Off-Day Open Thread: Will the Orlando Magic Wear Their New Alternate Uniforms to Excess?

As they announced over the weekend, the Orlando Magic will introduce a black alternate uniform this season, debuting it on December 14th against the Denver Nuggets. The complete schedule calls for them to wear the new threads 16 times total this season, including 14 road games and 2 home games. As the Nuggets game is their 25th of the season, that means Orlando will wear the new uniform for 16 of its final 57 games.
Today's question, then, centers on the frequency with which the team will wear those uniforms. As sharp as they are--and I've heard no one say anything different, really--is 16 times a bit too much? Is it excessive? Not enough? And, more broadly, does the proliferation of alternate uniforms in the NBA and professional sports at large bother you?

And if you happened to purchase one of the uniforms on Black Friday, when they went on sale at the Magic Team Shop, I'd love it if you'd post a photo on our Facebook page.

They'll wear them to success.
You can’t go wrong with that outfit. Black Magic.

and an OT that suits a black uni,

I want us to use this black one as the main road uni..
..and have the blue one as the alternate like back in the day.
Just my opinion.
ORL★NDO, our time will come.
I like that idea. We wear them for every Sunday or Friday night game or whatever. It works for the Lakers though, cause they play pretty much every Sunday at home. We don’t have a consistent game schedule like that.

I think the black ones look real nice
but I would have preferred a completely different design. I like the Mavs alternate because it has a different twist on the regular ones. The new black one looks just like the old black one.
I know the Wizards alternate was a disappointment to most people, but I thought the concept was pretty cool. Maybe a dark grey (pewter like the Bucs) would work?

I like 'em in the pictures
But I want to actually see them on a player. Everything looks better on paper. And no, I don’t think 28% of the time is too much.

Black is good
I think if you changed the poll to “Should the Magic change their road uniform to the black jersey permanently?” a clear majority would say yes.
Now that it has been suggested, I want to see them wear celtics green. that will be funny
Maybe next Halloween?
IMO
I think its not enough, we should be like the Lakers, and wear them on Friday game, and call it Black Friday since they came out on Black Friday, and then in the Amway Center, the crowd should have blackout games, and everybody where black. That would be sweet. As for the Celtics green, if we play the Lakers, Boston or Miami…. that would be funny.
I'm Mr.Magic
