White singlets

Perth should revert to black and gold.

The one that always throws me out is Perth v Illawarra games where one is wearing red with black and the other black with red.

I'd like to see 36ers in a gold away jersey, I like their colour scheme already but I think that the gold wouldn't clash so why not try it out and sell some merchandise.

Hate all the whites but most disappointing was seeing Cairns in white, I absolutely loved their navy jersey that they wore in Perth last season, just an absolutely beautiful looking jersey, the white was better than everyone else's white jersey but nowhere near what they had.

Refs don't look too bad in their green

Loved the old colour system, Cats at home in white, gold away. Swan Gold baby!

1994, from memory.

Having the Perth wear white against Illawarra, who would be wearing red, in Perth in front of 13,000 fans also wearing red, would be absurd.

There was nothing wrong with the old system, except people who don't know what cyan is and a lack of consideration for TV's limited colour gamut.

"White should always be the home team"

You do realise NBL used to do this but changed. Not sure exactly when though and why.

The Breakers jerseys aren't blue, they're cyan.

They've made some errors in the past regarding whether or not things were going to clash on TV, but then you also had people complaining that NZ were wearing blue (which they weren't) and Adelaide were wearing blue, and how could the NBL allow this despite both teams very clearly wearing different colours even on TV.

White should always be the home team, the fans know who they are and the visiting team should be in the alternate colours to build brand recognition for the league. The NBA realized this a long time ago, I'm not sure why we haven't followed.

The Bullets white singlets were the worst, looked terrible on TV very hard to pick out anything on the strip.

It's about time we dedicated more conversation to fashion in here. Good stuff.
AD is 100% right. And on the rare occasions that there is a genuine colour clash, it should be shirts & skins (skins for the away team)

It's for round doubles. Teams wear white so their primary colour doesn't need to be washed before the next (home) game of their double.

When is Cairns's second game this round?

Additionally, Perth and Cairns have had non-white alternates in previous seasons, which is no longer the case.

Perth also refuse to acknowledge the existence of colours other than red, but wore white in Adelaide. They've never worn their alternates except when playing Cairns or Illawarra in past years, back to the BA era, double-game round or not.

I liked the look of a couple of those ripped athletic men in the Cairns uniforms

Nba does it, it's a basketball thing in almost every league in the world. Usually white is home though. I'd say put your big boy pants on, check the schedule and look at the players.
