Black or Blue

Then vote for the black although it has nothing to do with Duke. I don't know who makes the decision as what to wear whether it's the coaching staff, the players or who ever it is I wish they would stop. I don't care how cool or intimidating some think they look they need to be burned. OFC
I like blue just because that's Duke's color....or I always thought it was, anyway.
No question it should be the blues. Duke is Royal blue and white. The black was done as another way for Nike to sell more merchandise. It's fine to wear them here and there, but it's not true Duke.
I picked Blue. That's the Traditional uniform. What's up with all this switch up uniforms stuff? U c it on a weekly basis in college football. Ridiculous
Hey pisgah so far it's you a one other for black. Must be a thr troll because they didn't take credit for selecting black.

Yeah right. OFC
I think Kevin White, K, or whoever is making the decision, is a little superstitious. After we lost to Va Tech, we were 2-2 with the black unis. Something had to change with the bad luck of the black unis (Elon game included). Up to that point, we hadn't used the blue uniforms all season long. So we try out the blue unis the next two games; we lose to both FSU and Louisville sporting our blue jersies. Going back to the Black uniforms was the next logical choice. After the Louisville loss, we pulled off three straight road wins in those black uniforms. We were probably going to stay in the black unis until we lost. The Miami game will be a toss-up as the ending of the Syracuse game might come off as a little fluky. I say 70% chance we see Blue against Miami. If we win against Miami, we'll use the same uniforms against Carolina.
Here's the complete list of our road uniforms used in order:
Kansas- Loss (Black)
UNLV- Win (Black)
Elon- Win (Black)
Va Tech- Loss (Black)
FSU- Loss (Blue)
Louisville- Loss (Blue)
Wake- Win (Black)
Notre Dame- Win (Black)
UVA- Win (Black)
Syracuse- Loss (Black)
Black: 5-3
Blue: 0-2

Burn the black. I bet since we started wearing them our record is much worse with them than the blue. First thing I told my wife last night was there's the dang black unis again.
The black color has nothing to do with Duke no more than olive green , zebra stripes or polka dots. I'll say this for unc. I've never seen the basketball team wearing black away from home. OFC
They wore a black jersey last year against UCLA in the CBS sports classic but I haven't seen it since.

The football team for Trinity College (the predecessor for Duke University) was called the Blue and Whites.

School colors are blue and white, not black. I hate the fact that Nike has pushed this onto Duke. Really wish we stayed with Adias.

Carolina's unis actually look slightly better in black. Slightly. Anything that minimizes that egregiously ugly baby blue color is an upgrade.
I can't imagine Carolina Uniforms looking slightly better than anything. Just sayin'.
