insert name 2,115 Posted April 19, 2017 Are NBA teams afraid of a good uniform matchup? Bulls are at it again with the black shirts. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
upperV03 3,398 Posted April 20, 2017 The Bucks are having a blackout tonight for Game 3 against Toronto. They'll be in the black "fear the deer" uniforms and they'll have the alternate court as well. This'll be the first time (to my knowledge) that any team will have used an alternate court in a playoff game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digby 1,028 Posted April 21, 2017 Eh, I like the striping on the regular Wiz jerseys. The Nets and Sixers already kinda took this aesthetic. Plus I'm bored with foisting patriotism on DC teams -- wish someone from the big four leagues would follow DC United's lead and place city pride above country pride for a change. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadojoker 733 Posted April 21, 2017 http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/245694/Wizards-Home-Playoff-Uniforms-Can-No-Longer-Be-Bought-By-Fans Wow those Wizards jerseys are sold out until NIKE takes over. It says that these unis are VERY popular with everyone!! (Even management and shareholders) Guess we can expect a road alternate then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Around the Horn 350 Posted April 21, 2017 I think that the "best" Wizards jersey is probably a mix of elements from the two jerseys... Now in what way, I'm not sure... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digby 1,028 Posted April 21, 2017 I'd suggest a compromise that's more based on the navy blue alt: no second stripe on the front, but retains the contrasting shoulder yoke. I think I do like the red wordmark + navy number + no silver on the flag alt, so that can stay. But none of the stars and stripes stuff. (As much as I hate on the nationalistic nonsense, I do love the retro-campaign-button look of the Wizards logo.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScubaSteve 376 Posted April 21, 2017 Anythings better than the training bra jerseys. I get what they were trying to do, but I don't think it was well executed. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right that demand outstripped projections, but I suspect that the projections were extremely conservative. Wizards merch doesn't appear to sell that well. I went to the NBA flagship store in NYC ~8 years ago; I asked if they stocked Wizards shorts. The rep replied, "nah, we only carry the main teams." 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose that's possible (although it certainly didn't work), but teams will often bring two sets of uniforms with them for the first two road games of a playoff series since they generally stay in that city in between those games. So unless they flew out the black and gold set after Game 1, it seems as though it was a move that was decided on before the series. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was there a couple of years ago trying to find some Hornets merch. Aside from an LJ throwback jersey, they only had a single t-shirt. When I asked one of the assistants if they had anything, he said "you mean the Pelicans, right?". When I said Charlotte he replied "Oh, Bobcats stuff isn't a big seller". Just about said it all. I also didn't find a single piece of Whalers merch at the NHL store either, but that's another story... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
