Former Terrapins men’s basketball coach Gary Williams’ name will not only grace the court at Comcast Center tomorrow night, but also the shoes of the players. Pictured above are a pair of shoes honoring Williams that some of the Terps will be wearing tomorrow night against Duke. Pictured below are another pair that fans will see.
The news of the Under Armour shoes were tweeted out by many this afternoon, including CNBC’s Darren Rovell and The Sporting News’s Chris Littmann.
These are the first uniform pieces for the basketball team that involve aspects of the Maryland Pride series similar to those that were featured on the Terps’ football jerseys this fall. Football, men’s soccer and women’s soccer all wore cleats with the flag print that is in the detail of these shoes.
According to Littmann, another pair of shoes, pictured below, was presented to Williams in a glass case.
The ceremony honoring Williams will take place at 8:45 p.m., 15 minutes before tip-off.
