Just a quick question...

Sun Nov 02, 2003 11:32 am

I noticed that when Denver played Houston on ESPN, the Rockets were wearing away jerseys, and I saw highlights of Toronto playing with the new red jerseys at home. Is the NBA changing the home and away jerseys where the home jerseys are no longer white but colored?
I also noticed Lakers were wearing their home golds on opening night at Staples, so maybe it's just for tv...

I noticed this as well.. last season somtimes teams would do this when they would wear retro.. but i dunno.. they should keep it how it used to be imo

Yep, agree the Rockets were wearing the Red jerseys I think for the fans to get a first look at the Road jerseys, same thing for the Suns (Orange) and the Magic.

Even though the red Toronto jersey is an alternate road uniform, the Raptors will wear it at home a couple of times this season.

The first season with a new jersey they get to wear it at home a bit to show it off for the hometown.

Yea, they do that whenever a team has a new uniform, they play with the away jerseys for the first time at home to show the home fans their new jerseys, its nothing to do with home or away, just another way for the NBA to make money..... letting the fans see the new jerseys in real life.... those games would probably be more packed then the regular home whites games.
also.... gold has always been the Los Angeles Lakers' home uniform.... the white ones were the alternate ones they wore once in a while

:? Where else do you want them to wear thier home jersey's, if not at Staples Center? :?

i think it is that "on the one hand - on the other hand" case, look:

on the one hand he saw the rockets and raptors wearin their new road unis at home, on the other hand the lakers still wore their home unis at home, so this is quite confusing...

makes sence, doesnt it? :wink: oh well at least thats my thery
