Telemundo219 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 And what's up with this "Detroit Basketball"??? It's so stupid sounding and generic. As if there's some real sense of civic pride. It's so dumb. We know you play in the Detroit (well actually you don't). And these players would be proud play for any team if they paid them no matter where they're from. College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmejia Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 In Detroit's defense, Detroit Basketball is not as generic as most might think and is a little different that Denver Basketball or Atlanta Basketball in that the fans have chanted that from the stands since at least the 80's, maybe longer. It's more comparable to something like Who Dat or Rock Chalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mason, the team's PA announcer, started saying DEE-TROIT BASKET-BALLL prior to Pistons' out-of-bounds plays during the Pistons' early-2000s resurgence.

mmejia Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Okay, I thought that went back to the Bad Boys era, but still confirms the point that it's wasn't generically applied to this campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game, Premier, and Elite? The 3 price point approach already exists in the NBA: replica, swingman, and authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

I see, only in the arena´s then ? Guess that means they won't be selling a lot of them.

MadmanLA Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I guess this would be the appropriate spot to put this information, but what was going to be an inevitable change, the Hornets' home arena in Uptown Charlotte will now be the Spectrum Center, thanks to Charter Cable's purchase of Time Warner Cable that was completed earlier in the year. https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/103ede2a-3242-3dae-a6c3-2e26d317e0aa/charlotte-hornets%26%2339%3B-arena.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadojoker Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 they are too busy worrying about the water supply to focus on this new logo reveal. Maybe they wait til 2017 for new unis (not just tweaks). just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Apparently the Clippers aren't from Los Angeles, they are from L.A. That is what the team name is suppose to be as of 2015 and we all didn't know because the Clippers didn't outright state it. http://www.uni-watch.com/2016/08/19/los-angeles-clippers-move-to-l-a/ This would also explain why the Clippers are allowed to have LA in their logo and not Los Angeles, because the team officially changed it to that, and as per NBA rules, the City name must be in the primary logo.
