As-if we don't have enough to talk about... new unis?

Someone decode this, please....

Not the first mention of new uniforms  - both Ressler and Koonin mentioned briefly this past offseason (I think it was then) ...like he said 'Stay Tuned.'

However, there's so much more juicy stuff than uniforms in this Q&A.  This one for example:

There were some people who felt like one of the big reasons why the Hawks traded for Trae on draft night two years ago was because of his marketability potential. The team has been desperate for a star. Even when the team had 60 wins, there wasn’t really one player where a casual fan would probably say, “I want to watch Paul Millsap or Al Horford tonight.” With you being the CEO, what can you say to that?

I wish Travis would give me that power. That could not be more untrue in the world. I read that, and I laughed, and I loved it because it could not be more untrue. The day Travis lets me draft — I’m not going to let him do the marketing and sales. I think the idea is to be partners. By the way, Luka (Dončić) is a huge draw. We are sold out against Dallas (on Saturday). Luka has a lot to do with that, as does Trae. It’s a storyline, and storylines create relevance, and relevance drives attendance and viewership.

They better not screw up the unis again.  Stick with red and yellow.  I don't care about volt but if there's any friggin blue on the unis I'm going to lose it.

It's okay to modify what we have in some way, I suppose, but I like the uniqueness of what we've got, and the thought that went into it. Don't be tryin to sell me on anything that doesn't still involve the red, the granite, and the volt colors, or that gets away from the triangles.

Lose the ugly triangles for me.

IIRC, The triangles were mentioned by Ressler, not a fan - might be going away.

thank goodness.. its not as bad on the white, or red, but doesn't look good to me on the granite.

Tony, you've got fashionistas in your ownership group who invented this thing... leave it be... they've created a look that is only ours and will only be ours... don't be that team that never builds a brand b/c it's constantly changing.

My Faves: Granite, Red, then White.  The volt lettering on the white hurts my eyes.
