"NBA hopes to see some green from St. Patrick's Day jerseys"

John Lombardo, Staff Writer, Sports Business Journal, August 29- September 4, 2005

The NBA is planning to have select big market teams wear special jerseys tied to the St. Patrick's Day holiday next year..."We will be wearing special St. Patrick's Day uniforms, and I love the idea," said Steve Schanwald, executive vice president of business operations for the Chicago Bulls...Schanwald did not say what the Bulls' uniforms would look like...NBA merchandise officials were not available for comment, but sources said plans call for the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks to don special St. Patrick's Day uniforms. The Knicks host Detroit on St. Patrick's Day, while the Celtics play Orlando...Last year, the Knicks, Bulls and Los Angeles were the top three teams in merchandise sales, with the Celtics seventh..."We're looking into a lot of things, but nothing is confirmed at this point," said a Knicks spokesman.

Nate:

Hell no to green on any knick uni! Sacrilige! Let celts do what they want. Add more leprechauns, four leaf clovers, yellow moons, blue stars....what ever. Thats their gig!

And I am cool with St pattys by the way, but Green unis are the Celts colors! Maybe some lime green tint to the Whites would be ok. Red Sox would never wear Pinstripes! We don't wear Green!

What next, Black uni's with gold chains for Columbus day? Blue and orange Yamalkha's? for Passover? Women wear berkahs for Ramadon? Zoot Suit warm ups for Puerto Rican day? And What about gay pride day? Christman day was gonna wear special Santa red and white uni? Ball boys dressed like elves?

i dont want to see the knicks in green either... maybe a teal blue or something for the day, but otherwise, no dice.

What's the big deal? Kind of like Brendan Suhr said regarding the salary cap, since we aren't the bill-- who cares? I won't buy a jersey, but all the other stuff that has nothing to do with winning I could care less about. They can wear any color they want if they put up a competitive team.
You know I gonna spin wit it

Sorry, but true Knicks tradition dictates we NEVER wear Celtic green in honor of a Celtic holiday.

Knicks in green? I can't picture it.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

when no one buys the jerseys and whatever else their trying to push, they'll drop the idea.

But- what brain surgeon came up with this idea? I mean, lame.

I miss the Christmas day games that used to be just knicks- like turkey day for dallas and detroit- tradition- if it ain't making them green, they ain't keeping it.

They want to boost merchandise sales?

How about putting LeBron in a knicks uniform! Just Do It david stern!
