That’s right: KG, the Kid, the Big Ticket. The former first-round draft pick straight out of high school, who went on to do just about everything in his basketball career—except get inducted to the Hall of Fame, which people are expecting to happen next year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/OGPenn.Cap_-160x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"184\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-13833985\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/OGPenn.Cap_-160x184.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/OGPenn.Cap_.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as he walked through West Oakland’s DeFremery Park, a.k.a.

And with that comeback, they may be bridging the gap between two generations of ballers and hip-hop artists. I mean, there weren’t any young hoopers of note from the Bay Area on stage with Garnett & Co., but the young artists exchanging convos with the elder statesmen was a good sign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m sure older hip-hop heads would appreciate that the “elements of hip-hop” were also present. Young people danced as the DJ played hit songs, the emcee did a slight call-and-response as the sponsors passed out basketballs and shirts. And the element of graffiti—in the form of a mural, at least—was front and center. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Illuminaries, a Bay Area-based collective of artists composed of Tim Hon, Steve Ha, and Romali Licudan (who was out of town for this project), worked with Steven Anderson and Eric Nodora to lay down a few layers of paint on the hoop courts; and, as usual, incorporated local flavor into their art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13842913\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"E-40 at DeFremery Park in West Oakland, Oct. 12, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13842913\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-1180x789.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-960x642.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-375x251.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/E-40.DeFremery-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">E-40 at DeFremery Park in West Oakland, Oct. 12, 2018. \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There’s a Hieroglyphics emblem in one corner of the court.

Zeus, one of the millions of kids with an outlandish dream of becoming a superhero, asked the masked man how he could be like him. Sadiki, from behind the mesh face-wear, simply said, “Go to Head Over Heels.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zeus went home, found Head Over Heels under “Gyms” in the Yellow Pages, and called the number. The organization offered Zeus free gymnastics classes in exchange for working—cleaning everything from dishes to gym mats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zeus did that for a year, calling Thunder’s office number everyday along the way, just to tell him about his progress. Until one day, Thunder invited Zeus down to the Warriors headquarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zeus didn’t know it at the time, but Sadiki Fuller was giving him something more than access to a professional NBA facility. He was passing down the torch of mentorship; unveiling the real path to becoming a superhero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi6EBLGnbBL/?taken-by=zeusdadunka\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">A\u003c/span> couple of days ago, I talked to Sadiki’s mother, Brenda Orr, who told me about his childhood in Houston, Texas. “His first love was gymnastics. He loved to flip, and do acrobatic things,” Orr told me. “He would teach all the kids in the neighborhood. He had his own gymnastics class on my front lawn; we could never grow grass because he was always flipping on it!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the conference call, including his two sisters, Aiisha and Jari, they told me story after story exemplifying Sadiki’s charisma and leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A couple of years ago, I had my 40th birthday. He showed up, and I was outside socializing,” said Aiisha. “By the time I realized he was there, all my friends were charmed by him. He told everyone he was hugger, and he went around and hugged each and every one of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That charisma, charm and urge to uplift others is what made him standout, both socially and professionally. Jerry Burrell, former mascot for the Houston Rockets, says he first met Sadiki in 1994, when he was looking for guys to be a part of a dunk team—not just any dunk team, but a team of superheroes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was tall and skinny, and didn’t look like a superhero, so I blew him off,” Burrell told me. “But he kept calling me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burrell kept Sadiki as a backup dunker, but Sadiki soon got his time to shine. One day, as the team packed their belongings after a show at a high school, a crowd of people gathered to compliment them on their performance. Next thing Burrell knew, “(Sadiki) was making little kids balloon animals, and at one point he did a flip. He was tying it all together with funny anecdotes and references. He had them eating out of his hand,” said Burrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I realized that I had gotten him wrong,” said Burrell, who quickly brought Sadiki onto his High Impact Squad. “It didn’t matter that he didn’t have the ‘superhero look.’ He had a gift.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13832828\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13832828\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-800x572.jpg\" alt=\"Sadiki Fuller, always outgoing, twisting balloons on the court.\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-800x572.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-160x114.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-768x549.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-1020x729.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-1200x858.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-1180x843.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-960x686.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-240x172.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-375x268.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-520x372.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sadiki Fuller, always outgoing, twisting balloons on the court. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Jesus El)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">T\u003c/span>he Warriors discovered Sadiki’s gift two years later, after the team abandoned a failed experiment with a mascot by the name of Berserker. A Warriors rep had caught wind of Sadiki’s talents, and brought him on board to play a new, more acrobatic mascot, named Thunder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sadiki would go on to dunk, flip and fly through the air at Warriors games, in schools and at social events for the next five years—a particularly downtrodden era for Warriors fandom. (As \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/30/sports/basketball/golden-state-warriors-mascot-thunder-sadiki-fuller.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> piece on Sadiki\u003c/a> notes, the Warriors went 97-281 during his tenure.) But that didn’t matter to Sadiki. When he performed, he’d go all in. He’d breakdance at center court. He’d hit handstands, and while inverted, he’d kick his legs in rhythm to the music on the stadium’s PA system. Solely by using body language—his face shrouded by a mask—he’d convey excitement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, when it was time, he’d hit a trampoline that was held in place by his young assistant, Zeus, take to the sky like a rocket, and then come down while slamming the ball with the power of Shango—lighting up the Oracle with wild cheers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/warriors/status/997193788882866178\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">I\u003c/span>n other words, Sadiki kept people smiling during the dark ages. He was the life of the party. And when he wasn’t on the court, hitting flips and uplifting spirits, he was busy forming his own dunk team—Team Thunder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He always told us his goal wasn’t to make us better dunkers or performers, but to make us better men,” said Eddie Johnson, one of the original members of Team Thunder. Johnson, who Sadiki recruited after seeing his Taekwondo performance at a Warriors game, dunked for years with Team Thunder—which eventually morphed into the Flying Dubs after the Seattle Supersonics rebranded themselves as the Oklahoma City Thunder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the Supersonics’ name change had further impact: to avoid confusion, the Warriors decided to part ways with their mascot, Thunder. Sadiki took it as a sign to move to Los Angeles and pursue his dream of standup comedy, which he performed for the past 15 years with relative success (including one time he got to imitate Chris Rock—\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-glDhAFLJA&feature=youtu.be&t=2m35s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>in front of\u003c/em> Chris Rock\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during his time flying through the air in Oakland for screaming fans, Sadiki quietly showed a handful of young men a better path in life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13832830\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 743px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13832830\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels.jpg\" alt=\"Zeus teaches a new generation at Head Over Heels gym in Emeryville.\" width=\"743\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels.jpg 743w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-160x159.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-240x239.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-375x373.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-520x518.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zeus teaches a new generation at Head Over Heels gym in Emeryville. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Jesus El)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Although he never became an official NBA mascot himself, Zeus worked as the Oakland A’s mascot, Stomper, for a year.

He loved to flip, and do acrobatic things,” Orr told me. “He would teach all the kids in the neighborhood. He had his own gymnastics class on my front lawn; we could never grow grass because he was always flipping on it!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the conference call, including his two sisters, Aiisha and Jari, they told me story after story exemplifying Sadiki’s charisma and leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A couple of years ago, I had my 40th birthday. He showed up, and I was outside socializing,” said Aiisha. “By the time I realized he was there, all my friends were charmed by him. He told everyone he was hugger, and he went around and hugged each and every one of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That charisma, charm and urge to uplift others is what made him standout, both socially and professionally. Jerry Burrell, former mascot for the Houston Rockets, says he first met Sadiki in 1994, when he was looking for guys to be a part of a dunk team—not just any dunk team, but a team of superheroes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was tall and skinny, and didn’t look like a superhero, so I blew him off,” Burrell told me. “But he kept calling me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burrell kept Sadiki as a backup dunker, but Sadiki soon got his time to shine. One day, as the team packed their belongings after a show at a high school, a crowd of people gathered to compliment them on their performance. Next thing Burrell knew, “(Sadiki) was making little kids balloon animals, and at one point he did a flip. He was tying it all together with funny anecdotes and references. He had them eating out of his hand,” said Burrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I realized that I had gotten him wrong,” said Burrell, who quickly brought Sadiki onto his High Impact Squad. “It didn’t matter that he didn’t have the ‘superhero look.’ He had a gift.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13832828\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13832828\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-800x572.jpg\" alt=\"Sadiki Fuller, always outgoing, twisting balloons on the court.\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-800x572.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-160x114.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-768x549.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-1020x729.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-1200x858.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-1180x843.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-960x686.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-240x172.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-375x268.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.balloonscourt-520x372.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sadiki Fuller, always outgoing, twisting balloons on the court. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Jesus El)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">T\u003c/span>he Warriors discovered Sadiki’s gift two years later, after the team abandoned a failed experiment with a mascot by the name of Berserker. A Warriors rep had caught wind of Sadiki’s talents, and brought him on board to play a new, more acrobatic mascot, named Thunder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sadiki would go on to dunk, flip and fly through the air at Warriors games, in schools and at social events for the next five years—a particularly downtrodden era for Warriors fandom. (As \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/30/sports/basketball/golden-state-warriors-mascot-thunder-sadiki-fuller.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> piece on Sadiki\u003c/a> notes, the Warriors went 97-281 during his tenure.) But that didn’t matter to Sadiki. When he performed, he’d go all in. He’d breakdance at center court. He’d hit handstands, and while inverted, he’d kick his legs in rhythm to the music on the stadium’s PA system. Solely by using body language—his face shrouded by a mask—he’d convey excitement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, when it was time, he’d hit a trampoline that was held in place by his young assistant, Zeus, take to the sky like a rocket, and then come down while slamming the ball with the power of Shango—lighting up the Oracle with wild cheers.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was the life of the party. And when he wasn’t on the court, hitting flips and uplifting spirits, he was busy forming his own dunk team—Team Thunder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He always told us his goal wasn’t to make us better dunkers or performers, but to make us better men,” said Eddie Johnson, one of the original members of Team Thunder. Johnson, who Sadiki recruited after seeing his Taekwondo performance at a Warriors game, dunked for years with Team Thunder—which eventually morphed into the Flying Dubs after the Seattle Supersonics rebranded themselves as the Oklahoma City Thunder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the Supersonics’ name change had further impact: to avoid confusion, the Warriors decided to part ways with their mascot, Thunder. Sadiki took it as a sign to move to Los Angeles and pursue his dream of standup comedy, which he performed for the past 15 years with relative success (including one time he got to imitate Chris Rock—\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-glDhAFLJA&feature=youtu.be&t=2m35s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>in front of\u003c/em> Chris Rock\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during his time flying through the air in Oakland for screaming fans, Sadiki quietly showed a handful of young men a better path in life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13832830\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 743px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13832830\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels.jpg\" alt=\"Zeus teaches a new generation at Head Over Heels gym in Emeryville.\" width=\"743\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels.jpg 743w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-160x159.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-240x239.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-375x373.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-520x518.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SADIKI.HeadHeels-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zeus teaches a new generation at Head Over Heels gym in Emeryville. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Jesus El)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Although he never became an official NBA mascot himself, Zeus worked as the Oakland A’s mascot, Stomper, for a year.

I mean, on one side, it’s what we had been asking for: for the Warriors to publicly recognize the turf on which they play. For them to tell the world that their gym is on 73rd Avenue in the heart of East Oakland. For them to claim their identity, not as the Golden State Warriors, but as the Oakland Warriors. For them to honor the city where they’ve recently renovated a handful of courts, complete with the new alternative logo. For them to represent The Town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on the other hand, the jerseys just look like recreation league gear. It doesn’t take too much imagination to use the same symbol that the City of Oakland uses for its various governmental departments. Since Nike designed the jersey, you’d think it would have a little more flavor.

I mean, on one side, it’s what we had been asking for: for the Warriors to publicly recognize the turf on which they play. For them to tell the world that their gym is on 73rd Avenue in the heart of East Oakland. For them to claim their identity, not as the Golden State Warriors, but as the Oakland Warriors. For them to honor the city where they’ve recently renovated a handful of courts, complete with the new alternative logo. For them to represent The Town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on the other hand, the jerseys just look like recreation league gear. It doesn’t take too much imagination to use the same symbol that the City of Oakland uses for its various governmental departments. Since Nike designed the jersey, you’d think it would have a little more flavor.
