LEWJ Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I wonder if there will be owners who prefer to use ad space for their own companies rather than selling the ad space... Would it be necessary to have rules regarding this? I'm not sure exactly how the ad revenue would be dispersed. If it's shared revenue, I could see why that may be prohibited.

SCalderwood Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Well, we are into our first game of the playoffs, and so far, zero alternate jerseys. I suppose that's a good start. On the negative side, they have Doris Burke announcing the game on ESPN. Can't win them all, I guess. Mute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDesign Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thunder wore their sleeved white alts again. They're undefeated in them this year and have worn them for 8-straight home games. Seems like it's become a bit of a superstition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus89 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 With all of the player chemistry issues. With all of the hate toward Morey and analytics and firing McHale. With all the hate Harden gets for his style of play and lack of defense. With all the hate Dwight Howard gets for being Dwight Howard. Being one of the most hated teams in the league and now on our way to being swept in the first round after only a .500 win season after having just been in the WCF. Has there ever been a more perfect opportunity for the Houston Rockets to rebrand? It's been 13 years of underachieving. 13 years of big names such as Steven Francis, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Ron Artest, Kyle Lowry, James Harden, Dwight Howard. Nothing to show for it. It's time to put this brand out of its misery. You have a realistic chance at having a new GM, a new coach, and having only James Harden as the only player under contract to build around with a great free agency class. This is the time to release a new brand and go into the 2016-2017 season with a fresh start. Is there no hope? Is that 1 year notice rule still a thing? Didn't the Clippers rebrand in 1 summer? I feel like several teams have. Is it at all possible or would Rockets fans at minimum have to wait another season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look how well that turned out. I feel like several teams have. The only other team I can think of that rebranded on such short notice were the Thunder, when they moved to Oklahoma City. Which was obviously a special circumstance. And like the Clippers...how'd that turn out?

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Not next season, or the one after, but any "official" word on the Warriors' after their move to San Fran? Will they keep the Golden State moniker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want my jerseys as close to the real thing as possible, but I'm not buying a jersey with an ad on it. Plus I like making fun of people who by soccer jerseys with ads on them. Well as someone who is very opposed to ads on NBA jerseys I will be fine buying a replica with no ad. However... If authentics do not come with ads I will be much less likely to buy one than I would be if it came with the ad. If you are calling something authentic it needs to be authentic, this is precisely why I haven't bought any NBA authentics in years. I'll ignore that second part because that is just pretty pathetic.

MCM0313 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I hope the Kings go to a modernized version of their '80s look, with the baby blue road unis. Preferably just make baby blue their full-time primary color and red their secondary, with royal blue for trim only. And have NOB be at the bottom of the jersey like in the '80s too. That'd be freakin' sweet...which is exactly why it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's "under consideration" but I doubt they will, especially with their recent success. I'd love them to make the change, but I doubt they'd want to alienate East Bay fans. But, they should have become the Oakland Warriors yeeeeeeeears ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacat_12 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I think the Kings would be a perfect team for a powder blue & purple colour scheme. The throwbacks look great, but blue and red is just too boring. If they simply replace the red on the throwback with purple it'd be an amazing, and unique look. It's also a great way to bridge the two eras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oilers in the NFL pulled that combination off wonderfully for many years. So, @spartacat_12, would the tertiary "trim" color be red or royal blue? Either one would be interesting. Royal blue would mean three "cool" colors and no warms. Red would mean red and purple in the same scheme for the first time since the original color scheme of the Raptors.

I agree. I always thought Golden State was nice and I prdfer then to keep that than SF. When I was younger I always wondered why the Nets didn't go by Garden State. But when you're still the Nets, it doesnt matter much. At least we weren't Garden State Swam Dragons. The adult half of me hates it but the 90s kid in me loves it. GO NETS.

Dynasty Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I've thought about it for a while, and I've come to the conclusion that Golden State is a terrible name. San Francisco, in my opinion, should be able to work as the body of water they're next to is called the "San Francisco Bay". Even if people in Oakland think it's associated with the city, it can also be associated with the Bay Area as a whole. Plus they're a professional basketball team, not a University.
