Hello Celebritys

Here are a couple of new stories concerning jerseys and uniforms from Tuesday that I thought I would pass along.

First off, the Washington Wizards unveiled their new home and away uniforms for the 2011 season.

The home uniform is white and says “wizards” in lowercase navy type. The road jersey is red and says “Washington” in white — again, lower case.

The jerseys include horizontal stripes, like Bullets jerseys of old.

The shorts have a star on the side and a “dc” logo — yup, lowercase. And apparently there is a “W” somewhere, though models John Wall and Jordan Crawford were unable to find it.

I love the changes! I was a fan of the old Bullets uniforms, so I am glad they decided to go back to the red, white, and blue. I wish they were able to change their name back, the “Wizard” mascot is super lame.

And in college football, one of those teams that have always had a tradition uniform is finally changing things up, at least for one game. InsideSoCal.com reports that USC will wear an alternate uniform for their game against UCLA this season.

OK, we have details on the alternate uniform emerging for the UCLA game. Ready?

It currently looks like USC will wear cardinal jerseys, cardinal pants and a black helmet.

This sounds like the ugliest uniform in USC history. Or something Oregon would wear. Which is what Lane Kiffin wants.

Black helmets? Sounds bad, but I will wait until I see them to judge.

Adrian Wojnarowski wrote a piece today about Del Harris leaving the Nets, but the most interesting comments from Adrian were not about Del, but the Mavericks.

From Yahoo Sports:

There are several teams – including Houston and the Dallas Mavericks – watching the dynamic between Evans and Kevin Martin and wondering whether the Kings will become motivated to trade Martin. So far, their talents don’t seem compatible…. The Mavericks have their eyes on Philadelphia’s Andre Iguodala and Sacramento’s Martin, but a source says they’ve lost interest with the Washington Wizards’ Caron Butler

There have been a couple different things said and done by Mark Cuban lately that makes me think the Mavs might actually do something before the deadline. Then again, with the economy being in shambles and the possibility of changes to the salary cap, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the Mavs just kept rolling with this same team.

The Mavs dropped their home opener 102-91 at the AAC Tuesday night. Let me make a few observations.

- I was disappointed in the defense. Especially since defense is something Coach Carlisle preached and tried to improve during training camp.

- The 2 guard hole still haunts the Mavs. Fans were expecting Josh to be playing there but he isn’t healthy so Dallas went with Quinton Ross. Ross had an ok game defensively but only contributed 2 points on the offensive end. Dallas did get contributions from Jason Terry and J.J. Barea but those guys are a defensive liability.

- I like the toughness and defense that Drew Gooden brings to this team, but he took a few ill advised shots during the game.

- Dirk had a pretty good game, but his shot wasn’t falling like normal as he went 10-for-25. Despite that, Dirk still finished with 34 points and was 12-of-13 from the line. Dating back to the last season, Nowitzki has now scored 20+ points in 26 consecutive regular season games – the longest such streak in the NBA

- Where was the Kris Humphries from pre-season? I thought he would be able to back-up Dirk and be a decent player from what we saw in training camp. He only played 5 minutes and was not very effective.

- Gilbert Arenas looked nice!! I’m glad to see Agent 0 back to his old self. He battled through 2 years worth of injuries, but totally appears to be healthy now. The Wizards can be a really good team once Jamison returns and everyone else stays healthy.
