Its looks like despite the fact jay has a small stake in the nets his influnce still greatly impacts the team and the way they do business. Im at work so i cant post the pics of the jersey but they in my avi if u wanna check um out.

[Jay-Z] helped design the team logos and choose the team's stark black-and-white color scheme and personally appealed to National Basketball Association officials to drop their objections to it (the N.B.A., according to a person with knowledge of the discussion, thought that African-American athletes did not look good on TV in black)
"Yes, there was resistance but it was approved They had three color schemes in which black was period. I was told it took a couple of calls to the second call again to make the case in which they to place some faith in Jay." ( Launch Magazine)

    Why would people think that color scheme wouldn't sell, the LA Kings and Raiders uniforms consistently sells. Black and white goes with every thing and it's street wear approved.

    Those look like some swap meet bootleg jerseys though... color scheme is alright but the lettering looks cheap.

    they'll sell just because they are the newest jersey you could possibly get

    like even a dwight howard or steve nash laker jersey is still gonna be a laker jersey just like kobe, magic etc

    but this is gonna jump off right with the "i was the first one with it" crowd and the fact that new york officially has a new team

    but the actual jersey is trash for real tho LOL

    The jerseys they unveiled previously looked better but the simple look is cool. stuff nowadays is too bright and loud so this is a good look.

    ? Jayz. He's distanced himself from so many ? only to become a ? for corporate america. A black man who could careless about his own people at the end of the day.

    Wait... Jay is in the same position Beanz was when he was part of the Roc... Which means Jay is showing us how to go from a soldier to a boss... Something Beans couldn't do... So if Jay succeeds it would be the final nail in Beans coffin right? Jay is taking an opportunity and flipping it to better his life. Ironic how Jays soldiers couldn't do it and now they cry that he never did anything for them... If Jay fails would he be like them?

    Jay-z came into the music business with Ty Ty and Bee High as his partners, guess who the executives at Roc Nation are, Ty Ty and Bee High. Oh yeah, they are all black and his wife is black, so shut the ? up with that distance himself from ? nonsense.

    Jay just distance himself from the ignorance that was Dame, a known drug dealer who still dealt drugs in BIGGS and a reckless ? name Beans.

    those jerseys are so ugly and cheap looking. the korean store 2 blocks away been making that design since the 90s. then again the ? that designed them thinks flip flops and jeans go together. The choice of black and white as official team colors was a lazy half assed one. Nets games are going to be hard on the eyes to follow and ? in the stands going to get bored quick looking at black and white. especially when they play the spurs i can tell im gonna be sleep at tipoff nobody want to watch monotone shade for 2 hours This shows you that Jay Z aint no real business man. This aint no rocawear ? he should of had a whole research team to figure out the hues and tones of this team instead of trying to make a fashion statement with a bland team colors and cheap ass jersey design. im not even hating but that jersey look cheap as ? . ptown is right the ? look country and baudy. there is nothing exciting about the brooklyn nets with that wack ass jersey and boring colors.
