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

Freudian slip.

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.

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

Lame.

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.

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.

Now that's the kind of marketing genius we need working for the Spurs.

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

http://www.retrothrowbacks.com/image..._Rd_Jersey.jpg

http://i19.tinypic.com/5xptz4g.jpg

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

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

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...

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.

SPURS WILL PAINT THE AT&T CENTER WITH “GO SPURS GO”
DURING GAME 1 OF THE NBA FINALS

WHAT: 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”.

WHO: All Fans at Game 1 of the NBA Finals

WHEN: Thursday, June 7

WHERE: AT&T Center

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.

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

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

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.

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

After game 1, the Spurs will probably sell these t-shirts to offset the cost.

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.

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.

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

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

Miami does it.




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

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

"Witness" the defeat of the Cavs.

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.

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

The Nets intentionally switched to alternate road jerseys to cause that.

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

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.

Tired bit...

and more "Go Spurs Go" ace-whippin'...

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
