jhans203 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I found this on NBA.com, apparently the D-League teams will wear the jersey of one of their affliates. Very interesting and cool concept.D-League NBA Nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous One Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Anaheim in Clipper gear. Yeah it won't happen in the Sterling Era, but another sign of the Clippers moving to the place formerly known as The Pond?

BB61 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 "Hey, I've got it! Instead of actually calling them up... let's let them wear the uniforms to give them a shred of hope!!"Lame. Especially when you consider the fact that they're only doing about 1/3rd of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetthemets Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 For most of those guys, that's the closest they'll get to wearing one of those for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I like it.... Seems like the NBA clubs may be trying a little marketing to nearby areas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroinke Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Booo!

Saturn Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Lame. Still, its no reason to clown on D-Leaguers. A lot of them probably work harder than their NBA counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 screw that. how about these nba rejects earn the right to wear these unisCould you make it in the D-League? Probably not. So somehow you're trashing guys who are doing something you're inable to do? Of course I could be totally wrong, but I don't think I am. So why don't you give the guys who are living their dream a break. You reject.P.S. I hate basketball, but I sort of like this idea.. reaching out into communities that don't hold NBA teams to try to form a bond between them and the minor league club.

rams80 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Sounds like a nice idea (BTW, how is this different from AHL or ECHL teams wearing their parent's sweater or minor league baseball teams wearing their parent's jersey for the night).

I was refering to you calling a collective group of individuals that you don't know rejects. You basically just contradicted your first statement with your latest one.Also, I'll admit you could beat me, but that's not saying much. Stevie Wonder could kick my ass in a game of 1 on 1, I haven't played a meaningful game of basketball since I was 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eRay Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 i think this is a great idea, its nothing ridiculous like wearing them every game or never mentioning that they have a couple parent teams, but it is somewhere in the middle. I think it would be better if they wore different teams' jerseys, like why does Sioux Falls wear the Pistons red jersey 3 times? They could wear the Timberwolves blue once and it would almost match their color scheme, they need to spread the love. BigBrain61: the whole league is covered in this promotion, all teams are taking part, not 1/3rd.yeah, i wrote about the topic, not about speedy and howboutthemfins' 1v1 game, sue me.

ShinyHubCaps Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 These are the things that I see that are wrong with it:1.) Only 12 NBA teams (out of 30) are represented in this production.2.) The NBA merchandising moguls again jump at the chance to sell or produce alternate jerseys. Forcing all of the variant jerseys on us this year is bad enough. I can't even count the number of times the away team wore white because Golden State wanted to wear throwback yellows, or Orlando wanted to wear Penny Hardaway black pinstripes. New York's St. Patty's Day green? New Orlean's Valentine's red? It happens all the time that teams aren't satisfied wearing the jerseys they have, when they should.Here, 7 teams wear alternates (out of 12). 1 teams wears home jerseys (that also happen to be colored, so no white jerseys AT ALL). The remaining 4 wear away jerseys, but again, the alternates dominate all.3.) It says that they will be wearing "authentic uniforms of one of their NBA team affiliates," but it looks like they're wearing replicas in the picture.Other than that, it's seems like a good idea.
