Digby Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Is it true that the NBA simply categorizes all unis as "light" or "dark" and leaves it there? Can't be, given that the Cavs wear their gold alt (which is surely light) against white teams sometimes. At any rate it seems like more nuance needs to go into these decisions -- Charlotte in teal works against most dark uniforms (even blue ones if they're navy), but not Boston's.

walkerws Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Maybe I'm wrong but I only seeing the teal contrasting well against white jerseys. This matchup shouldn't have happened. They should have sent them back to change into hte home whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorMade Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Maybe that whole "white at home, color on the road" idea wasn't so bad afterall.BTW, weren't the Hornets primary roads supposed to be purple? I swear they have worn teal almost every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDesign Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yes. Just from a quick eye test, they tend to split white and teal at home, and wear purple on the road.Looking at their last 10 games it's almost a perfectly even split:Teal vs. BOSTeal vs. NYKWhite vs. CHIPurple @ ATLTeal vs. GSWWhite vs. PORWhite vs. LACPurple @ MIAWhite vs. ORLPurple @ IND3 Teal, 4 White, 3 Purple.

mafiaman Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Now everyone is wearing those t-shirts, a bit surprised they are allowed to wear shirts with messages on- - What for instance the US invaded/attacked a country and you were against it, would you be allowed to wear a shirt with a political message saying perhaps "stop bombing, i can´t breathe" or other clever stuff. where do the league draw the line......there can´t be a line, so you are allowed to wear whatever you want, or is it only what the NBA bosses think is the right opinion ? Of course they could. It's called freedom of speech. You should look it up sometime. It's in this thing called the Bill of Rights.And after reading through some of your other posts on this thread, you realize that you sound like a huge hypocrite right? While advocating your own right to free speech your debasing professional athletes that same right.David Silver will tolerate this "free spech" right up until the moment a "DEFEAT ISIS NOW" or "FREE TIBET" t-shirt pops up, at which point he'll put the hammer down on it.

Guy with Machete Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Freedom of speech? Ain't no such thing in the NBA or any other league. When you play in an NBA venue, you play by their rules. And if the NBA says you can't "can't breathe" or call for the establishment of a racially pure Alabama, there's nothing you can do about it.

Shadojoker Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 JasonfromMiami only understands things that affects his portfolio on Wall Street, interest accruing on his lake house in the Hamptons, or his handicap at "Above All" Golf Resort. :-/ Silver is ok with it so far..so let them play AND speak their mind please. "I Can't breathe" is a lot more subtle than the "Black Lives matter". S/O to Kevin Durant for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenTino Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Finally saw a new Swingman replica in person today. I like the cut better than last year's model, but other than that, man, what a serious drop in quality.The material is definitely cheaper, and the letters, numbers, and NBA and adidas logos are all heat-pressed instead of stitched/embroidered. Didn't stop them from making the price $10 higher this year. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
