Cuban should just order up the 20,000 shirts/towels and hand them out at the gate, ala the Warriors last season. Funny bit about the Warriors "We Believe" motto, the person who coined it, got it trademarked and tried to sell it to the Warriors, Warriors offered, 10,000 for it, the guy said no deal.

I'm only going to go if I can get lower level tickets. If you're going to have to pay a premium anyways might as well go all out.
Is it weird to go alone?

I like blue. I'll be wearing blue, but I'll be damned if I'll buy a t-shirt for it.

The greenout was last year I think. They gave out t's and no one in the lower bowl put them on.
Edit:
Here it is.. we couldn't even put them on to support the national guard.

Well I beg to differ, there was at least half wearing I think. Did you wear yours?

FWIW, I think his financial support of the Kidd trade was quite a big "step."
However, I still think there should be free shirts. Just sell ad space on the back of them, that will more than pay for the cost.

Buying 20,000 shirts is nothing for Cuban. It'd probably be equivalent to an average American buying a Happy Meal.
Come on. It's 20,000 shirts. With bulk orders, there are always huge discounts.

Yeah, I really don't get why they are making fans pay for them. I've seen arenas giving away rally towels or the shirts, but the Mavs want them to put 20 bucks down for the shirts.

last time cuban gave out 20,000 green shirts. The stiffs in the lower bowl wouldn't wear 'em..those rat bas tards. So why should cuban pony up the money now?

Yup...this would probably cost cubes nothing...UNLESS no one wants to be associated with the ko'ach.

With all of the deserved negativity on this board, I'm surprised no one suggested to wear black.

Unless they decided to give them away at the door (from what I've seen)
I think our fans will look silly again and the Wear Blue campaign will look silly.
