    The red gear (current not throwback) should be our #1 road outfit and the black should be our alt.

    LOVE the red. Looks ace. Best uniform in the game to be honest.

    What would everyone think about home teams wearing their colors at home and white on the road like football, hockey, soccer etc?

    Question A: Red or Black as #1 road uni.
    Question B: White or "colors" at home.


    I will send our results to Becks Harlow with a box of chocolates explaining how I'll love her forever and if she really got to know me I'm sure she'd feel the same and the more she ignores me the deeper my resolve.

    Please vote now!

    I'm 100% with you on the Red-- LOVE them.

    I wouldn't mind seeing the home team wear the now-away jerseys as the home jerseys all the time.

    Red should be primary on the road. Agree that it is the best looking alternate uni in the league. I like white at home, but think that they should be able to choose whether to wear white or colors at home, i.e. the Cavs, who seem to have like 40 different unis for home...

    Disagree. Have always liked Black better. If anything, the uni should be redesigned to be completely black. Black stripes and name on a black background.

    I don't know how one could have watched the early 90s blazers and prefer the red over the black. Just brings back memories of those days!

    The Zers have been around a little longer than 1992.

    That being said I liked the black 1990ish lower case "blazers" font a lot.

    Hate the current font. Its awful.

    You can like the black but like the red better you know.

    NO. :NOTMARIS:

    I was actually thinking of this the other day. Dunno, the red doesn't seem as menacing on the road.

    I think that may partially why I'm so fond of the red-- They've worn black they entire time I've been watching them, and the red serves as a deviation from that.

    Also, red is my favorite color.

    I don't really care for the red all that much. I like the ones we wore last night, but I greatly prefer black to red.

    I like it how it is now. Black as the primary road jersey. Red as the alternate. White at home.

    The Black unis are my favorite....The red is growing on me, but I still prefer bad ass black.

    To tell the truth, they can wear pink....as long as they win.

    I do like the Red Jerseys. But The Home White's are some of the most beautiful jersey's in the game IMO.

    Maybe red actually helps us win?

    If it really holds true, it might amount to a point or two difference over a game. As close as NBA games are, that could be huge.

    I love the red! Actually, I think the Cavs are changing their uni's next year again.

    Just remember - a restraining order is just a way of saying "try harder!" :devilwink:

    As for question A, I love the Black. Question B, go Red!

    Couldn't agree more. If she didn't like me, why would she go through all the trouble of going to court and everything?

    The Red throwbacks are definitely some of the best looking uni's in sports.

    I hope they are more than just an alternative down the road. Make 'em permanent!
