So, for example, the Miami Heat have a very popular alternate jersey called the Vice jersey.

They wore it this year, but it was not their main home or away jersey.

So that jersey is disqualified.

We're just talking about your standard jersey.

Down the middle, this is your home jersey, this is your road jersey, as we understood it to be five years ago before Nike decided to say F you to that whole thing.

Well, there's a couple reasons why, right?

The in-universe reason is it is more representative of the entire state of Arizona, the Red Rocks of Sedona, which is very world famous.

So it's that red, that particular shade of red.

Then they should have told the people 10 years ago that don't do the purple jazz.

Here's the other part, right?

So the team, when it was created, the guy who owned it was a man named Jerry Colangelo.

Jerry Colangelo owned the Phoenix Suns.

prominent color is purple so he wanted the symmetry between his two franchises to carry over purple and purple that's why he spent a ton of money to win that world series and then went massively into debt and then they sold the team and when the new people came in and said well we want to distance ourselves from the old owner jerry colangelo we're going to give it some different colors the other out of universe really cynical way to look at this is

market studies.

There's just a lot of studies that say red and black sells.

Such a slender pool of candidates for Mike Ryan.

He's eliminated, not only has he eliminated all the things that are bad, just objectively, I don't like the way it looks.

He's also eliminated all the good ones if they've been wearing it for a while, which sounds kind of a little draconian if you ask me.

I mean, why'd you just check your watch?

Because I got an alert and I was trying to figure out.
