koizim Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Lately everything associated with warriors have had a lot of yellow and not a lot of "Golden Gate Orange" Look at the crowdI personally am 100% for this switch because I've always preferred the yellow to the GS orange. Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, crispy and clean, You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene. We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

koizim Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Yes I know that, but previously they used orange and not yellow for tees.

TFoA Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 That's true.But I think that they were tying to be literally a Golden State. If they do change, then it will be for the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopskid Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Personally I think the NBA has things mixed up. Before, I thought it was cool how home was white, now i see how stupid that is. I think that they should wear the team color at home, that way when fans wear their gear you can notice it. Especially in the incident with Toronto New jerseys. Just my 2 cents...As for the warriors, meh, Yellow is their color too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could either have all yellow home or all white home. For the away they would just be all blue. I don't see the need for using mismatched colors. Even if the Lakers are yellow, if they both wore yellow at home, they would never conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakfu Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 When I think Golden State / San Francisco warriors, I think yellow jerseys...but was the trim orange in philadephia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I think using golden gate orange is a clever idea, and it looks good with blue and some gold.... I just think they can execute a jersey design better.... @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 The orange was a crap tack-on from the 1997 redesign.Interesting anecdote on that, the NBA lobbied hard for Chris Cohan to use a submitted logo design of a "he-man like character holding up the golden gate bridge". Cohan vetoed that and went with the slightly-less stupid power ranger that's still in use. Never mind the fact that the Golden Gate Bridge has nothing to do with Oakland anyway... NBA genius at work...When the logo was announced, I remember there was a small drawing of that he-man/bridge logo, but I never saw it again.

At least that's viewable from the Oakland Coliseum.I tend to agree about the name - although I usually despise state names as a rule, there's something about this one that works. Works much better than "Warriors" anyway, which is damning with faint praise.I'll have to take your word for the logo, not having seen it. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I think for a team that up until this postseason hasn't made many strides in marketing themselves or establishing a national presence in over a decade, having a name like Golden State is actually very detrimental in my opinion. Many people in America can't even find the US on a World Map let alone tell you where/what the 'Golden State' is. I've always prefered San Francisco, Oakland, or even California for that reason. It is an original name, but not one that I think ultimately benefits the image of the team on a national stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not a well-regarded town, for whatever reason (which I shall not get into on this here forum).And San Francisco? SF has nothing to do with the team, nor is SF a particular hotbed of basketball support (or pro sports in general - Giants notwithstanding).And California? I don't think you could get more generic than "California". It may have worked with the Angels, but it just doesn't link to "Warriors" well.

horrorshow Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'd just like to add that the shirts are gold/yellow because the guy who started making these "We Believe" shirts before the Warriors went ahead and cranked out their official shirts, printed the design on yellow shirts. Surprisingly, despite "Go Warriors" appearing on the shirts, the team actually offered to reimburse his $10,000 rather than sue him for image rights infringement. Way to go Warriors!On a side note, since you're a San Francisco resident leedsunited, do you plan on attending any Victory matches at Kezar? We could always use another Leeds supporter in the bunch. I like to spout nonsense on camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
