Uniform Facts from the Pelicans:

About the Uniforms

1) Dark Blue and Gold will be the prominent colors in the new uniforms, while the teams third color, Red, will serve as an accent.
2) The teams home uniforms will be white, while the road jerseys will be dark blue.
3)The Pelicans worked with designer Rodney Richardson to develop the adidas jerseys. The team also worked with Richardson to design the Pelicans logos.
4)The word mark on both the home and road uniforms is inspired by French Quarter street signs.
5)The uniforms will feature New Orleans on the front of both the home and road jerseys, making the Pelicans one of three teams in the NBA to wear its citys name on the front of both jerseys.
6)The Pelicans partial logo is featured on the side of the shorts, while the Bird-de-Lis will be highlighted in the center back of the neck of the jersey.
7)At the center of the waistband of the shorts sits a unique ligature that combines the letters N and O to form a basketball. This new mark, created specifically and exclusively for the Pelicans, will be used selectively by the team and incorporated into Pelicans branding.

How They Stack Up

1) The Pelicans will be one of 10 teams with a dark blue uniform.
2) The dual-colored numbers on the jersey are similar to over half the league that has a two-color
number system (the rest of the league employs one color or a three-color combination).
3) The Pelicans are one of three teams to use their city name on all of their uniforms (the Knicks
and Nets the other two). Additionally, only 3 teams use only their nickname (Sixers, Jazz and
Lakers), the rest of the league uses a mixture.
4) The Pelicans join 10 other teams that have a traditional V-neck collar.

The Colors

1) The Pelicans colors are dark blue, gold and red.
2) The teams primary color, dark blue, is taken from Louisianas state flag.
3) The Pelicans and Saints share the color gold, uniting the organizations, while celebrating the spirited life of New Orleans and its many celebrations (gold is also a commonly found color on the crown of the pelican).
4) Red represents fraternity and is indicative of the blood provision of the mother pelican and the vibrant color underneath the pelicans throat. All three colors are found on the flag of the City of New Orleans.

Well I think you have to understand coach speak. Trust is almost as big of a factor as anything else, and Jason was definitely more trust worthy. Simply because he's a vet, but he didn't miss rotations, boxed out, contested shots, etc. I think last they were close defensively, but Coach Mont gives Jason Smith the edge because of the trust factor. He doesn't make mistakes, where as Anthony does being so young.
