  1. Yeah, I am a little conflicted with the name as well. I think it works out okay for a few reasons ... It's been 40 years since the team left San Diego. Donald Sterling doesn't own the Clippers anymore. There's not much of a demand for a NBA team in San Diego. Nostalgia points will sell some tickets. Granted, I don't feel like this would work in Kansas City, Seattle and Vancouver. But, maybe Cincinnati? Baltimore?
  2. 20 years? Oy. I feel old. That feels like yesterday.
  3. Build both arenas. Once Atlanta 3.0 moves to Quebec just award Atlanta 4.0 to the other group ... soooo Saskatoon can get in on the NHL fun.
  4. Being a resident I'd say it is pretty anemic compared to bigger cities. It's getting better ... if that means anything.
  5. I don't know why I love this idea so much? It'd be the most Las Vegas thing ever.
  6. As much as this is for expansion, I still think this is a play for the A's right now, especially if they can't finalize things in Vegas.
  7. Agreed. We'll now probably see a swing back to royal blue hues in the next 3-5 years. Something I'd welcome because Navy blue just seems too formal, serious and stale.
  8. Ehhhh ... I don't know? I believe in the past the main logo had to have one. But, now ... I think a basketball has to be in one of the logos within the whole logo package? Newer logos like Cleveland, Golden State, San Antonio, etc. don't have a basketball within their main logos., but do within alternates, etc. With that said, the ship ball logo is a bit too much in my opinion. It just feels forced.
  9. I'm with Markkanen, I like the bright yellow. Just not a fan of the application.
  10. Growing up in Utah as a Jazz homer, I was the only Clippers fan I knew for decades — until they got good and they got good. I became a fan in the days of Danny Manning, Charles Smith and Gary Grant for a plethora of reasons. Mainly, So Cal was a home away from home for me. I had tons of family in Orange County and they all mostly hated the Lakers. It was natural to root for the Clippers so I did too (along with the Jazz). That said … I love this rebrand. Not crazy about the C-ship logo. But, this is the Clips. Makes excited for the move and I can’t wait to catch a game in the Intuit Dome. Should be great.
  11. Huh. That's fascinating. I've never seen these before. It was a good quick switcheroo.
  12. Off the bat, I am a fan of the LED court for events like this. I am interested to get the opinions of fans there in the dome and players in the events. I loved the ability the court had to track scores during three point shootout and the flare added to the dunk contest and skills challenge was kind of fun. But, with as green as the court was during the shootout I wondered if that was an issue for the players?
  13. If memory serves me ... the Grizzlies wanted to do a court like this a few years ago(?) because of the "Grit and Grind" mentality of the team, but the NBA denied the request. Of course this was all before the NBA Cup and alternate courts were a thing.
  14. Eh, less so ... it's still "Vegas" but the tax check goes somewhere else.
  15. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a few LED courts next year, especially for some of the NBA Cup games, ASG and maybe a team or two for a trial run in regular season games. I think this is cool and opens many possibilities for some cool alternate and even throwback courts.
