I do recall the Knicks wearing their St. Patrick's Day green alternates on Christmas a couple times, though. At least one of those was against the Bulls, so maybe that's what you were misremembering. 6 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Maybe just let them play in their normal uniforms. We don't need Christmas uniforms to remind me that I'm (not) watching them on Christmas. I know that I'm (not) watching them on Christmas because *checks the calendar* it's freakin' Christmas. 8 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."

FiddySicks Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 The NBA is ultimately going to lose the Christmas space to the NFL, so I’m not sure if they should throw out all of the stops, or just forget about it altogether. 1 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

But most years in the near future would be on other days when it would be in play. I don't think the NBA will drop Christmas games, though, even if playing second fiddle in the ratings. Adjacent opinion: I wish the Bucks still used Christmas colors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the players' issue was with sleeves in general, but more specifically with the sleeves as Adidas made them. Those shirts were form-fitting and I think the complaint was that they were too restrictive. It's easy to see why just by looking at them.

Digby Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I think marquee dates are the time to keep it traditional and showcase your best and most solid look, which I was pleasantly surprised they went back to this year (except for Miami and Philly being backwards). The Celtics wearing all the red accessories with a green jersey was a clever nod to the holiday while still looking like their normal selves, and not like the Seattle Sonics or the silly Christmas card script or whatever. It's not the time to see the Miami Viceheat or whatever mystery color Golden State's doing this year and so on. Much like how the NFL doesn't throw out Thanksgiving-theme alternates; it's just the usual look or, maybe, an appropriate throwback. The whole spectacle of the NHL Winter Classic makes that one a little different, but the core idea is the same and the way the early Stadium Series cookie-cutter uniforms fell flat kinda proves the rule.

There's enough contrast, and the Clippers dark blue comes across more as black for being dark enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with red/green matchups is that they're the most likely to be exceptionally difficult for colorblind viewers, which is why color v color matchups have generally shied away from those two colors in recent years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
