NBA Shirts

What is with pro sports and their desire to make the officials look anywhere between silly and absolutely ridiculous? The new NFL shirts/jackets are bad enough, but the NBA shirts are the worst I've seen since whatever football league was using red in their shirts.

If you haven't seen them, they are made by Adidas, thus, three football style blue shoulder stripes coming down the arm. As bad as that is, there is the wide panel in BLACK!

I don't think the NBA shirts are hideous, I'm not a fan, I liked the old ones. However, the NFL shirts are ridiculous. I always welcome new styles, such as the new grey ones for high school, which we cant use in texas. But I dont like the pro ones, but I bet if I HAD to wear it, i could stand it.

Tjones, the black pants will look weird.

Why is it that many people feel like they have to mention NOT being a fan every time they mention anything about the NBA?

Probably because many people aren't fans of the NBA anymore.

It's a personal preference and everybody is entitled to their own.

I understand you totally. I just think it is almost as if people feel like they will get looked down on if they like the NBA so they always include the fact that they aren't a fan. Most of the discussion here is about officiating and IMO there is no question that NBA officials are the best in the world. Just my opion or personal preference.
