It looks like their Chinese New Year will be "Blue and Gold with a dragon on the logo" and "The Slate unis will have "The Town" with an Oak Tree". Source: https://mobile.twitter.com/phredroq Hopefully we see a mockup within the week! I've never been to Oakland, so I assume "The Town" is a local thing. But I honestly think of the movie The Town instantly when I hear that, and thus think of Boston instead. That'll take some getting used to. Also very interesting that they're apparently going with the white 70's-80's version as thier throwback. Not a bad one at all - it at least does the "text and circle" bit a whole lot better than the current does - but I too would've preferred Run TMC if they wanted a white set to throwback to.

As an Oakland native, I am looking forward to those rumored "The Town" jerseys though. I would say probably because of $$. If fans have bought a lot of the yellow "the city" jerseys, having a totally new spin on "the city" like we see above could improve jersey sales even more Dribbble ...

I live in Northern California and the only nickname I've seen Oakland referred to is Oak Town much like Sac Town for Sacramento. It just seems like a last ditch effort by the Warriors to rally the Oakland fans into supporting them as they move San Francisco in 2019. The next 3 years of sports for Oakland are extremely brutal because you have two major teams leaving and one team on the verge of leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born and raised in Oakland and trust me, we do call it "The Town"...it's a take off of San Francisco being called "The City". But yeah, with the Raiders and Warriors skipping town and the A's continually trading their best players and keeping quiet on announcements for a new stadium, being an Oakland sports fan is difficult. Yeah, unveiling "The Town" jerseys would be a bit of a naked cash grab, but us Oakland fans have complained for years about the Warriors pretending our city doesn't exist...it will feel to good to get (possibly forced and insincere) recognition for once before they price us out completely. I really wish the rumored jerseys weren't BFBS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that one big Nike reveal might have been underwhelming, but I really don't understand what's taking some teams so long to release their new uniforms. I'd assume Nike has had this stuff done for a long time. What's the hold up? The Cavs posted a picture last week that said the uniforms will be shown "soon." yet nothing. Even after leaks of the wine and white, you'd think they'd just release them and be done with it. Hopefully more leaks happen and this all backfires on teams waiting too long.

They have failed in the past since they got rid of the original unis in 1996. Hopefully it will be sign of this franchise that things will only get better.

Shadojoker Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'll say this. If the teams uniform changed at all then I understand the big buildup/wait for the jersey reveal. HOWEVER, if you wait all damn summer to show off your "new" state of the art uniform with no changes..then that is absolute B.S. Cleveland, Phoenix, Spurs, Clippers (maybe) and Minnesota have a genuine excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
