    WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH JERSEYS THIS YEAR?

    What is the deal this season with teams wearing their home jerseys at away games and vice versa? I've seen like 5 or 6 games already where this has happened. Is the NBA trying to be the NFL or what?

    I hate that too. I've only seen it for the Raptors and Suns wearing their alternate colored unis at home. It's really annoying. That was something I always liked about basketball. The home team always wore white, unless of course you're the Lakers.

          The Raptors had a reason to wear their Alts in the home opener as they wanted to show that they're now Canada's team with the red colour scheme and the modified TR logo with the maple leaf on it.

          I actually like the alts and I think they should be the regular away unis. I think that the purple has lived out its usefullness.

          As for teams wearing their coloured unis at home. I don't mind it once in a while. Basketball isn't like Football and Hockey where tradtitionally the home team wears their coloured. So i'm hoping this is just a short term trend.

                Um, hello? It's to showcase the new uniforms to the hometown fans, because they'll never get to see it in a game except for that time. What better way to bring in something new than amongst the atmosphere of a thunderously loud home crowd?

                Come on, people... think.

                            This guy's got the idea. I would also like to mention, that most of the new uniforms (not just the alternates) are UGLY.
