TFoA Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm going to miss this alt, if it's really going. FWIW, I loved it. It reminded me of how funky the uniforms were back in the 70s and 80s. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Here's a question for everyone:Why is it that in baseball, football, and hockey, we're totally accepting of jerseys that don't match the pants, but it looks so weird in basketball? Is it just because we're used to it in those other sports? Or is there a deeper reason?I'm not against basketball shorts being a different color than jerseys, I just think these Wizards uniforms look awful.

JayJaxon Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Those gold jerseys were cool. That's too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheo25 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I prefer the Wizards' gold alt to the mass green that hits the NBA for St. Patrick's Day or Earth Day or whatever excuse used for a non-green-wearing team to wear green.-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just because we're used to it in those other sports? Or is there a deeper reason?I would think that it has to do with the socks perhaps? They tend to have the sock color match the jersey, and it probably makes everything look more complete; whereas in Basketball you don't really have that. Add that to the fact that the jersey is a lighter color from the shorts... I personally think it probably would've looked better the other way around.

IceCap Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I liked them. They blew the primary set away (which I admit, isn't hard to do). Oh well. They won't look right until they're the Bullets again anyway.No Jews in Texas?They don't take to kindly to our type around those parts.

The_Admiral Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Might as well, though I always thought it sounded too close to "Bulls." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just because we're used to it in those other sports? Or is there a deeper reason?The only things I can come up with is maybe that the tall players and baggy shorts just make it look very silly, and the speed of the game makes a single color vs white look easier to follow, though I think it might just been convention. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 How about retiring the ridiculous "Wizards" name and going back to the BULLETS!I would vote for Wizards to be the worst nickname in all of North American major league sports. (Even ahead of Ducks as a name for an Ice Hockey team. Seriously, have you ever watched ducks try and cope on ice? Poor things can barely stand up!) But Wizards is doubly bad- its just bad and its alliterative, which is always bad as well. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
