I think it's actually the court design. I heard we were supposed to get that this week.

Re: New color scheme?
In a league where it seems like half the teams wear blue, I like the unique green look.

Re: New color scheme?
I'm sorry but the Wolves marketing team is really screwing this up. This whole "9-15-17" teaser is weak as hell to begin with. Then, they don't even release anything during the 9-5 workday, when (let's be honest) most people are going to be available to discuss it on social media and sites like RealGM because it's Friday at the office and most people are slowing down their workload for the week. So they release it during drivetime/dinnertime? The majority of people check it out on their phones if they get an alert from BleacherReport or something. If they don't get alerts, they completely forget to check because they're most likely busy hanging out with friends or kids or spouse or whatever on a Friday night. Seems like a noon release so people could check it out on their lunch breaks and then talk about it on twitter and get more clicks/mentions throughout the day. That's how social media marketing works, dummies.
(i swear i'm not as worked up as it may seem. it just seems like something really easy that they're F-ing up and it's mildly annoying.)

It looks like Nike has some big event in Los Angeles tonight....I'm guessing they'll get the reveal and it will go on social media after that.
But yes, I've been refreshing Twitter all damn day long.

Right? If I were them, I'd be releasing little teaser photos every couple hours. Or let's say it's the reveal of the assumed green jerseys, just post an image of something like this:
Just dumb stuff like that to get people talking.

Doesn't look bad in action.
Just not a fan of that color in general, but at least it stands out from other jerseys

Re: New color scheme?
It's bright, that's for sure. I'll take a unique jersey over the same bland crap any day of the week.
What's with that weird off black 'Bklyn' jersey?

It looks decent enough in 2k, will be interesred to see how it looks during a real life game.
There's meant to be one more jersey right?

I'll have to tone down the color on my TV on the nights they wear these to keep from having a seizure.

This is the biggest thing for me. For years we've complained about sharing a color palette with other teams, but this is one thing we can point to as uniquely ours.
BTW I much prefer this color to all the yellow ones that were unveiled (Denver, Indiana, Utah). There's probably 5-10 others I prefer ours over too.

I won't ever use the features and probably won't even buy a jersey, but technology is fascinating!

Re: New color scheme?
I guess I will be called an old fart who yells at clouds but I couldn't care one bit about the tap in bit. Yes, technology is awesome but I really don't see the point of this other than satisfying lazy peoples' need to be exactly that - lazy.
As for the jerseys, I really like the neon green. But, once again, the big block of blue around the collar is just horrible in my opinion. The contrasts of the colors are really nice but I wish the navy blue would have been mixed in in a different way.
One other thing that is great about the neon green is that you can hardly see the fitbit logo.

I have always liked bright colors so I was probably going to like some bright uniforms. I think setting our colors apart was important. We have always had too similar jerseys and colors to the Mavs. Now these stand out in a crowd.
