The early reviews are in, and it’s thumbs down from Clevelanders on the team’s new alternate gold uniform, which was unveiled Monday by team owner Dan Gilbert on his Twitter account.
Here a few of the comments from the Cleveland Plain-Dealer’s Cavs forum:
“They remind me of the outfit worn by a certain fast-food clown…”
“considering that a majority of the roster belongs behind the mcdonalds counter it is fitting.”
“Kiss of death. New uniforms normally signify that management expects the team to be lousy.”
“Again, I say these uniforms are downright a killer on the eyes. I’d rather drink Pepto on a empty stomach in the hot sun, with a blanket wrapped around my neck. Please Dan, you’ve done Great things in this community, don’t paint it this hot mess, and please boil the color out of the matching Wine colored ones. Wear plain white wife bearters and Bamboo shoots, but not this. Uggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Personally, we like the Cavs toaster better than the new unis. Thanks to Mr. Gilbert for posting a photo of that must-have item.
AJ. Dipshit. The removed the fountains for a few months because the flu epidemic. They have long since been returned. Crybaby.
The only arena in the entire country to remove water fountains over the same flu epidemic. Are you always this stupid, or do you just play the role of the fool for giggles and yucks.
Are there moderators that monitor these comments for trolls? If not, there should be.
You’re absolutely right, your comments should be deleted. The trolls are the people that have been hypnotized by a professional carnival barker, or are simply on Gilbert’s payroll.
To just take a few comments from the Cleveland.com story doesn’t make this work. Check Twitter, where there are more comments about the jerseys than there are on the Cleveland.com article – there are more positive responses than negative.
All of whom are Stevie Wonder’s relatives. Who are you kidding.
Gilbert is one of the worst majority owners in the entire freakin’ NBA. If this was 2018 instead of 2012, Seattle would be the Cavaliers’ next destination.
I like them. I personally love the classic look of retro jerseys as opposed to what happens when teams try to look too modern or fresh. For example, the Raptors Barney jerseys would have never happened if teams kept it simple. I prefer the current Cavs jerseys to those of the LeBron James era.
Simple is good. Their new jerseys are simple. These are good because it takes their current jersey and inverts the colors. Nothing wrong with that. Plus, their colors dating back to 1970 (with the exception of the 80’s and early 90’s) have been wine and gold. I like how they are paying homage to their original color scheme.
My guess is that the people who are complaining would prefer loud and obnoxious jerseys that ran rampant in the NBA in the 90’s.
No, the people who are complaining are the people that have enough brains to know they wasted two consecutive high first-round picks on future NBA vagabonds, next to nobody on that squad would start anywhere else but in Charlotte, and Omri Casspi belongs in an Israeli two-piece bathing suit.
They’re not paying homage to anything except to the power of dollars, the same way they grubbed for dollars when they had about 35 alternate jerseys when LeBron carried a bunch of stiffs to the playoffs every season, and the majority owner OK’ed that all the water fountains in an arena built with public dollars should be yanked out of the building so they could sell more at the concession stands.
I love these jerseys. Great vibrant colors
Minor league teams deserve minor league unis.
