why melbourne have a black home strip? pretty sure Breakers were in the comp in black before united even existed?

I agree though

ditto RED

SEM should have been majority Green not black...

or you play it like NBA where home team is the light colour...

I know we in this forum either love or hate Bit Nagy but he did do a piece on this exact same topic not that long ago...

What colours should teams be if we are going with dark home vs light away (No white away colours)

Adelaide Dark Blue H Yellow/Red A

Brisbane Blue H Yellow A

Cairns Orange H Orange A (this is tough one)

Perth Red H ??? A (Or do they go back to oringinal state colours before the coke sponsorship)

United Black H ???? A (Go back to Tigers colours of yellow/orange/black)

Breakers H Light Blue ??? A

Sydney Purple H Yellow A

SEM Green H ???? A

Hawks Red H ??? A


couple of tough ones to pick if we dont want white away strip

whats wrong though if there isnt a clash for the team to wear its home strip?

provided you have two distinct colours it shouldnt matter

Team: Home, Away, Clash Basic, Alternate (usually Heritage or otherwise based)
=====================================
Melbourne: Navy Blue, Light Gray/White, N/A, Tigers
SEM Phoenix: Ash & Green (current one), Green (like they used in pre-season), White, Titans/Magic
Adelaide: Blue (current one), Red & Blue & White, White, Royal Blue or Yellow
Brisbane: Blue (current one), Yellow, Maroon or White, N/A
Perth: Red, Red, White, Black
Illawarra: Red & Black, Red & White, N/A, N/A
NZ: Black & Blue, Light Blue, White, Black & White (Tall Blacks singlet)
Sydney: Purple, Yellow, White, Black & Purple
Cairns: Orange, Orange, White, Black

^ I agree with this

I agree that for the most part it is pointless.
Perth is RED, that really only clashes with Hawks partial Red, and Cairns.

Sick of seeing teams like Adelaide have to come to Perth and play in White.

I don't know if this much science has ever gone into it, but I have always wondered if the lack of green strips in sport is due to the prevalence of green-deficiency in Northern Europeans.

My Dad couldn't tell the difference between pink and pale green.
(He also once bought the wrong colour paint for his car, because he thought his green Falcon was Gold)

I don't know, maybe those people have trouble distinguishing Blue from Yellow???

I think it comes down to the home team can use their preferred uniform and the NBL will approve the uniform that the away team uses and that it doesn't clash.

Home team should always be white so the away team can wear their true team colour giving attending fans a chance to clearly identify different opponents and different opposing stars. When fans watch their team on TV on the road they see their teams colour. The NBA has done it this way and it's sure worked for their marketability.

Can't have green uniforms......the refs are green :p

Comparing to the nba is relevant but also not, they have three times as many teams.
Also courts are branded for home teams unlike ours. The big bash has clearly had 8 teams/ 8 colours to create association. NBL is an older league but should think about doing the same.

Can't have green uniforms......the refs are green :p

A couple of seasons ago Adelaide changed their colours to gold and a deeper red to go with their blue... since then I have felt that the gold is so under used, if they were more successful then surely they'd wheel out predominantly gold with their blue and red strip and it would be unique and stand out... I hate the 36ers but they'd have a seriously awesome looking jersey (the other colours can be incorporated more or some white if the gold is too lairy.

I liked the Cj Bruton Hawks when they had some teal in their jersey and that could help break up the black and red but I do appreciate the grey in this seasons as they are trying something.

I know this is about how teams should stay away from dark but I loved the Cairns dark blue away jersey of maybe 3 seasons ago, it looked really nice

Wasn't the old NBA uniforms white for home and then the coloured uniforms for the visitors?
