Sixers back in Blue

good idea joshua, that would work really well i think especially on free to air as well. i wonder if they will be doing that for the sprint auto parts cheer squad?

Kind of a benign fact to be disputing, Fact seeker? Or are you just an anti-Boti troll?

What ever colour the Sixers are in.....I just hope everybody gets onboard.

Go you good thing............lets start the count down!

Isaac...there's a good opportunity - count down to game 1!

I would say Kickz problem would be Adidas only offering the same NBA players as Footlocker and Rebel, were I think they want wider range of players and kids sizes like they've had before. Adidas minimums would be at a least 100 jerseys per player I'd say. That's a lot of stock to take.

Had a sneak peak and quite like the crisp look of the white one, agree with the font/outline as Isaac mentions.

The blue does seem a little lighter than previous versions.

And 1 to my knowledge is doing league wide uniforms. And 1 - Australia is run by Fiddes Sport which as mentioned also have the rights to New Era - Australia so some basic team colour hats may well make their way out ;)

Like the new uniform and change to blue,would be ideal though if each team had 3 different uniforms just like the Breakers last season.

Re Kickz, Too much player movement between February and August. You don't want to be left carrying Toronto or Cleveland playing tops with the names Bosh and James. Their demand goes down real quick if they were to leave their clubs and go to a team like...oh lets say Miami.

I imagine there will be a better selection come November.

Kickz 101 is pushing to range the whole leagues uniforms and will be selling authentic New Era NBL caps, since Fiddes distributes And 1 & New Era in Australia. The caps will be pretty basic not over the top I've heard.

Watch for Ballinger at 49seconds.Must be tiring coming back from NZ or was it Israel?

He's just rebounded a Hodge missed jump shot and is trying to hold his laughter!!

He looks like he's just detected someone dropping their guts in the keyway.

left arm....you can edit the image and send it to him!

Isaac - is that sample photo Mike Mckay with no hair?!

I like the new Uni. Just looks solid, much like the celtics/lakers jerseys, not to much going on, simple and effective.

Are they going to use white as the away color? maybe they could use the red for that? Not sure if that would create any clashes.

I'm a big fan of this design. Judging by the Sixers email, its for the long term (sorry, I don't know how to make the quotes look nice!)

"...this move has been taken to ensure the 36ers stand alone in their look whilst still maintaining our state colours as part of the uniform, and will be a change for the long term."

Does anyone know how many more sponsors are to be added? Inevitably there must be a few more, I'm guessing HoodSweeney would be on there somewhere? Hopefully they don't clutter it up too much!

I don't mind the blue but I disapprove of the wildcats having a claim on the red. I think that right belongs to the sixers, Hawks and Tigers (red being those clubs original colours).

The wildcats original colours were black, gold and white til 1989 when through Emu/Swan sponsoring them they introduced the red then in 1995 Coke took over and they ditched the gold. I always like the black, gold and white.

That said, I understand why the wildcats would want to retain the red. I'm disappointed the sixers forfeited the right to use red many years ago.

That uniform looks sick..About time we had a decent looking uniform.
Might weven get my name on the back of it now as wouldnt mind one of them. lets hope they keep it for a few years

Hooray for no more Comic Sans numbers!

Blue makes sense...and it looks good too IMO.

Last weekend i travelled to melbourne for the Nunawading Basketball Carnival where my team played in the U18 Girls A reserve. I found that we had some close games except for one team who were clearly the best. What is the point of teams entering divisions which they are too good for? i dont think that it is very good for the teams that have to play against them and get thrashed, it leads to an uncompetitive grand final and leaves a dampen on the weekend.

Aw - noticed Groves 6 and Burston 22

Haven't seen the Advertiser. Might see something on computer later today or tomorrow.

I seem to recall - AND1 or sponsoring NBL and supplying uniforms - may have something to with it.
Maybe.. ?

I noticed we are training in blue (and yellow)
