Behold, The Great And Powerful LeBron!

Those green and gold are getting kinda old. The novelty has worn already.

I like the green and old alot better than those green and black alternates, but I agree it is time to put them away. And since when did we start to brag about being the first post on this board? That’s two days in a row someone has done that.

After starting undefeated, I’ve now lost two games. Pitt over Michigan State and K-State over Wisconsin.

Damn

with all the focus on ncaa sites yesterday, i was curious.
creighton made the nit, and as a low seed (3) hosted a first round game on tuesday 3/18.
now, qwest center was also an early round site on 3/20-22 (thursday-saturday).
had florida lost their first round nit game, creighton would have hosted san diego st on friday 3/21 also at qwest center creating a potential nightmare for facilities people.

the schedule would have been
3/18- creighton v. rhode island (nit game, nit approved floor and stadium set up)
3/20- 4 opening round games (ncaa games, ncaa approved floor and stadium set up)
3/21- creighton v. san diego st. (nit game, nit approved floor and stadium set up)
3/22 2 second round games (ncaa games, ncaa approved floor and stadium set up)

thats a lot of bouncing back and forth.
i cant remember in recent history another venue who had to deal with that situation (or if that 2nd round nit game ever came into play in conjunction with the 2nd round of the ncaa’s)

any help?[/quote]

I think Creighton would’ve moved their game to Civic Auditorium, since the NCAA has the Qwest Center from Wednesday-Saturday.

The A’s catcher wearing #24 in that Lew Ford picture makes me wonder what the A’s will do if they ever decide to retire Rickey Henderson’s number. Do they retire #35, the number he wore with his first stint with the team (6 years) or do they retire #24, which he wore for his next 3 stints with the team (parts of 8 different seasons)?

What, bottom of the ocean green?

The green and gold Celtic unis make a nice alt. As mentioned earlier they are now over exposed. Reminds me of the “Texans should wear their reds” movement here in Houston. Those made a cool once a year special occasion alt. Now we get them twice a year and the effect is lost. And wearing them as the regular shirts would make them just run of the mill. The lesson? All the time isn’t always better than some of the time.

Oh, and nothing says “I’m a loser” like “First Post!” I mean link.

False. They’re black. The black jerseys have been the Irish’s road alternate jersey for the last two seasons. There’s even a prominent ND basketball blog called “Black and Green.”

So, how many green unis do the Celts have this year? Let’s take a count:

1. Current green and white (with the vertically-arched “CELTICS” in the front).
2. The green and black alt.

3. The Hardwood Classic 1957 with the radially arched “BOSTON” on the front.

4. The St. Pats Day green-and-gold, which should be the second alt IMHO.

Am I right?

Back in ’05 or whenever Katrina hit the GaDome had something like this. In a matter of 3 days the stadium crew had to re-mark the field for the Peach Bowl, a Falcons game, and then the Sugar Bowl which i member haveing a huge mid-field logo.

A little change of topic, but I have a question on what makes a Nike School an “elite” school. I have heard that it’s for schools that have recently been to the Final Four, but as a George Mason grad, I don’t see any of our players sporting the “elite” tag.

And now with the new “There Are No Cinderlla’s” ads running every break which show App St and Boise St, but no George Mason, I’m starting to think that Nike doesn’t like Mason very much.

Ok, I didn’t mind black alternates but now its getting waaaay outta hand for me. Teams shouldn’t wear black unless its part of your color scheme PERIOD!

The Celtics should just kill the current alternate and make the St. Patrick’s Day uni their OFFICIAL ALTERNATE…WORD!

Madison Sq. Garden does this all the time. They switch between the ice/bball court sometimes even in the same day. Not that big of a deal[/quote]

At reliant stadium in Houston where they are hosting the south regional this week they’ve got to change the whole stadium which has been hosting the rodeo for the past three weeks into a basketball arena. I’m not sure what all they need to do but i would guess they have to pick up the tons of dirt covering the floor. I know that they are putting in some sort of new style of temporary seating.

love the Celts green n gold.

As far as MSG is concerned, I don’t think they have ever done hockey to basketball on the same day because they are afraid of the court being wet probably. I think they have only been doing it since the NHL lockout, the first time being that 15-round shootout the Rangers had against the Capitals which followed an overtime or double OT game by the Knicks, so the timeline was sped up, but it was a good day, as I believe both teams won.

As sacreligious as this is, I’d like to see the Celts green and gold replace the green and white as their road uni. That thing is 10 different kinds of sweet.

The new seating was purchased by the NCAA for use at the Final Four, to maximize attendance and to increase the number of tickets available to the students of the participating schools. Michigan State utilized the seating when they played the game at Ford Field back when the place first opened, and the NCAA liked the idea so much they decided to make the investment themselves. There was an link about it yesterday.

congrats to your wildcats…

Notre Dame has had black alternates for a few years now. They’re sort of akin to the green jerseys in football, although I think they’ve been overused this year. But the team does appear to play better in black, with the obvious exception of last night.
I actually like the way the black jerseys look. I’m generally opposed to black for the sake of black (e.g. Detroit Lions), but I actually like the Notre Dame look. I think the whole “black and green” idea does a good job of separating the basketball team from the football team, which kind of has a trademark on blue and gold.

I’m pretty sure Adidas has countered Nike’s SOD line with their own – BAH (Boring As Hell) – worn by Arkansas, Indiana, UCLA, NC State, Arizona State. I also wish Mississippi State would simply go with “State” or “Bulldogs” on their kits. And don’t even get me started on Texas Tech.

Notre Dame wore those terrible black jerseys at home in the NIT two years ago. They should wear blue, green, gold (like the Adrian Dantley years), or white; but not black. At least they’re better than the hideous highligher yellow that Digger brought out in ’91 for one game.

Well if the Old Town Celtics want to make the green-and-gold the road uni, swap the gold with the white and add gold trim to the green letters and numbers on the white unis.

And I think Indiana and UCLA just hold onto tradition with their adidas unis. Arkansas and NC State won championships with the unis they had in ’83 and ’94 respectively, so their coaches went old school to speak.

Too bad the football teams loves having blue and gold, because the Notre Dame colors apply to everyone, each team. To give up those colors to the football team is slightly… ridiculous. Blue and gold is how ND is known. I might even throw green in. Those are our colors, not just the football team’s.

The team can play pretty well in black, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a questionable addition to the ND color palette. ND should give the green and gold look a shot. Or basically get one standard home and away jersey with a stable color palette… what are those called.. oh yeah, a UNIFORM uniform.
