The Miami Heat debut their new, darker, alternate jerseys

[JonLP24]

The Miami Heat have unveiled new, alternate, road jerseys for use in about a dozen games per season. As you can see from the picture above, the jerseys are decked out entirely in the color black, with a wee bit of white trim.

To these eyes, the jerseys are pretty cool. You can never dress in black and look uncool, but the alternate uniforms do seem to fly in the face of LeBron James' month-long hope for he and his Heat cohorts to stave off looking like the NBA's villains as they attempted to win their first ring together.

1. Q Douchebags ---5----4----3---

[Auggie]

2. What's not to like?

I don't get the italic numbers on back, though. Bad use of type.

[joeybee12]

3. I think you'd have to see them on the players to judge...

...how ugly (moderately) or really ugly (blindingly) they are.

[RockaFowler]

4. Here's LeBron in it

[joeybee12]

5. It looks brown!

[madinmaryland]

6. It will work really well for three quarters...

[Auggie]

7. LOL

[hughee99]

8. Nice, they could wear these during one of their special promotion nights.

Sell tickets for 75 cents and advertise as "Come see the Heat play for only three quarters!".

[trumad]

9. Uhh---it appears they played all 4 against the Bulls and Celtics. eh?

Like I said---Q the Douchebags.

[hughee99]

10. But in the larger sense

they choked at crunch time, the "4th quarter" being the finals. You can't post a "Suck it you jealous Douchebags" thread and then not expect people to give you shit EVERY time you post about the heat. You'll continue to get this until the heat win MULTIPLE championships.

[trumad]

11. silly silly silly

They beat your Celts which the Celts were favored---they beat the Bulls and they made it to the finals where they fell apart.

And guess what---at the beginning of the season many many experts said they would not go that far in their first season together.

Yes---their first season playing together and they were a couple of games from winning it all.

And major props to the Mavs for their epic comebacks against the Heat.

The shit I'm getting is simply form Jealous Douchebags who know the Heat are easily in the top 3 of B-Ball teams in the league.

Now suck on it.

[madinmaryland]

12. As Huey99 said, until Lebron can will the big one, that nomiker "4th quarter" choker will stick

with him, just as the choking rep has stuck with Tony Romo.

heh! Compared LeBron to Tony Romo. Apologies to Tony Romo!!

[trumad]

13. Sorry---

Wade has an NBA championship....

Wade plays for the team I root for...

Again---Q the jealous douchebags.

[madinmaryland]

14. Shaq won his title in Orlando with help from Wade. Wade hasn't won

a title with LeBron, nor has LeBron even won a championship.

Sounds like you are the jealous one!

[trumad]

15. Jealous---

First of all---Wade won in Miami---not Orlando.

Second---I was the first guy in this forum last season to say that the Heat wouldn't make the finals in their first season together. I thought it would take a couple of seasons. I was wrong and so were a lot of other people.

Them making it was icing on my cake.

Jealous---I'm fucking delighted at how well they played last season and can't wait to see them destroy the league this season.

[hughee99]

16. Yes, I've been looking for my "Suck it" thread about the Celtics everywhere

and I can't seem to find it. Maybe you can help.

The "knock" against Lebron BEFORE last season was he didn't come up big when the team needed it most. You started the trash talk and had a bunch tell you basically that. Those people were proven right last season! Maybe this won't always be the case, but the naysayers were saying this would happen and it did... just like the people who predicted that Brett Favre's first season with the Vikings would end in a bad pick at a really bad time.

I 100% agree that the Heat are one of the top 3 teams in the league, which is what makes it so funny that they won't manage a championship again this year.

[trumad]

17. ahh the beauty though

Is my team has a hell of a better chance than your old man team.

[hughee99]

18. See, I think your team has the same chance

of winning a championship as mine. Basically none. Yes, the Heat will look great during the season and even show up strong in the playoffs (and maybe make the finals), but they won't win. My Celtics should be playing in the Shady Acres retirement league and will be lucky to field a team after all the back-to-backs this season.
