So I have to be honest; I don’t get the connection to The GOAT (argue witcho mamas) Muhammad Ali.
1. None of Ali’s Robes matches this color scheme
2. He didn’t wear Everlast gloves matching this scheme
With that said, I believe it’s a nice uni overall, but it should’ve been their traditional red w/ black & gold accents. That would’ve truly been an homage to Ali.
I spotted the Everlast typography immediately. Took me right back to my childhood when I started watching boxing (and Ali, I'm old).
It LOOKS LIKE there may be some sort of collar design. But it's not very prominent.
If adidas wanted to think outside the box (like the Nike/Tulane Mardi Gras jersey), I would have said "can you make a 'championship belt' design on the pants?"
Finally, I seem to recall Ali wearing...a lot of white and a lot of red...WHICH ARE LOUISVILLE COLORS!!! So why go with an all-black uniform?
Again, it looks fine, but outside of the Louisville/Everlast typography (which is brilliant), I just don't see what they seemingly want me to see.
