Cavs Uniform Decision
The Cavs are back in the playoffs. It's the first time the Cavaliers have been in the playoffs since 1998. Because of uniform changes, this is the first time the "wine and gold" have seen the postseason since 1977. Yet the Cavaliers have chosen to go with the dark blue tops in the first two road games of this series. Why? Here's my theory.
Before Game Three
Mike Brown: OK guys, I think we should wear the wine tonight, in honor of Austin Carr, Campy Russell, Jim Chones and even Nick Mileti. We should honor the Cavaliers' history, the Cavaliers fans, and the new legacy we are trying to create with a nod to the past.
LeBron James: I like the blue ones coach.
Mike Brown: OK. Blue it is.
I think the Cavs will go with wine tonight though, to change their luck, or something.

I think it's just pure sports superstition, like when the Indians abandoned their gray road tops for about two years in the 90s, or like when the Browns entirely ditched their brown jerseys in the late 80s.
Personally, I like the blue unis. They are a much better alternative combo than the Sonics and Hawks, who both have egg-yolk yellow for a third uniform.
