2012 Heat Playoffs Theme: Back in Black Again?

From what I understand from this, I guess we're ditching the White Hot Heat to go Back in Black again? Either that or im just misinterpreting this completely.

Would love to see the Redzone again in the future, though.

They said they'll have back in Black games this season, not sure about playoffs.

But they might if it's the main theme

I love it. Those uni's are awesome.

Can we have a retro theme for the play offs and have classic heat uni's? Are we allowed to do that? Though idk where the rest of the fans would pick up the retro gear.

All this "Back in Black" hype, starting with the jersey unveiling, seems to be leading up to it being a play off theme.

I have a feeling that they'll want to get away from the white hot since it didn't work last year. But they did have white hot when we won in 06. The arena just looks so sick when its a white out, and the players are in white jerseys. I doubt they'll play the whole post season in the black unis, but I do see them using them as the alternate instead of the red. The blackout to me was used during the the "dark" time of the Heat/Wade experience. But maybe this year can bring it to life? Either way I just hope everyone wears whatever color they ask, because it makes the arena look sick.

Can't discount that the Heat are doing it as a preventative measure against Dwyane's migraines. So far he's on his way to running the gamut of injuries.

The Heat are only wearing the Black-Out jerseys six times this season for big/important HOME games. Also, the next two home games against the 76ers and Bucks, they'll be wearing the new Home Floridian jerseys!

Sweet! I'll be at that Sixers game. I hope there's a new intro video for that one too. PEACE.

This black jersey that we are debuting against the Lakers is new, never been worn before. No red on it.

The Floridians jersey is garbage, it makes me sick.

We used these a lot during that 07-08 season, I love them -

I don't like the Floridian jersey's either. I know they are the Miami Vice themed, but I feel nausea when I see them. I don't know why.

Then the Floridian jersey's in white? It's better black lol.

They really need to stop with the Floridian jerseys, they're awful. They sucked when they used them to wear them, and they haven't gotten better hahaha. I'd stick with the black or red as the alternate. Also I wish they'd bring back the retro jerseys those shorts were the best.
