The San Antonio Spurs<\/a> returned to the playoffs with a splash Sunday night, debuting a colorful, well-coordinated set of playoff shirts for their first-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a>. Rather than opt for one shirt for the whole arena during the team\u2019s 111-98 win<\/a>, the Spurs decided to get creative, painting the crowd in brightly colored shirts in alternating sections.<\/p>\n

The teal-, pink- and orange-colored shirts are an homage to Fiesta San Antonio, an annual festival that takes place in April. Sunday\u2019s crowd coordinated with the colors on the Spurs\u2019 uniforms, which are part of the City Edition jerseys unveiled<\/a> by the team in November.<\/p>\n

The court\u2019s design matches the colors as well, with the paint decked in teal and a colorful stripe of all three colors across the center-court logo.<\/p>\n

Audience participation was a key to the effect. Pregame, the Spurs singled out<\/a> fans on the Jumbotron, asking them to put on their shirts, and they thanked the crowd for participating.<\/p>\n

Even Spurs legends David Robinson and Tim Duncan<\/a> bought in, wearing their orange shirts courtside.<\/p>\n

That buy-in appeared to work, with nearly every member of the crowd happily wearing their shirts \u2014 and cheering loudly from the jump.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s series opener marked the Spurs\u2019 first playoffs appearance in six seasons. After a tough couple of years, San Antonio is back in the postseason as the No. 2 seed with the help of star center Victor Wembanyama<\/a>, who is a finalist for league MVP<\/a> as well as Defensive Player of the Year. He dropped 35 points, including 21 in the first half<\/a> to set an NBA record for the most points scored in the opening half of a playoff debut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Antonio Spurs returned to the playoffs with a splash Sunday night, debuting a colorful, well-coordinated set…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":716471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[7,89314,3382,89001,6,11,89313,89312,471,969,474,2594,1674,693],"class_list":{"0":"post-716470","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba-playoffs","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-brightly-colored-shirts","10":"tag-david-robinson","11":"tag-fiesta-san-antonio","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-nba-playoffs","14":"tag-orange-shirts","15":"tag-playoff-shirts","16":"tag-portland-trail-blazers","17":"tag-san-antonio","18":"tag-san-antonio-spurs","19":"tag-the-spurs","20":"tag-tim-duncan","21":"tag-victor-wembanyama"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116452550491312302","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=716470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/716471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=716470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=716470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
