Road jerseys

[isguros]

I noticed the Bobcats often wear their road jerseys at home games (at the Heat game most recently) does anyone knows why they wear them? Is it that some "fans" need to be reminded that the Bobcats are from Charlotte?

I think teams do that every now and then to show off their road uniforms to the home crowd, so they don't have to see the whites 41 times. Its just a change of pace, kind of like the alternate and throwback uniforms that teams wear for the home team.

I do kinda like the blue at home - I think those ones are pretty sharp. I wonder if they'd ever do a throwback to the salmon-colored uniforms from the Jahidi White era.

They do it for the reason QCT said...they want to show off the blue's to the home crowd.

And in turn, hope some people buy a road jersey because they saw it in person.

Thanks for the answers, it sounds like the Bobcats need a alternative jersey.

I got a Kemba away jersey for Christmas, first real Bobcats jersey, and I requested an away one. I just can't bring myself to wear that huge CATS across my chest. Charlotte looks much better.

Absolutely. "Charlotte" looks much better.

Why did they leave out the BOB part?

Why did they leave out the BOB part?

That is the question my friend. Likely they left it out as a way of rebranding the team and distancing this team from past failures. Plus nobody liked Bob Johnson and his BOBcats
