The Las Vegas Aces held their first official press conference today. They revealed their new uniforms and court layout. They are going with a Casino theme of Black and Red with a White trim.

Reaction to the color scheme and uniforms has been mixed, this reporter included. Management did say that there could be changes even as the year goes along depending on feedback from the fans. "We are looking to provide an overall experience like everything else in Las Vegas. So if the fans aren't happy with the uniforms we will make changes. Our brand is Vegas. "

As for the team staff, ownership has stated no changes will happen this year. "We are going to roll the dice with what we have this year. If they perform then we'll evaluate at the end of the year."

The fans are excited as they are getting a roster that is loaded at the top with talent. Two of the more exciting players in the league who are in their prime, Jameel Bethea and Ahmed Harmon, are signed long term. And they are hungry to make amends for their embarrassment at the hands of the Warriors in last years playoffs.

The players were asked how they felt about the sudden move of the team to Vegas.

Bethea, "Honestly man, All I have on my mind is getting better and taking it all the way this year. I don't like the way we went out. With Harmon coming back we have to avenge last year's disappointment. Yeah we had a good regular season, but that don't mean sh%^ when it comes playoff time. This year we have to play all the way through and never let up. And I feel with as close knit as this team is we shouldn't have an issue. But as far as the new city and fans, bring em on. I mean it is Vegas Baby!!"

Harmon, "I was told before I signed of the move, so it wasn't as big a shock to me. In fact it was one of the reasons I was willing to take a little less money. Well that and this team is so close that I just couldn't really see playing anywhere else. We are all like brothers. Even the no dancing fool Bush. But when it comes to Vegas, I feel like we are going to take this town by storm. They won't have seen anything like it since the Rat Pack!"
