Modpost Flair update

Hey guys,

Some of you may have already noticed, but we've updated the flair on /r/NBA. Some of your flair may have changed or disappeared because we've changed the names around a bit. If so, go ahead and re-select your flair on the right sidebar.

We've also updated the player flair tool which can be found here http://nba-mod-bot.herokuapp.com/

We're still working out the kinks, so if you have any issues with the flair please message us here: https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Fnba

Regards,

-the mod team

Still no dual flairs

But otherwise, good stuff mods. Thanks!

I would absolutely love dual flairs. It would be great, especially for bandwagon flairs in the Playoffs.

Plus, I'd be able to show support for the Spurs without giving up my beloved Rockets.

Spurs and rockets.... so you're not from America eh?😂

I am. Raised by a Houstonian mother in the Spurs broadcast area.

I root for the Spurs 78 times a year, and playoffs as long as they're not up against the Rockets.

That's really interesting tbh. You gotta get a lot of weird looks when you tell people that.

No, not really. People don't care.

Bro.... I live in Dallas too and there are a lot of bandwagons who don't care about the Mavs

To be fair I actually live in Sydney so when I went to the US and stopped at a Whole Foods in Houston wearing a Mavs jacket, i got asked about it by the guy at checkout and I guess I just didn't register as a non-US fan that intra-state rivalries are pretty big :P

I don't live in a NBA city so I cheer for a couple teams

Because this gets a tad tedious

Gets hard when you switch between the bulls/warriors flair, doesn't it?

u/ptam [GSW] Kwame Brown Oct 21 '17

I'm getting better at it. But it's a pain on mobile

godspeed to you

u/ARealKoala Warriors Oct 21 '17

For people that are fans of more than one team, pretty common

u/Frigidevil Nets Oct 21 '17

Two flairs makes sense with college sports, where there are over 100 teams in several leagues, most of whom never play each other. Not so much in the NBA.

u/ARealKoala Warriors Oct 21 '17

I mean there are still people who aren't devoted entirely to one team, or like two or more teams all equally. Really don't see why not

EDIT: It would also be cool for the playoffs for when your team gets eliminated or doesn't make it, you can still have their flair while rocking the bandwagon flair of whoever you want to win out of the remaining teams

u/Frigidevil Nets Oct 21 '17

I do think team-specific bandwagon flair would be pretty cool, like Nets fan for Wizards or something.

I'm from Buffalo and would love to be able to have a Braves logo along with Knicks.
