Today the Hoyas stepped up their defense not only on the court, but with their choice of footwear with fresh new kicks in the the first round of the NCAA tournament. The shoes’ intricate design is sure to stun the Hoya’s opponents, or at least make them look twice at the sheer fuglyness. I’m not sure why Georgetown chose to debut the shoes today (white jersey day, anyone?) and I’m also confused as to why they’re partly Carolina blue. However, in spite of the novel footwear, the Hoyas defeated the UMBC Retrievers by nearly twenty points. Maybe they’re onto something after all.
