    I just get angry when I see this, given how the Rockets were rejected by the league when they requested a black alternate.

    Nothing but a black and white color jersey for the city of New York -- no mention of "NETS," just "BROOKLYN" ... have to think it's going to be a popular seller.

    Why was a black alternative rejected? What's so bad about black jerseys? Too gangster/hip hop influenced?

    Stern is a racist and doesn't like the colour black, that's why he doesn't like black jerseys, 'black' culture (hiphop), streetball attitude etc.

    Black isn't and has never been a part of our color scheme. It isn't necessary to have a black alternate. Black and white is Brooklyn's new color scheme, hence the...black and white jerseys. I agree with the league in denying us. We don't need a black alt. Neither does New Orleans or Denver or Detroit.

    and yellow is part of our color scheme??

    Raptors/Wolves/Kings have black alternates and have none of those have black on their schemes or logos

    I wish they actually had these as "official" alternatives

    Don't like the font, and the jersey looks like a practice jersey for the Spurs.

    Is this post a joke? All 3 of the teams you mentioned do have black in their logo

    I just don't like them. Maybe the simplistic design wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting some intricate designs on it, with some gold perhaps. Not just black and white. Feels like the Spurs; its their trademark. Like Purple and Yellow for the Lakers and Green and White for the Celtics.
