It's nice to see the home team in white and the road team in color. same with spurs vs. knicks (although NYK is wearing their "statement" uniforms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz_Matt Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Jazz are also in white and OKC in blue tonight. They've also been advertising the new 5 for the fight ad all game. It says 5 jerseys and shows the city edition they've had the last two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all might want to make note of the off-white color of the paint area for future reference.

I’ve heard a couple rumors about that on twitter and reddit, so this seemingly all but confirms that as the base color of the City Edition. The team’s beat reporter, Casey Holdahl, has already said on twitter that fans will love the new City Edition, so I can’t wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally every color of the rainbow is represented here, and with the different contrasting styles of the main set, the gradients, and the throwbacks there is no real sense of cohesion. The brand just feels like its all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm generally for keeping All-Star Weekend to a tight rotation of destination cities (New Orleans, Los Angeles, Miami, et al) but the league would really be playing with fire if it declared one of its markets to be Not Black Enough for its marquee event, because at that point you may as well Sterling them out of the league altogether. Though I am intrigued by the postulated twelve-dimensional chess of Adam Silver killing All-Star Weekend by making black people feel unwelcome. Suspicions will be undeniable when the 2024 game is awarded to "just a neighborhood with Koreans and Jews." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satomiblood Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I'm glad Utah got the nod to host All-Star Weekend 2023. I wasn't a fan of New Orleans and Los Angeles getting it a combined 5 times in a 10-year span, destination popularity notwithstanding. While I'm on the subject, I'm surprised it's taken over 30 years for Chicago to host it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes down to team/arena ownership. The NBA takes over your venue for the event and gets the majority of the profits from ticket/suite/concession sales. Some owners just dont like the deal and have no interest in letting the league take over their venue for 2-3 nights when they could make money for themselves by hosting a hockey game or a concert those nights. Mark Cuban was staunchly against hosting an all-star game and it never came to the DFW Metroplex until Jerry Jones welcomed the league into his stadium.

Reinsdorf never wanted it because he felt he wouldn't get enough money out of it. He didn't own the Stadium, only the Wirtzes did, so maybe it wasn't as much of an issue then. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
