Spurs Double Down on Fiesta Look for Playoffs After Color-Blocked Game 1

The push ties the arena look to Fiesta tradition through a sponsor-backed giveaway.

Overview

  • Following Sunday’s Game 1 win, San Antonio used section-colored T-shirts to create a color-blocked arena that Victor Wembanyama said was the most excited he had seen this season.
  • The team said it will not wear its City Edition uniforms at home for the rest of the first round, with road use dependent on the opponent’s colors.
  • The Spurs plan another Fiesta night in the second round if they advance, though NBA rules require primary colors in the conference finals and Finals.
  • Game 2 features another giveaway sponsored by H‑E‑B, and a team spokesperson said the shirts will not use the Fiesta theme.
  • Organizers unboxed about 20,000 shirts and deployed roughly 75 ushers to place them by section, as national host Bill Simmons criticized the look as a “gimmick.”
