Cobb Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 NBA.com LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Not even the Lakers can tell a fashionable Los Angeles crowd what to wear. Most fans at Staples Center on Monday night declined to put on their giveaway gold T-shirts for Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. The Lakers handed out thousands of shirts with their logo on the back and the slogan "Together We Are One" on the front, attempting the popular color-coordination crowd stunt performed in several arenas during the NBA and NHL playoffs. The idea definitely isn't hip in L.A., where the crowd gave the same polite disdain to thousands of giveaway white T-shirts earlier in the playoffs. Some fans waved the shirts like a Terrible Towel, but most stuck them underneath their seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YugoRocketsFan Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Not surprised tbh, most of the fans there are texting on their cell phones or making business calls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thats pretty stupid..the organization wasted money into planning that, and they think they are too good for it. No sense of unity in the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 You mean when they arrive in the 3rd quarter right?not the fault of the fans that the game is scheduled at 6PM. Let's see you get off work and go straight to a game through rush hour traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) I like the color coordinated crowds....you can't tell me you didn't think OKC's games at home weren't sick seeing all that blue that one game.

Kobe24 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I think thats the funnest thing about going to games. Like when I go to all the UNI home games when they hand out shirts. It just makes it that much more intense and louder. At least the student section anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Yeah it sucks! I remember last year when we walked in the business people I walked in with were just like uhhh, I dont want this shirt. They TOSSED them aside. I was embarrassed to wear mine with pride, gotta fit in with all the B List Celebs that are just there to be seen.
