2024, which will be broadcast nationally on CBS. Maryland released the new uniform in a promo video starring their freshmen class with DeShawn Harris-Smith, Jamie Kaiser Jr. and Jahnathan Lamothe featured. Maryland's new uniforms pay homage to the Left Driesell era and the 1970 teams featuring former stars like Len Elmore, Albert King and Tom McMillen among others. Via release: The uniforms are highlighted by a script ‘Maryland’ across the chest as well as the interlocking UM logo that was used during the 1970s. The classic look features red lettering and numerals outlined in black, while the trim along the arms, neck and shorts is red, black and white keeping with the traditional Maryland feel. As with the new main uniform set for 2023-24, the Under Armour logo is on the center neckline allowing space for other patches, such as the new Graduate patch, to be displayed proudly. The interlocking UM logo is prominently displayed on the front leg of the shorts as well as on the back of the jersey above the last name of each player.
Fans can purchase a replica of the iconic 70's throwback uniform starting today on Fanatics. There will also be replicas of the new black, red, and yellow jerseys that are available now for purchase as well.
