Duke’s new alternate jerseys are so good

These are the best jerseys in college basketball.

It’s hard to make a good alternate jersey. Sometimes they can lean too hard into certain themes. Other times they aren’t doing enough. And, more often than not, they commemorate something that doesn’t really matter β€” just look at the NBA’s City Jerseys.

But this new Duke alternate jersey isΒ so incredibly good.Β It’s perfection. This is exactly what an alternate jersey is supposed to look like.

They dropped these new “Brotherhood” jerseys in commemoration of the four decades head coach Mike Krzyzewski has been with the program.

They’re jaw dropping. Everything from the navy blue color to the gothic “Duke” font and the subtle “brotherhood” on the shorts. They’ve got it all.

The school revealed their new jerseys on Twitter in a video ahead of their game against Wake Forest on Saturday night.

I only have two comments here. The first one is that Duke doesn’t deserve these jerseys. They’re too good for a program that is so easily hateable.

The second one: Zion Williamson deserved to wear this jersey last year and we deserve to see him in it. We need to demand that the Pelicans, a squad loaded with Duke players, wear these when he finally returns to the team.
