As the GU alum in the bunch - though I wasn't there at the time - that turnover didn't have anything to do with undershirt colors. Both GU and UNC wore powder blue road uniforms and white home uniforms in '81-82. The '82 National Championship was the only time GU had worn blue since the end of the regular season. The thought was Fred Brown saw James Worthy's white uniform and had a brain glitch. The next season was the first for GU in dark blue & grey uniforms.
Ewing wore a grey undershirt his first two years. The only reason it became an issue was Thompson had him wear one as a sophomore that had a Nike logo - a mini-sneaker, actually - on the sleeves (yes "sleeves," as in those things that extend off the torso of the shirt). By the '83-84 season the NCAA standardized things: t-shirts had to be the same color as the jersey and they couldn't have any logos.
