In the navy: Cavs unveil new alternate uni
The offseason of the new-look Cleveland Cavaliers will add another layer on opening night.
LeBron James, Kevin Love and company will be decked out in a new navy blue alternate jersey as the Cavs take on the Knicks Oct. 30.
Dan Gilbert gave a full look at the uniform on Twitter (with a promise included) Thursday.

Navy has also been incorporated in a similar style on the redesigned court as part of a makeover to The Q that will include a large new scoreboard.
The Cavs will use four uniform sets this season -- two alternates (navy, gold), home (white) and road (wine).
In LeBron's last stint in Cleveland, the Cavs sported a number of alternate jerseys from the script wine on gold of 2008 to the Mark Price-era blue and orange of 2009.
The gold jerseys with "CAVS" across the front that are still used as alternates came into existence during the 2011-12 season.
Fans will be able to get their hands on the navy jersey when the retail supply becomes available in late February, according to the team.
