Uniformity or Bad Form?

I asked on Twitter what people thought of the NBA crowds wearing the same colored shirts at all the games recently. It was a fairly divisive topic. Here is what you had to say.

@GusRamsey I think the NBA crowds are great...I prefer my crowds to be conformity driven for the sake of the team...

@GusRamsey Makes it an event to crowd, but can look goofy on TV. "White Out" terrible though. Use a team color.

@GusRamsey Shows NBA trying to create a college atmosphere. Tries to include as them "Sixth Man" even if they aren't actively cheering.

@GusRamsey False Enthusiasm is the worst thing about the NBA. Just like the constant noise from the speakers.

@GusRamsey it works for the Thunder, the blue looks awesome. But the Heat's white isn't what I associate with that team, better: Black/red

@GusRamsey I think it's good if the shirt is uhm... a color. Whiteouts are for hockey arenas where fans actually make noise.
