Black is Hot and Perfect in Miami

Miami Heat starting five wearing the new
all-black alternate jersey.

The Miami Heat have been a perfect 3-0 in their new all-black jerseys. They defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 98-87 on January 19, the Chicago Bulls 97-93 on January 29, and the Orlando Magic 90-78 on February 19. Three more games in the monochrome black jerseys are still  scheduled for the season: February 23 vs. the New York Knicks, March 29 vs. the Dallas Mavericks, and April 10 vs. the Boston Celtics. So far so good for the all-black Heat.

The Heat do look intimidating in their black jerseys. Their performance perhaps came from a potion that LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and co. have been hiding from all of us. Whatever the reason, the Heat have been winning in these garbs, and playing like giants they're supposed to. 

Now what if they break out this gear as their home playoff uniform? That would be more motivating and intimidating for a championship contender. That is only if commissioner David Stern agrees with the idea. Until then, hope the Heat continue to burn bright in their all-black jerseys.
