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.Quote:

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.
Close enough.Quote:

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

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.Quote:
