will there be a specific t-shirt sold or given away, or will any black t-shirt do?

Do it guys! It looks so cool!

I will be wearing all black as will my fellow hostesses.

If you show up in a non black shirt, I am going to send you to the restaurant to work for me and I will take your seat in the arena. :)

They also tried this for the Rockets game... didn't work too well, huh.

It worked well for Game 1 of the Finals, when they actually gave away white t-shirts at the door.

Asking many Spurs fans to adhere to some particular fashion idea in preparing to attend the game has shown itself, over the years, to be unlikely to succeed.

They think giving the season ticket holders shirts will be enough to do it but they need to pony up the money and do it for everyone as they walk in the door - that I would support. Is their any media coverage about wanting to blackout the arena in SA right now? That's the other thing is I never saw the local news stations advertising stuff like this.

Seeing as how San Antonio is typically on the list of top 10 Fattest US Cities, getting people to wear black won't be a problem. :smokin

HAte to say this, but not alot of unity amoung season ticket holders. How many times in past have they had this same plan with little participation. Sad, but true.
Heres hoping it actually changes

Black out of the AT&T center would indeed be very cool. We sometimes see bright colors but I don't remember seeing a black out.

That Yellow at the Warriors arena during the Playoffs was awesome.

Even when they gave out the white t shirts for game one of the finals, not everyone put them on. When the Heat were in the 2006 playoffs they had a "white Heat" promotion where they told everyone to wear white. They didn't have to give out anything, everyone just did it. It looked really cool. Spurs fans will never do that. I don't know why, but I wish we would.

That would be awesome to black out the place. I'll definately be wearing a black shirt to the game but i'll probably be one of few. The problem is that a lot of the seats that get shown on t.v. are corporate seats and the people that sit there are probaly only there because they have tickets. If you notice, a lot of the people that sit towards the bottom don't even wear any gear. They look like they just got off of work.

I've always thought to myself the lower bowl (especially near the court) always looks fiesta-ish... everyone is colorful, not much spurs/nba gear. The upper bowl tends to have most everyone decked out in Spurs stuff. I wear black to most games lately because most of my newer Spurs shirts are black.

Yeah i got season tickets in section 206 and everybody is always all decked out with thieir Spurs gear. It would be awesome if everybody would wear some kind of gear. Especially the ones that get shown on t.v.

You people should attend in black, but not in Spurs gear. Wear some Pantera, Slayer, Megadeth, etc. t-shirts. Some spike bands and military boots. And be fucking mental. Shout really loud stuff like:

- "AMAREEEEEE, I AM A FRIEND OF SATAN! THE LORD OF DARKNESS HAS DECIDED YOUR PUNISHMENT IN HELL. A 1000 YEARS OF PUSHUPS FOR EVERY DUNK YOU MAKE!"

- "NASH YOU FUCKING HIPPIE TREE HUGGER. I WILL BIT THE HEAD OFF THIS CHICKEN AND DRINK ITS BLOOD!"

- "D'ANTONI STOP CRYING YOU FUCKING EMO!"

- "REF YOU SUCK! I WILL RIP YOU LIVER OFF WITH MY HANDS AND EAT IT IN THE NAME OF LUCIFER!"

Now that would be awesome.

Despite the loss tonight, you San Antonians shld do wear black during Spurs games more often.

I saw a photo of last night's game. Seeing spectators wearing black all over was awesome. I just feel sorry for those who went and came home disappointed .:cry
