>> I think Providence had them but I'm not sure.
 
Providence did wear them back in the mid '80s.  If I remember right, we only
wore them for a couple of seasons.  They were okay with the home uniforms
(black pants with white jersey) but were awesome away (black and black.)  They
were pretty sinistar looking all in black.  The reason given for eliminating
them, BTW, was that the full black pants hid the puck.  I never quite bought
that explanation.  Rather, I think they just went the way of the leisure suit
and died a quick death.
 
I don't recall any other ECAC team wearing them (I believe it was prior to the
inception of Hockey East in 1985) but I could be mistaken.  Somehow, I have
trouble picturing a team like Cornell skating with long red Coops...  :-)
