Just a thought. Impossible, as the networks wouldn't have any specific game to promote, and wouldn't be able to guarantee that they're getting any specific market or team that they want. Also (not that leagues give AF) unfair to arena employees and other impacted people who find out that they're working on Christmas only shortly before the day, when they've already made travel plans or want to spend it with family / friends. 4 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

There have already been too many visual distractions about everything but the gameplay when you're just trying to watch a basketball game these days. Let's not give them any more ideas.

It's interesting to see this uniform matchup because it never happened in the past. Both teams switched to and from these uniforms within a year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I'm somewhat shocked Nike got the pinstripes right for the Hornets, considering their throwbacks to the original set consistently had way too thick pinstripes. 1 Quote A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Wild how the NBA put more effort into awards and trophies for a bogus tournament then they do the real one 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BShaw20 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 So it will be Lakers vs. Pelicans in the in season tournament semifinal, and both of their city/in season tournament uniforms are black. Does that mean one team won’t be wearing their in season tournament uniform in the semi? lol lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give them a pass this year just because of the late approval of the tournament. But, they should have clash set next year for the cup games. 2 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

The Pelicans will be in their white "association" uniforms. The NBA is preventing the Lakers from wearing their black uniforms because of concerns over the visual contrast between the jerseys and the design of the specialized in-season court the semifinals will be played on at T-Mobile Arena, a source with knowledge of the subject told ESPN. All of this effort for the In Season Tournament only for them to realize late in the game that the idea was stupid. Incredible job by Adam Silver. It's almost like regular uniform matchups and courts would have been this whole time! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 How is a black uniform against a blue-and-red court a contrast problem? And how is one team wearing white and one team wearing a too-pale, too-light shade of yellow NOT a contrast problem? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 5 hours ago, pepis21 said: 2k24 leak was correct: Sorry for the double post here but all of this is getting more confounding the more I think about it. Why is the court blue and red -- and candidly, hideous shades of both of those colors -- when the entire tournament branding has been hitting us over the head with black and metallic gold? And if you're going to push the City uniforms as effective primary uniforms for this tournament, why would you not ensure that that initiative works in harmony with your court initiative for same? Everything about this In-Season Tournament feels undercooked by half. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
