Why aren't the uniforms the same for all players:

Same game (December 30):

Look at the right arm hole. From the red collar all the unis have it goes downward:

Mo Williams: Blue, Wine, Gold, Blue
Lebron James: Gold, Red, Blue, Gold

Lebron's matches both sides, Mo's is different on both sides.

I'm kinda pissed because I just finished painting a custom using the Mo Williams photo as a source and then I find out it could be wrong.

EDIT: The pants are different too. Mo has a gold bar at the bottom of this leg striping, Lebron has Wine.

Good catch. I don't have a clue. I can't wait for their "secret unis" to be unvieled though.

You heard the story on why the Cavs didn't wear the snowflake patched jerseys on Chrismas day didn't you?

Yeah, I agree with Lebron but I'm confused why no one in the Cavs front office could figure it out ahead of time.

It appears that Mo Williams is the only Cav that wears the wrong jersey.

Lebron's new shoe was supposed to be unveiled on Christmas Day and it was blue with white dust called the 'chalk edition'. It was a night where the crowd was given confetti to throw when Lebron did his chalk routine before the game and they gave out special shirts.

Problem is, the league wanted them to wear the white jerseys with the snowflake logo. It didn't make any sense since the Cavs already had this planned. No one apparently thought to put a snowflake on the blue alternates.

it also sucks because MeiGray and NBA.com is now auctioning off all the game used X-Mas day NBA patched snowflake jerseys all teams used except Cavs-Wiz. Because LeBron shoes didn't match the intended jersey the Cavs had with the patch and authenticated by Meigray, pulled a last second switch and sent someone to DC to get Wiz regular jerseys. So the patch snowflake jerseys never saw the light of day.
