Nets Ticket Package Includes Jerseys Of Other Teams' Players

Nets Giving Fans Who Purchase 10-Game Ticket Packages Five Reversible Jerseys

MAP QUEST: The Nets are among the teams targeted by a bill proposed by New Jersey Office of Legislative Services that would end the use of taxpayer dollars by teams that do not include "New Jersey" on their uniforms. FanHouse.com's Jay Mariotti said, "If you haven't heard this team is probably moving to Brooklyn where they have broken ground on an arena, so why would Jersey put 'Jersey' on the jersey?" ("Around The Horn," ESPN, 8/12). ESPN's Tony Kornheiser, noting the Jets and Giants also play in the Garden State, said, "None of the Jersey teams put 'New Jersey' on the jerseys" ("PTI," ESPN, 8/12).

SHOWING THEIR STRIPES: The Bobcats will debut new uniforms for the '09-10 season, with design elements including "orange pinstripes on the white home uniforms" and blue "as the primary color" for road unis. The design became public "about a month before the team intended" when trading-card company Panini released video of a recent rookie photo shoot. Bobcats Dir of Basketball Communications B.J. Evans said that the team is "still doing a final review of the new look" (CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.com, 8/11).
