I think they was just trying to win over NY fans since Knicks still dominate NY. I never got the impression they forgot about New Jersey.

Hated the red ones.

Meh, their whole rebranding process was all about trying to forget NJ and try to take over NY. Definitely rubbed me the wrong way. It's great that Brooklyn has a team again and all, but NJ was where this team had its most success since their ABA days, and it's where the majority of the fanbase is from, let's be honest. NY is a Knicks town, always will be. Yeah, as newer fans grow up, we'll get more and more NY-based fans of the Nets, but the majority of the fanbase now and for the foreseeable future are NJ Nets fans, and it definitely felt like the franchise ignored them and tried way too hard to cater to NY basketball fans for quite a few years.
I think bringing a popular former Net like RJ to the broadcast booth, and doing more things to honor the NJ Nets are big steps towards acknowledging and appreciating the NJ Nets days, which are near and dear to most Nets fans' hearts.

The navy blues were my jumpoff.

It also helps that one of the franchise players is a legit New Jersey Nets fan as well. The fact that Kyrie already had a pair of the throwback shorts before the team debuted them speaks volumes.
