AT&T Center finally giving shirts to Spurs fans?

[bklynspursfan]

Just saw this on Twitter. For some reason I wanted them to use black shirts, thought it'd look pretty cool. But just glad they're doing it now. I'm assuming this is the first time they're doing this this post season but if I somehow missed it my bad lol... Hard to miss though.

It's been a while since the Spurs did this, but it's certainly been done before for playoff games.

[smaka]

Nice gesture!

[Budkin]

Why do they refuse to do black? That would look so badass.

Thought it's been done before, just not yet in this post season. Seems everyone else has been doing it.

[bklynspursfan]

That's exactly what I was saying. The black hole or something, it'd look pretty sick

[spursfan09]

How much do you want to bet they don't wear them?

XXL is too big!

[Ditty]

+1 Hopefully for game 7, or game 1 of the finals...I wonder what the shirts say. The last time they did this for a playoff game it didn't end well :depressed

[freetiago]

went to a home game in 08 and they did it
i think its kind of stupid but i guess they want the fans to be in it as much as possible because of the impact of this game

the shirts they give are horrible quality and usually XXXL because of the whales
people who work for the arena also come around telling you to put the shirt on

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who gives a fuck if the crowd get free XXL shirts!? with that said...Spurs have done this before (Game 1 and 2) against Mavs 2 seasons ago. One of which was a black out and hardly anyone participated in the lower level.

[tediousj]

Dumb. I've already expressed by hate for these gimmicks. Lemmings

Send me one if you wont wear it :rolleyes

[Budkin]

Those spoiled sons of bitches in the lower lever better wear them. And be fucking loud!

[spursfan09]

Nah I use it to sleep in.

[Ditty]

Normally the shirts are X-large from the black, and white ones they have handed out in the past.

[texbumTHElife]

They have done it before and I was at the game and the majority of fans didn't even bother to put them on. All the most diehard Spurs fans STILL prefer to watch the games at bars away from the arena.

[honestfool84]

can someone post a picture of the Spurs all black shirts in the arena? i would love to see that, and i've always wished they would give black shirts out instead of white...

[Creation88]

confirmed by my rep. tonight is a white out.

[Legacy]

Dumb. I've already expressed by hate for these gimmicks. Lemmings


B-b-but a thread will be started as soon as we win tonight because of these shirts' POWAH... then we'll all be wrong again. :cry:cry:cry

[Horry Hipcheck]

I like it. Show a little solidarity. A black out would be awesome, but whatever. As long as the 19k in the arena tonight bring the noise.

[Keepin' it real]

Those spoiled sons of bitches in the lower lever better wear them. And be fucking loud!

Hey now, I'm not spoiled. Besides, I have to wear my lucky outfit. We're undefeated in games this year when I wear my Duncan jersey. (It's white, so I'll blend.) :downspin:

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Black tees cost more

[Ditty]

I know they had a black out last year during the hornets game when we lost the 2nd game of the season.

[Steve-O-Matic]

Hate that we're doing this, if true. This is what teams who've never "been there before" do. This makes it look like we're scared of the opponent and have to resort to finding every little gimmick to try to help the team out. Thumbs down.

Please, Spurs did this in the '07 playoffs as well. Some of y'all will bitch about anything :lol

[Steve-O-Matic]

Please, Spurs did this in the '07 playoffs as well.

And it was silly then, too.

[CosmicCowboy]

shirts are dorky.

[SpurinDallas]

Should have given out white towels to wave instead, like in the NHL playoffs. That looks cool

[stxspurs]

How much do you want to bet they don't wear them?

XXL is too big!

More like too small. Xl shirts on beer bellies don't mix

[crc21209]

Geez, make up your mind people! First, some of you were bitching..."Why dont the Spurs give out free shirts?" And now that they are doing it, it's stupid? Please...it's pretty damn cool if you ask me. For one, you get a free shirt, and you get to say you were at the actual game where shirts were given out instead of noise makers. Would you rather have a shirt, or a noise maker? And for the people who want a black out, yeah it would be cool and look awesome...but 1 problem...the Spurs wear white jerseys at home, not black! It's like when OKC gave out blue shirts at home and then Dallas wore their blue jerseys on the road, so the move backfired on OKC! :lol Secondly, the white out should bring fans together and unite them to rally behind the team. It also looks pretty cool on TV...:tu

[Trainwreck2100]

spurs fans that have been here the longest, know that shirts a bush league and unnecessary. None of the great franchises did them in their title runs.

[Legacy]

Silver shirts?

[Salty]

Hate that we're doing this, if true. This is what teams who've never "been there before" do. This makes it look like we're scared of the opponent and have to resort to finding every little gimmick to try to help the team out. Thumbs down.

Calm down. If you've been to a playoff game this year you'll have seen that the games are lacking a true playoff atmosphere. Hopefully this helps provide that.

[crc21209]

It's just a shirt! :lol Would you rather have noise makers/clappers than a free shirt? I'm pretty sure you'd take the shirt....

[CosmicCowboy]

The shirts are cool if you wear them playing bball or at the lake. They are dorky if you wear them at the game with the other sheep. It's like baseball caps snow skiing...you don't wear a Crested Butte hat at Crested Butte...you wear one from Aspen or Steamboat or somewhere else.

[mexicanjunior]

Probably felt like they should give the fans something since this could easily be the last Spurs home game this year. Pretty nice gesture by the organization...

[Trainwreck2100]

I'd rather it not look like the team belongs in AAA

Spurs do it at least one time in the playoffs almost every year that I can remember in recent years and I've been a season ticket holder for 13 years.

This is the first time they are doing it this year, but with good reason since this may be the last game at the AT & T Center. I hope not though!:toast

White shirts area a little more distracting. Hopefully the Spurs come out READY to play for the fans.

:nope Hey.

May as well stand until the first basket as well while we're copying OKC.

[Spursmania]

What? Game 2 was loud and awesome as was game 1. The crowd is not OKC or Utah but those are the few exceptions to NBA crowds. The crowd was pretty damn good and we feel the big difference in the atmosphere.

We were standing and screaming the whole time. And, we're in row 17 of the lower level and yes everyone around us was screaming their ass off as well. I'm almost fainting from screaming nonstop.

There are some older people and lardos that r either too old to get up or too fat to move so they sit on their asses, but those are the exceptions at least around us. I too get pissed when I see them just sitting there stuffing their faces with more dogs and nachos instead of getting their fat ass up. The team needs us.

[DesignatedT]

Don't care that the Spurs are doing this but don't expect it to turn out great. Most of the Charter won't even put on the damn shirt. That's why it's stupid.

[Spursmania]

:nope Hey.

No worries. I do believe we will win tonight, Legacy! BELIEVE!!:toast

we did it in the finals in 07 and i hardly felt like it was a way of showing how scared we were of the cavs.

like someone said earlier, this brings fan unity. no matter who we are, where we come from, we are all spurs fans and for a night we will all wear the same color together (hopefully) and cheer our team on

but it only works when everyone does it. otherwise its going to look retarded

[CosmicCowboy]

So are they white wife beaters?

[TE]

:nope Hey.

Feistayyyyy!

[Keepin' it real]

Yep. Just click on the siggy to see even more of my evil-bitch feistiness. :devil :lol

[Spursfan092120]

We were doing this before OKC was even a team. Spurs do it every year in the playoffs..why is everyone freaking out about this. We did it every year we won the title (except maybe '99..can't remember that far back) but in '03, '05, '07, and everywhere in between we had a game where we got shirts. It's not to rub it in anyone's face...it's about unity..as a team..as a fanbase. Quit with the "we're a big league team" and "we've been here before, this is bush league" bullshit. We need everything we can get to bring this team and it's fans together right now.

Baseline bums do that so we could just say the rest of the stadium copied the traditions of the bums.

[King]

All white would be a lot more noticeable than all black.

I'm all for the T-shirts. IMO it will make the environment even better and result in a larger home court advantage.

Whoah. WTF was that??

I almost spit my water all over the damn computer screen. :lmao

[Solid D]

If people wear them, the only problem I have with white shirts is that OKC is fairly comfortable playing with a background of a sea of white. Why make them shoot in a comfortable setting?

Free stuff is a nice gesture by the Spurs, but keep the shooting background "uncomfortable" for the opposition.

Just making OKC feel more at home. Classy.

I disagree. The Thunder know damn well they're not in OKC because instead of cheers they will hear boos tonight and cheers for the other team. You also have to take into account that the Thunder don't wear white jerseys on the road, so they'll be looking at enemy colors tonight....

Kinda like the Mavs fans with their bright blue shirts when they were against the thunder this year? I swear... I was laughing my arse off. It looked like OKC were playing on their own damn court the entire time. They looked mighty cozy there, IMO. Gimmick backfire much?? :lmao

I don't believe it will be like that at all here, though... if most people wear the shirts, that is. ;)

Just hope that our players don't get blinded by all the whiteness. :p:

[SA210]

My problem is, if they were going to do this, they should have done it from the start of the playoffs, I love the tshirt thing, but waiting till now does look like desperation.

Should have been doing it from the start. And Holt's cheap ass should have done silver or black, or a mix of both. F the white shit.

On the bright side it creates a slightly different environment than games 1&2. Just a slight change that gives the Thunder a feeling that things are different that the first two games.

They did have a black out before I should know cause I was there. They should do a black and silver like the thunder did their blue and white. Now that would be bad ass.
