"I have issues with the shades the NBA picked for these Cavs throwbacks...I have been talking with a number of people in the NBA's Apparell Dept., and they admitted to me that they really don't go by any official records (e.g., past Style Guides), rather they consult with Mitchell &amp; Ness for colors.  And, I've heard that a couple of the guys in the NBA Creative Services Dept. spent a couple of hours on my site researching colors as well.  Scary. The actual Cavalier colors in those days were called \"Burnt Orange and Royal Blue\".  These shades that they've picked for these throwbacks are more like Bright Orange and Navy Blue.  Part of the problem could be the way Reebok stocks fabric colors - they only keep a select few, and match all of the colors to them - but I still think that they could have done better with the shades.  I mean - if you're going to do an accurate throwback, why not make it as close to the original as possible?  Except for the \"short-shorts\" though... Here are the shades that the NBA estimated:  ...and here are the ones that I estimated:  Talk amongst yourselves... \n"
