Blog Kiosk: 1/24/2014 - Dodgers Links - The Brooklyn Nets to Wear Dodger Blue, Chone Figgins and Mark McGwire


Darren Rovell shared on twitter the alternate Brooklyn Nets basketball jersey they will wear for 5 games this season.  It sports Brooklyn Dodger Blue in homage to the team.  Paul Lukas of UniWatch on twitter notes that the number should should be in red, not blue.  Per Rovell at ESPN:
Sources told ESPN.com that the Nets will first wear the blue and grey sleeved jerseys for the game against the Boston Celtics on March 21 and will wear them for four other games, to be called "Brooklyn Blue Nights," before the season is over.
“Finish business,” McGwire said on what he’s looking forward to this season. “Everybody got a great taste to have one step to the World Series, but there’s some unfinished business that we want to take care of in ’14.”
