roxfan00 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Nets Try To Trick Fans Into Wearing Nets GearBy Barry Petchesky, 2:30 AM on Thu Aug 13 2009, 5,803 views Want season tickets to see the Nets? No, of course you don't. Will some Nets jerseys sweeten the deal? Still no, huh. OK, how about jerseys of the best players on other teams. Yes, it's that desperate at the Meadowlands...Deadspin.com "Mr. President, call in the National Guard! Send as many men as you can spare! Because we are killing the Patriots!

eRay Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 The worst part is they think the Lakers will be playing in their home Yellow jerseys. No wait, that is the least of their worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer15 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Is it actually considered reversible if no one ever flips it to the Nets side?

OnWis97 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This is hilarious. At least it would be if I did not think the T-Wolves are putting the same promotion together as we speak. Pryzbilla on one side, big Al on the other.I don't know if I saw this elsewhere here, but on SportsNation last night, they said the Nets are dropping "New Jersey" from their road jersey and replacing with "Nets." The implication was that it was to disassociate with a less-than-cosmopolitan place. But I suspect it's an early step in the move to Brooklyn. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Sodboy13 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This reminds me of the promotional campaign trotted out by the Bulls a few years ago, back when they were soul-suckingly awful instead of just easy-to-ignore bad. The ads basically boiled down to "Come see the NBA's biggest and brightest stars play at the United Center (while they throttle the Bulls by 30 on a nightly basis)!"It's an excellent way to establish that your team has absolutely no hope of being good before the first tip-off of the season.

DelayedPenalty Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Buy the package, get the jerseys, cut them in half, then sew yourself up a Garnett-Wade and a Lebron-Kobe reversible jersey! Dwight Howard can hang on your wall as a flag, and the Nets can be used any number of ways, such as:-dish rags-chamois for your car-toilet paper substitute-pet bed matress filler-hanky-etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thank goodness I jumped ship on the NBA and the Nets a few years ago and just don't care at all anymore.Pathetic.So now I'm only stuck with 3 garbage franchises instead of 4...

DustDevil61 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Maybe they should have two-sided Yi and Alston jerseys, one Nets, and one Sonics, to scare New Jerseyans into coming to the games.

JayJaxon Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This promotion would even be a tall order for Billy Mays to sell. I didn't even know the Nets still had fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 If it wasn't for Bruce Ratner buying the team, gutting it so he could move them to Brooklyn, then being unable to move the team to Brooklyn, the Nets would have decent mid-level attendence. As it is, they turned into the Nets that no one cares about again, and the franchise has slipped into the shadows of the NBA....and with the Knicks producing nothing but suck, what an opportunity wasted...
