[Kori Ellis]

As a way to thank Spurs fans, the San Antonio Spurs have teamed up with H-E-B to giveaway "Go Spurs Go" T-shirts to all 18,797 people who enter the AT&T Center as the Spurs take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, June 7 at 8:00 p.m.

The white t-shirts that read "Go Spurs Go" have the team logo on them and will unite the crowd as they cheer the team on during the NBA Finals. All fans attending the game that night are encouraged to show their spirit by donning the white "Go Spurs Go" t-shirts to show their support for the team. With a sold out crowd, the Spurs are looking forward to painting the AT&T Center with "Go Spurs Go".

Nope.

Wow... this forum has power.

Translation: Peter Holt had to fork over part of the cost of the t-shirts like timvp has been saying he'd have to do all along

[ObiwanGinobili]

It looks like a convention of milkmen.

It looks like a convention of milkmen.

Looks like a championship team to me.

[Kori Ellis]

Looks like a championship team to me.

Excuse UV Ray, he doesn't know what a championship team looks like.

[UV Ray]

Looks like a championship team to me.

Maybe that too, but they should have gone with black. Stay with the dark side image.

[jag]

It looks like a convention of milkmen.


it looks very clean...if anyone gets too excited and spills some shit...they're gonna stick out like a sore thumb.

[Leetonidas]

I would prefer black, but white will look just as good from my TV. :spin

[Extra Stout]

Man, I thought that said "wet" t-shirts.
Freudian slip.

[FromWayDowntown]

Black might make it look like nobody was there -- with the relative silence of the San Antonio crowd at times and all of the criticism that arose after Game 1 of the WCF, I'd think they'd want to be sure that the viewing public is aware that there are actually people in the seats in SA.

The question is whether those who creatively choose to wear lime green or purple to Spurs games can be bothered to cover up their color selections and participate in the event.

[Mr. Body]

This shit is stupid. The Spurs should act like they've been here before.

Lame.

:dizzy

Eh Spurs don't have much of a homecourt advantage right now. And there's nothing San Antonians like better than free stuff. If this gets them excited, I'll take it.

Well that way you'd have the element of surprise.

ya we've been there before... but never take for granted getting there and how few ever do... what's wrong with going over the top? people put flags on their cars.... flags off of buildings, etc... what's wrong with uniting at the att center? i think it's fun.

Passing out handbills with NBA Draft player synopses was a close second.

[ShoogarBear]

Man, I thought that said "wet" t-shirts.Now that's the kind of marketing genius we need working for the Spurs.

[ShoogarBear]

Okay, this presents a problem. Do I put a white T-shirt over my Gervin Mitchell & Ness road throwback?

Shows what fans can do by phone calls, emails and a forum. Congrats!

[spurschick]

And there's a 40' gold NBA trophy in front of the East Entrance at the AT&T Center. It's pretty damned cool.

[Sec24Row7]

Yeah sorry about being wrong on the color... my source and I were talking about people wearing black to the game and they said that T-shirts were going to be handed out the next home game...

I guess I inferred incorrectly that they would be black because that was what started the conversation...

[Avitus1]

Spurs to distribute T-shirts Thursday night

T-shirt time has finally arrived at the AT&T Center.

The Spurs will distribute white T-shirts emblazoned with "Go Spurs Go" and the team's logo to each fan who enters the building for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, the Spurs' Monica Taylor announced Tuesday night on The Charlie & Chance Show on WOAI (1200 AM).

Giving out same-colored T-shirts to fans for playoff games is nothing new in the NBA. The Warriors and the Jazz both did it earlier this postseason.

But the Spurs had bucked the trend - until now.

Prodded by WOAI's David Chancellor, the "Chance" in Charlie & Chance, and some vocal fans, the Spurs decided to take action and reach out to one of its biggest sponsors for help. The shirts come courtesy of Spurs sponsor H-E-B.

"We got a lot of feedback from fans and (the media) about how we could unify everybody and our sponsor stepped up," Taylor said.

"It's a great way for everyone to be unified," Chancellor said. "It's all about 'we,' and this is a way for 19,000 people to become 'we.' "

Taylor also announced that country music singer Clay Walker will perform at halftime.

Close enough.

Props :tu

[Budkin]

I can't wait to see this on TV come Thursday. Wish I could be there in person but as long as we get the W I'll be happy.

[UV Ray]

Excuse UV Ray, he doesn't know what a championship team looks like.

Ouch! Thank you... May I have another?

[RashoFan]

Clay Walker is the Half time performer...Damn I may have to scape the cash up and buy a ticket...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

http://i19.tinypic.com/5xptz4g.jpg
Not too shabby. :tu

[conversekid]

so many complained about the spurs not marketing the WCF etc... at least they're trying to do something... i know it's not tacos they're handing out... but the shirt will do.

[conversekid]

Not too shabby. :tu

Didn't Utah's have the name of the bank on the front and the Jazz on the back?

[ShoogarBear]

Clay Walker is the Half time performer...Damn I may have to scape the cash up and buy a ticket...I'll sell you the halftime rights to my seat.

[SequSpur]

what about the license plates?

[Avitus1]

what about the license plates?

Thats what I want to know! What do we got to do to get that going? The shirts are nice though, but license plates would be way cool.

[ShoogarBear]

what about the license plates?Do your relatives still make those?

Leave it up to Chancellor to take most of the credit the fans have been saying this for a while along with gregg simmons from Ksat o well as long as we finally have them

Exactly. Don Harris does the same thing. He once used one of my emails as if it was his own idea as well. Oh well.

Glad the T-shirt thing is gonna happen, but we better make it worth it. The damn arena better be freakin' loud.

[TDMVPDPOY]

WHO: All Fans at Game 1 of the NBA Finals

WHEN: Thursday, June 7

WHERE: AT&T Center

[rob5]

Most people whining about the t-shirts are just pissed off cause they won't be there to get one. And if they are going I don't think they'll be passing on it.

[SpursWoman]

white? wonder how that's gonna look... will it hurt the eyes?


Like an insane asylum ... just like it's looked in Miami for their last 2 playoff runs. It's very disturbing. :lol

[hater]

If Spurs need homecourt advantage vs. shitty Cleveland, they are in a sad state

[ploto]

I don't understand why they didn't go with black- except maybe white is cheaper. I have a feeling that people in black aren't going to want to cover it up with a white shirt.

[SpursWoman]

White is definitely cheaper. The logo looks good, though.

[ploto]

if anyone throws theirs up on ebay can you lets us know here?
After game 1, the Spurs will probably sell these t-shirts to offset the cost.

[hater]

I don't understand why they didn't go with black- except maybe white is cheaper. I have a feeling that people in black aren't going to want to cover it up with a white shirt.

black would look like there's noone in the arena.

[ploto]

black would look like there's noone in the arena.
No it wouldn't. :dizzy

Fans have been calling for blackout for years.

[ShoogarBear]

black would look like there's noone in the arena.That must be why it looks so empty for Raiders home games.

[hater]

No it wouldn't. :dizzy

yes it would.

[The Red Hood]

Well yeah Free is free

[Assman]

Can someone please translate this for me?

[greywheel]

That must be why it looks so empty for Raiders home games.

The Raiders stadium is an open-air stadium in California, so the Sun is almost always shining. That is very different from a darkened arena, but you already knew that.
I just hope the attending Spurs fans are as loud as Raider fans.

[Behrooz24]

http://i7.tinypic.com/4y8iwe9.jpg

They're gonna give out some kind of noise making sign too. On one side it say 'defense' the other it says 'go spurs go'. You fold it up like an accordian then you slap it against your wrist. It sounded pretty loud on TV.

[The Red Hood]

Exactly. Don Harris does the same thing. He once used one of my emails as if it was his own idea as well. Oh well.

Glad the T-shirt thing is gonna happen, but we better make it worth it. The damn arena better be freakin' loud.

Yeah WOAI pretty much sucks I have said it before and I will say it again but this is not the thread for that

[Bruno]

Spurs will play in Silver that is to say very close to white. I don't see the interest of having fans in black.

Reminds me the stupid Raptors. They have given red T Shirts while they were playing agaisnt Nets. Raptors were playing in white, Nets in red. :lol

[SA210]

http://i7.tinypic.com/4y8iwe9.jpg


Monica Taylor's kinda hot. :spin

[The Red Hood]

those acordian things louder than the silver bang stick thingys?

[The Red Hood]

is there any techniques or tips to winning tickets on ksat good morning san antonio or even on other news stations when they have the whole call in and be the 4th or 12th caller

[The Red Hood]

Monica Taylor's kinda hot. :spin
How does one become a Spurs PR

[ALVAREZ6]

white? wonder how that's gonna look... will it hurt the eyes?Miami does it.




Should have gone with black, that would be real crowd.

[The Red Hood]

I will say this though for a plain white T shirt the logo is nice hell of a lot better that Cleveland's Witness or beat Detroit or utah's true blue or even Golden states we believe

[SA210]

"Witness" the defeat of the Cavs.

[Extra Stout]

Spurs will play in Silver that is to say very close to white.
What? The Spurs wear silver on Saturday home games during the regular season.

[Bruno]

What? The Spurs wear silver on Saturday home games during the regular season.

You didn't get the joke, I should have put a smiley. :)

I just don't get why people wants black t-shirts while Spurs will play in white.

[BeerIsGood!]

The white will allow Matt Bonner to blend into the background and become a secret weapon at taking charges on Lebron. You can't avoid what you can't see.



Those little accordian style noise makers have been handed out since at least game 1 of the playoffs. I have several here at home, I'll sell to the highest bidder who wants to make noise at home. :smokin

[ploto]

Spurs will play in Silver that is to say very close to white. I don't see the interest of having fans in black.

Reminds me the stupid Raptors. They have given red T Shirts while they were playing agaisnt Nets. Raptors were playing in white, Nets in red. :lol
The Nets intentionally switched to alternate road jerseys to cause that.

Are the Spurs really going to wear the ugly silver? :oops

[pooh]

Clay Walker...guess Clay Aiken wasn't available. It should be a "black"out not a "white"out. I'm shocked HEB ponied up the bucks to do it. You would think that Holt "the tight wad" would do it, but not shocked. I'm shocked that it wasn't "WIC" night.

[LEONARD]

[veronicamae]

The question is whether those who creatively choose to wear lime green or purple to Spurs games can be bothered to cover up their color selections and participate in the event.


i have never understood people doing htat. you're going to a spurs game - why are you not wearing a spurs shirt or a jersey or at least a shirt that is white, black, or grey. ugh.

i'm very excited to get my free shirt. now i need to get there early enough because they'll inevitably run out, despite having one for everyone, because people are always stupid and ask for extras and the workers are dumb and give extras. here's hoping that's not the case, however. though i really don't like the thought of covering up my jersey - just a superstitious thing. the jersey is white anyway, and no one will see me in the 20th row of the upper deck ANYWAY. lol

i haven't made it through the last 2 pages yet, but if no one pointed it out yet - th ey gave those away at game 1 against denver. i still have mine - it is very loud and saves the palms from hurting by halftime.

[ChumpDumper]

no...condolences...get it right.For what?

The finals appearance?

Free shirts?

You picked the wrong horse a long time ago, poo -- because you're kind of an idiot. So live with it.

And you have my condolences.
