Nike make the rules not you or any other player in here. Nike and the NBA make the rules. And, like I said earlier ... there are always exceptions to the rules. Which are fickle at best. But, I think the point is why couldn't teams that weren't redesigning their logo or jerseys -- like the Lakers -- allowed to wear their purple jerseys (or "secondary" jerseys). It's just stupid, that's all. It's made for some stupid match ups, especially with the Lakers. Thanksgiving can't come soon enough. But, our bitching won't change that obviously. But, that's why we have message boards, right? "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Red Wolf Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I've totally lost track of this thread, so please forgive me if this was brought up for some reason. I just want to take a moment to bitch about the Grizzlies not using the split numbers of old. In particular I'm bringing it up because their G-League affiliate, the Hustle have them!

IceCap Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 16 hours ago, Teal said: Pay 1 billion for the NBA contract then you can dictate the rules. Nike telling the Los Angeles Lakers they can’t wear purple would be like if UnderArmour told the New York Yankees they can’t wear pinstripes until a certain date once they take over the MLB contract. It’s moronic. The Lakers are a marquee team, and they shouldn’t have to avoid wearing one of their signature looks just because Nike has a half-baked branding idea they insist on making a reality league-wide.

FinsUp1214 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Miami is wearing their throwbacks tonight at Utah. I see them and can’t help but think how much better the throwback colors are for Miami than the current colors. Red-Orange-Black is both more visually appealing and “hotter” to me than the darker red-gold-black to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Lakers are on the road and the home team (Bucks) are wearing white, so we get to complain. Yellow vs white continues to be the absolute worst. EDIT: Did the shot clock backboard lights turn yellow this season? Or am I seeing things? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way it should be. I've seen them wear yellow on the road against the Suns who wore Orange at home and I was totally fine with it and that was back in like 2006. Yellow vs White doesn't work for the Lakers, it may work for other teams like the Pacers and Nuggets but not the Lakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a dilemma, I think yellow is home and orange is away but I'm not sure on yellow vs orange? I guess if it was good enough for Cavs at Lakers in 1986 it's cool. I really prefer Cavs/Warriors/Pacers/Lakers in home yellow instead of white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not as bad as that college game I saw between Wisconsin and Illinois where they went red vs. orange, but still very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafiaman Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 So, let me get this straight: Each team has four jerseys, The Icon, the Association, The Leaders, and The Legends. Right? Ridiculous. How about "home," "away," and "alternate" and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they also mentioned some teams will get classic/throwback jerseys this season to wear a few times. In full agreement on just having the home, away, and alternate with throwbacks/unique jerseys reserved for special occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Suns-Lakers 'Orange vs. Gold' was less offensive. Doesn't mean I liked it, but it wasn't as hard to follow compared to the Knicks-Hawks game.

They've played 7 games since they first wore the throwbacks on 11/1. They've worn them five times and the white set twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachcw_51 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Some additional observations from my tracking: If you're looking for traditional uni-matchups, your best bet is to watch a game early in the work week. Teams have gone traditional 75% of games on Monday (15 total), 73% on Tuesday (16) and 71% on Wednesday (27). Avoid Friday, only 43% of games (16) have had the home team in white and road in dark. The Celtics (5-0), Bulls (1-4), and Rockets (4-1) have all played five color vs. color games so far. The Cavs, Nuggets, Warriors, Bucks, Timberwolves, Knicks, Suns, Trailblazers, and Kings have not played any color vs. color games. There are only three uniforms that are undefeated: Lakers throwback (1-0) 76ers white (2-0) and Kings white (2-0). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seems like nationally televised games go for the non-traditional color match ups from what I've seen. Thanks for keeping these stats.Great work.
