No they don't. The league (Nike) gave the teams a uniform schedule



Bulpett: Deciding what uniform Celtics wear is no easy call

It's still taking some getting used to.


rocking colors at home/white on the road at times during the regular season is one thing, doing it throughout the playoffs and Finals is still weird to me.


Imagine Mike rocking white in Utah for that last shot :hhh: or Shaq & Kobe wearing yellow in Sacramento :scust:or Wade wearing white in Dallas when he snatched Cubans soul :huhldup:

This is disconcerting, on both sides. That gold shouldn't be seen outside of Staples. Likewise, the C's in anything other than white on the parquet is :dwillhuh::martin::scust:.

White jerseys at home was the dumbest thing in sports

I think it originated because home teams could wash their jerseys, meanwhile road teams on long road trips couldn't, hence them wearing dark jerseys.

But that was obviously a LONG time ago, lol.

I have no problem with it. Just have to get used to change.

One thing I wondered though is why Cleveland even bothers having the wine colored jerseys being their default? They barely wear them at all. They’ve worn dark alternates way more since LeBron came back.

Only in America, and specifically in American sports, do I hear about this thing of having to wear white at home. Y'all write y'all teams names on the field/court, but you still need a white jersey to know who's at home :dahell: If that's considered a tradition, then it sounds like a dumb tradition to me.
