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.
absolutely sickening... yeah Clutch... I had the same thoughts/feelings about this the second I saw their logo because we all knew this was coming. More basketball reasons fo' sho'
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 but with red loops
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.
The Rockets are RED AND YELLOW in their history... and the Wolves, Raptors and Kings all have black. Wtf
