....it really isn't that important.

Most uniforms are made in Asia as far as I know.

yes and no James, its not that important, it is however a reflection of some poor profesionalism.

Can you imagine the NBA allowing a player to play without his name on the singlet, as Jokker said, it really isnt that hard to do and the spelling of Hodge is something even i can manage. I hope its sorted for the game on wed, as we will look foolish if he turns out nameless again.

I see your point.

Honestly though I'm more interested in the fate of our supposed new scoreboard.

me - coach do, player follow

Yeh wheres the new scoreboard! I forgot about that.

hahahah brilliant SVD

Hodge has asked that anything with his name on it be removed from public scrutiny?

Gold

Normally teams will have 2 blood singlets (different numbers).

Guys, could I tell you some stories about the uniform situation?
Julius' jersey is only the tip of it.
Before anyone flames, I agree, the situation is an absolute disgrace & I urge you to get answers from admin@(you know the rest).
Best of luck.

Well, No. Its NOT an absolute disgrace.
It's perhaps a little disappointing.
That's all.

Let's keep things in perspective.
He could play nude for all I care. The point is HE CAN PLAY. We've picked up someone who we think can add significant value to our program.

THAT'S what's important.
The other stuff will follow.

The fact that DDFan is involved in it is part of the reason that the 36ers uniform situation is an absolute disgrace.

Good call Sector7G

Sorry Jokker, I've hi-jacked your thread.
My bad.

Not so isnt it the little things that make a team successful dont they say the 1% add up so it may not be a big deal but still very unprofessional.No scoreboard we were promised that just another thing that doesnt really matter.Got to wonder though how many other things are not done properly or done whenever attention to detail does seem poor in this area

Anonymous, you still haven't learnt that I don't respect Anonymous posters. Sheesh, it's even in the forum guidelines.
I ask, how many posts has "Anonymous" started/responded to in the last 6 weeks?
We have a winner.

A few people are trying to buy 'Hodge' Singlets
but, none available , of course.

Those shorts...

Do you really want to bait him into replying more?

Anon, see the guy crying up at Bill Russell? What has recently happened to DD is what's about to happen to him. Let's leave it in the past and get on with things.

Unrelated, but fun story relating to jerseys.
Jordan (back in 1990) turned up for a road game against Orlando and found someone had stolen his jersey. The only team spare was number 13, no name on it. MJ played the first half in this one, but was so uncomfortable, he went into the crowd, found a dude of similar size, and swapped jerseys with him - offering to return first jersey (signed) after the game.

Later, he turned up on an Hoops card, which showed Otis Smith (?) scoring against Jordan wearing 13. Bulls requested they pull this card, and replace it with a different pic (which happened immediately). It's not THAT rare, but in interesting find ...

Melvin, not to get fussy, but it was #12. I have the card if anyone wants it but it's on one condition. It comes with the entire set and sells for a bucketload. I was sure I was on a winner with those Hoops cards but sadly, they never turned into the fortune the guys at Proball and US Gear told me they would.

ITS VERY IMPORTANT! Ask the NBA store if names on player jerseys aren't that important.... $$$$

I thought that it was really bad as well. Its little things like this that reflect bad on the club and league as a whole re him not on live scoreboard. At worst bring the singlet to pro-bowl or some other place and put a temp name until that get the legit jersey.

Stop SHOUTING. It wasn't potato chips it was Chiros that they ran out of......

Well no suprise there, once again no name on the back of his singlet. Do you think Julius would be thinking he's obviously only here for s short time if we are not even going to bother getting his name on the back of his singlet???

Joke!
Unprofessional!
Embarrassing!

your choices, am i referring to the singlet issue, or the game last night?

Hmm...perhaps its the same answer?

ISC canned their uniform deal with the league midway through the season. That's made things a little bit harder. Could try just taking that blood uni and getting something "close enough" stitched on.

That said, until it was mentioned, I hadn't even noticed that his singlet was blank. Might've been more confusing for the people who don't quite know who's who.

hehe, Isaac,

Julius is pretty easy to pick out from the rest of the team.

I'm sure the Champs Sports crew who have been doing the names/numbers on the replica jerseys for 36ers would be able to put Hodge's name on that blood uniform.

Maybe all teams should just have a number 00 singlet with "TEMP" on it.....just for imports.

me, you'd think. But I heard someone behind me at the game last night get Ballinger and Hodge confused! Might've been their first game.

hahaha...well..thats fair enough then... i mean.. Hodge and Ballinger very hard to tell apart.

I heard that they have been offered the lead roles in the stage remake of twins

need to get that singlet fixed ASAP

:)

Isaac,
Just as an aside, in perth EVERY seat is supplied with a 4 page game program, showing pics of the wildcats team, numbers, nicknames etc and also the line up of the opposition on the night.

Thats the sort of thing that makes things better for newbies helps them to become involved and take ownership of their team. (and just maybe encourage them back)

Gloss, professioanlly produced. Wouldnt think it would be to hard to produce something similar at the dome, bit of advertising support how much could it cost to print even only 5000 and hand them out as people entered?

Maybe include a special offer/voucher on it... for a low crowd game..buy one get one free...or a competition to gather a mailing list?

ahh so many ideas...let the club know i work on retainer lol

:)

Clubs maybe get a few extra singlets at the beginning of the year, but they are too dumb to think forward and get sum extras just in case. They only worried about their next home game (at the beginning of the year its the 1st home game), so as long as they all got names and number 4 week 1, the rest of the year goes out the door.

Then when they ring Asia 2 get sum more, they cant find the factory that made them or they wont return any calls, pretty simple answer.

Congrats 2 the clubs that do this and get their new names and number son quickly.

Just borrow a dozen crows jerseys - no names, just numbers - problem solved ..
