We, the undersigned, petition Duke University and Nike to revert its Basketball Uniforms to templates used before 2005. The blue (road) and white (home) uniforms should not have black trim, as it is not a University color. The blue should be identical or very close to Duke Blue (listed as PMS 287 in Duke records). Holograms should be removed. Duke has a classic uniform, similar to those worn by Penn State in football. Adding black and making the blue a brighter shade of royal detracts from the Duke image and is not part of our school history. We, the fans, feel that our uniforms were the best when they are a simple Duke Blue and White, and we respectfully request that Duke remove the black trim from the (Duke) blue and white uniforms.
The engagement on this petition has reached a level that warrants a formal response from the department. I am currently drafting a letter to the athletic director to schedule a meeting regarding the color palette and design specifications. I will update this feed once I have confirmation of a sit down.

Why mess with perfection seriously. Duke blue and white is iconic.

The black trim looks like some cheap high school jersey. Bring back the clean look from the 90s.

Stop trying to be flashy with the holograms and black accents. Tradition matters more.

I been watching since the 80s and these new colors just look wrong man. Keep it simple like it used to be.

Those uniforms were way better back in the day. Get rid of the extra colors.
