MonkeyWrench32 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Phoenix is wearing their orange alternates and Sacramento is in their road purples. I don't ever recall seeing this (excluding the Lakers and their home yellows). Has this ever happened before?Note, I don't follow the NBA as much as I used to, so I might've missed this in the past.Another thing: BOTH teams above 25 after one quarter?!?! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

slapshot Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 When I referee a basketball game, one of our techniques is to refer to teams by one-syllable colors, like "red", "blue", etc. There's no way I could call either team in this team "red" or "blue"...but "purple" and "orange" is a pain. Dark & light maybe? If one wore white, then you could call the other red or gold or blue, but this one is crazy.

MonkeyWrench32 Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 Hey, Mr. Technicolor. :cool: I've been mostly lurking around lately. Since I was missed so much, I guess I'll try and be more active. I'll have to give up on my dream of being a bass guitar virtuoso, though. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we did play like a bunch of maroons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! above the college ranks, i know i've only seen it when the Lakers play, maybe once or twice when the Pacers wore their alts at home (i'm positive they have since introducing them, though i can't recall when) A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number55 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 FWIW the refs would be calling one team (Suns) as "Gold" and the other team (Sacto) as "Blue". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wear orange jerseys, and I was wondering why they were doing that. The one-syllableness was the only logical reason I could think of, even though I say "orange" more like a one-syllable word, but then again I'm from the south :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 yeah, we try to keep the color names short and simpleit gets hard when you have one team that's teal, the other is light blue, it does get confusingsometimes maroon becomes brown, and dark blue becomes black too Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
