Alabama Basketball Debuting Throwback Uniforms With a Twist: Roll Call

Alabama basketball will be in new uniforms on Saturday when the program takes on South Carolina. The Crimson Tide will wear similar uniforms as the prior season's thowbacks with a modern Alabame elephant on the shorts.

“They broke them out after practice. [Latrell] Wrightsell kind of did the promo,” Oats said. “… I think they’re pretty cool. Trelly kept talking about, ‘We’re bringing the ones back from when (Erwin Dudley) played.’ It looked like the shorts were a little shorter like back when I played, like I had.

“They said, ‘Maybe we’ll play a lot harder like they played in the ‘80s.’ I think that count was made, too. They did play hard in the ‘80s. I gave them a Larry Bird quote today, too. So, we had a lot of ‘80s and ‘90s references.”

"Leadership is getting players to believe in you. You can tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as your able to. You better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony and they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got. Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved, being able to take it as well as dish it out. It's the only way you're going to get respect from the players."

Alabama Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:
