upperV03 Posted April 20, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyJosh Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Those are the best jerseys Washingtons had (in basketball) since the Bullets, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted April 21, 2017 Share 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.

Around the Horn Posted April 21, 2017 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted April 21, 2017 Share 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.)

ScubaSteve Posted April 21, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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."

upperV03 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The Raptors are going with the gold-accented uniforms tonight in Cleveland. Seems an odd choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
