I don't know if there's much of a contrast between the Cavs' wine and Nets' black jerseys? But, I was a bit disappointed the Rockets didn't wear red last night against the 76ers. Hopefully, we'll see less white on the road when the statement jerseys are finally worn next month. But, I have to say as weird as it is to watch road teams in white, it's also weird seeing the Lakers in gold on the road as well. Anytime.

upperV03 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Color on color game in Chicago tonight: There should’ve been a second color on color game tonight as the Blazers are wearing black at home for the second straight game and the Clippers easily could’ve worn their blue uniforms, but they (unfortunately) decided to wear white instead. Shame on the Clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it's the TV or photo? The original is sky blue, but tonight it seemed neon green. Anyone else notice that?

kimball Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The 76ers played in the Spectrum before it was razed and then the Bucks in the MECCA tonight. What other teams could do the same in a previous arena in their current city? Portland Trail Blazers, Memorial Coliseum LA Lakers, The Forum(?) Phoenix Suns, Veterans Memorial Coliseum Houston Rockets, The Summit(?) San Antonio Spurs, Alamodome Anyone else I am missing. It'd be cool if the Suns did a similar thing with the Coliseum since it's their 50th season as well. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Don't think it's able to accommodate basketball any more after renovations. The summit I believe has been renovated as well to church only status. Arco is still standing obviously but wouldn't happen. Warriors could play at Cow Palace or even Bill Graham auditorium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blazers played a preseason game in Memorial Coliseum in 2009 as part of their 40th anniversary. Their 50th anniversary season will be 2019/20, so it’ll be interesting to see if they do it again, and if they do, whether or not it’ll be in the preseason again or the regular season.

They also played at War Memorial and the Civic Auditorium, but they’re far too small (Cow Palace isn’t that big itself). The Oracle probably won’t be around too long, but they could use it as well, should it still be standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Memorial Coliseum looked pretty cool in that game because they had the curtains open. I wish this was a more common thing with arenas. I know Golden 1 Center has windows like this and the Oracle Arena had curtains like the Memorial Coliseum up until the 1996 renovations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I'm sure it's not doable, but the Lakers playing a game in the Forum would be sweet. I'm pretty sure it's been renovated beyond the capability of holding a sporting event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichO Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 19 hours ago, -Akronite- said: Interesting. Color-wise I'm sure I'll get used to it, since the NBA was already so alt-heavy that classic home v road matchups were not that standard anyway. But it does bother me to lose the identity of home v road in terms of team name versus city name on the jersey. Oh well, it's not as bad as most of Nike's designs or ads on jerseys so gotta pick my battles I guess. That convention isn't much of a thing in the NBA to begin with. To me, other than the Knicks who wear it all the time, it's more an anomaly to see a city name on an NBA jersey at all. I think the home/road convention in basketball is the same look in different colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is definitely not the original blue color, I saw some pics of floor pieces out of the arena lighting and it looked way more mint greenish in that case so I'm not sure what effect the lighting may have on it.

The team looked best in dark green/red, before adding the Irish Rainbow. The Irish Rainbow (and that eyesore of a court - the current "inspired by" court looks far better) are so overrated.

I don't understand why they've never thrown back to the '80s and those unis. They were probably the 3rd best team in the East most of that decade but could never get past Boston or Philly in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Just as they did in 2015/16 when they wore the “The City” throwbacks at home, the Warriors are swapping out the mid-court logo for their home throwback games this season, the first of which is tonight. Here’s what it looks like: Although I appreciate the effort to add a corresponding mid-court logo for when they wear the throwbacks, I don’t know why they didn’t go with the period-appropriate mid-court logo, seen here (credit to @kodrinsky for the graphic): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
