The Spurs' unis are silver. I'm not sure if they are the same silver we saw a few years back. I hope not.

That would be funny if they came out in short shorts for a half.....

If it's some of the badass silver uniforms, I'll make sure to buy one, no matter the damn cost cause I've been lookin for a good retro Duncan/Parker/Gino jersey for awhile ... though I'd prefer a Robinson one.

I just looked at the schedule and noticed it's only home games (silver). It's a shame they won't have the black this year.

I hope they're the gray and not the silver ones. I'm not a big fan of the gray uniforms, but those silver ones from 2004 were disgusting.
