NBA Green Week

This has been  NBA Green Week.  For some reason, a professional basketball league feels the need to preach to me to be more eco-friendly.  Whatever.

To commemorate the week, the Bulls wore green uniforms vs. the Sixers.



Charlotte also wore green against the Sixers.


And Denver wore green.  (Apparently, the Sixers were unavailable that night.)


NBA players were also outfitted with 100% organic cotton t-shirts to wear on the bench.

Hey, I applaud their initiative.  But you gotta believe that the league was also thinking about a different green when they came up with this idea.

  1. So that's why they wore green? How ridiculous.

  2. Ridiculous is the perfect word.

    My wife... first of all, let me give her credit for watching The Masters with me today... but she said to me "Gee, Tiger's wearing red. Will that be on 'Uniformity.'" (Yes, she used a sarcastic tone.)

    But my response was "no", because he always wears red on Sunday. That's his uniform. 'Uniformity' is about teams NOT wearing they're typical uniforms. There's nothing I hate more than to see a team wearing a uniform color that isn't one of their designated colors.

    And I'm not above criticizing my favorite teams, either. My alma mater's basketball team often wears black on the road. Last I checked, Temple's school colors were cherry & white.
