Are we getting new unis? 

Post#1 » by RichBoy923 » Thu Jun 11, 2009 3:13 pm

I thought I heard some rumors that we are getting new unis for this upcoming season. Or is it that we are just ditching the orange ones for good?

If you go to the team shop and click on the jersey tab, this is what comes up: http://store.shopbobcats.com/bobcats-jerseys.html

If anyone has any info on this let me know.

If it were up to me I'd ditch the name seeing that Bob is now trying to leave.

We are broke. Don't expect anything extraordinary.

Maybe we start wearing trash bags. And i mean not only during the green week.

If I were the owner...or MJ took over...I'd immediately change the colors and possibly the name to give the franchise a fresh look, even though we are only 5 years old. I'd go with gold and black...... closer to Wake Forest gold than App State gold.

You and I have been on the same page when it comes to team colours since day #1. Black, gold, white and silver would be sooooooooooooooo sweet!

No I knew that, I was just wondering if there was some redesigning going on.

I don't like that black/gold... It's basically the Saints.

I think they should either go with the Blue unis with the checkers on the sides or adopt some kind of pin stripe setup like we had with the Hornets.

Screw the blue. They should have stuck with the orange. Everyone has a blue jersey (or blue alternate) now. Blue:2000s :: Black:1990s.

I think the colors are fine and unique, they just need to do a better job of incorporating them into the jerseys.

I'm in the minority when it comes to uniforms. I've always hated red and black uniforms (Bulls, Heat, Raptors, etc...) also I've never been a fan of Orlando's, they look pretty goofy. I think silver would be awesome, same with gold because you don't see it very often, yellow as well, and then definitely green (not enough green in the NBA). Boston, to me, has always had the best uniforms followed by the green ones Dallas used to wear. Those were mad wicked. I would be all for bringing back those green jerseys we wore during Green Week, but I know a lot of you guys hated those though.

How about we have silver, black, and orange pinstripes on the blue uni,
silver, blue and orange pinstripes on the white uni,
and if we keep the orange unis- silver, black and blue pinstripes.

Besides, Charlotte is First in Pinstripes! Can we put that on a license plate?

I would love black and gold. It will look like the Saints unis but anything is better than blue and orange.

Take a look at the colours of the little bastard. It SCREAMS black, white, silver (and a little gold)

They should SO be our colours (in saying that, the orange is wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than the prison issue blue we now rock)
