anyone else think the team colours/uniforms in the cairns v breakers game were a poor choice?
No real colour clash in the singlets or the shorts made for poor TV viewing. One team in white shorts would have improved it.

should have been Townsville V breakers, not Cairns in the above post.

Yep, mentioned that under Team Jerseys thread.
They will obviously need to check with each other before the games. So hard to make out the teams and also might have been hard for the players.
Never been a problem in the past, even when everyone complained that all away teams played in white. Adelaide v Breakers both in blue. Crocs V Breakers in dark grey and black. How about Hawks white uniforms with white numbers I couldn't even read their numbers. Perhaps sticking by the rules isn't a bad thing. Colour clashes exist can't just say there different shades of blue people can tell the difference :(

LK and team will need to sort this one out like the NBA has.
Suggestions include:
- Team kit approvals day before games
- Each team to have:
1) One home coloured jersey
2) One white version jersey, for away games where colored jerseys may clash with home side.
3) One optional alternate coloured jersey
4) One heritage round jersey

If the colour New Zealand wore and the colour Adelaide wore had different names, would anyone complain about a clash? They're completely different colours, they just happen to have the same name.

The crocs vs breakers game clash was awful. Don't the crocs have another color strip or at least white? Why would they choose grey against black.

I didn't even notice the 36ers-Breakers clash until a few people commented.
Sixers/Breakers was fine (I wouldn't want to ref it calling both teams Blue but they contrasted)
Breakers/Crocs - why was Townsville in grey when Green would be fine, and isn't their second colour yellow or blue, anyway?

I meant second colour rather than the colour of the alternative

Breakers/Sixers was bad because, on TV, it looked like two 'home' jerseys, and unprofesional.
Breakers/Townsville was worse.

How, exactly, does a jersey look like a home jersey?

How important is it that you can read the numbers on a basketball jersey? I thought last night Kings v Crocs game the purple v grey option was okay, but I don't get the colour of the numbers on TVL's grey being green.
For me, we have just stuffed up some of these uniforms with simple and basic schoolgirl errors.
White numbers do not work on yellow tops, neither do red numbers on a black top and even worse was last night's green numbers on a grey top!
Just dumb, dumb choices IMO...
