There aren’t too many times in my life I wish I’d been stripped of the ability to see. Tonight’s one of those times.
In an effort to out-ugly Georgia’s Nike couture from Saturday night, Maryland unveiled new Under Armour uniforms for their opener against Miami that are at best something you would see loading into the starting gate at the Preakness and at worst something Lady Gaga would say “dayum!” upon seeing.
