(Aside: Notably, it's an entertainment show, not a news one. Otherwise, maybe we would have gotten some of his philosophy on the business wisdom of being "truer" to his beloved entertainment industry than to the considerably large subgroup of fans of his Hawks team who voted-in GA representatives who happen to think differently than he does politically.)

Adding credence to Ressler's comments and the common perception that Atlanta is the most popular place that NBA players call home...

... Atlanta having the highest per capita of any NBA city.

Marietta, incidentally, shows up at #7.

Well I guess that certainly kills that other thread that assumed Ressler would move the team. I kid, I kid. Mercy! lol

I really want to see another franchise in Seattle by the name of the Supersonics fwiw.

They also confirmed we’re thankfully getting new uniforms in 2020

I missed that.

Hope we're not doing a total re-do. I like what we've got.

I HATE what we got. I wouldn’t be surprised if we go back to red and gold. Looks like that’s what happening in College Park as well as our 2K League team.

I’ve been in love with these concept uniforms for years. With a couple tweaks to the font, I would never complain again if this happens to be our uniform set. I actually expect it to be somewhat similar to this.

I like a uni that people don't even have to see what's written on the front to know that it belongs to the team. You see a baseball team in navy pinstripes, you know where they're from.

So, don't mess with my triangles. And don't mess with my volt/red/charcoal combination.

Beyond that, I'm open to revision.

I like the 96-97 uni's.

I hope we stay as far away from yellow as possible.

The benefit: if we have red/yellow color we can be sponsored by McDonalds.
