CubsFanBudMan Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I seem to remember the Suns officially de-emphasizing purple when the last unis came out (or perhaps somewhere along the way.) Wasn't gray already considered above purple in the current hierarchy?It was either in a press release posted here or perhaps the "preference guide" ColorWerx referenced, but it was definite something official that dictated the use of orange and gray over orange and purple. I agree it's a shame, but we'll see what they come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighCheese Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 this was in Houston, but mehbtw. Rockets haven't worn the regular roads in a loooong time. I've mentioned it before, anyone know anything on a possible upgrade to the Rockets set next year? It's just curious how often they have worn the alts this year. I can't remember a team that wore alts as often as these Rockets. maybe the navy blue lebron cavs? but not this often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 What's funny is that when the Houston Rockets faced the Orlando Magic in the 1995 NBA Finals, the Magic only wore their blue alternate and not the regular black away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's a shame, but we'll see what they come up with. The NBA dictates the preferences as a guide for marketing and broadcasting, but that doesn't always translate to actual on court wear. The Suns certainly did prefer Orange and Gray in the - now past - uniforms.I haven't seen any of the new designs, but here's the new color palette - how I've been able to put it together:Once the logos and uniforms are unveiled I'll probably adjust the color order there.

Wilt Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Would love to see theseI think playoffs is not a place for throwbacks, one-time alternates etc. It looked really weird when Nets used throwbacks in the finals. Each team is supposed make their own history in the post-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discogod Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 That dark orange is horrible, especially with the black & dark purple.I'm already dreading the uniforms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I think playoffs is not a place for throwbacks, one-time alternates etc. It looked really weird when Nets used throwbacks in the finals.It did look weird, but considering the reason behind it (first NBA Finals with two former ABA teams), I liked it.

Wilt Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 It would have been cool if both teams did it. Otherwise, it looked like "we gonna loose, we've got hardly any supporters, so we have attract the attention in a different way" to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordub Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The Nets are lobbying to wear black at home to complete their blackout. Assuming the Bulls would wear red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Would love to see theseI really don't like the idea of wearing throwbacks in the playoffs. Championships, memorable games, and memorable performances should be played in and remembered by the team's current uniforms. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Kramerica Industries Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Do the Nets often wear their road black's at the Barclays Center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Do the Nuggets often wear yellow at home? Weird to see two color vs. color games, and in the playoffs no less.EDIT: Also, "blackout" looks like no one's there. Not so sure that was a good idea. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure that was a good idea.Nuggets do wear that uniform at home every now and then.Blackout is fine with me really. It may look like an empty arena, but if the crowd is loud, it's kind of eerie and that could throw opposition off just enough.Does the NBA actually have any rules regarding jerseys, and what you have to wear, and when?This year teams have worn more colored uniforms at home. I don't think there is a hard rule that home teams must wear white and this year it showed that it can be flexible Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTernup Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 We've actually worn the yellow jerseys at home quite a bit I'd say 15-20+ times. The nuggets have only worn it a handful of times on the road.
