Pacers troll Raptors, will give out ‘We The Gold’ t-shirts

Check this out, as the Bankers Life Fieldhouse seats have all been lined with #WeTheGold t-shirts to combat #WeTheNorth heading into Game 6.

The Indiana Pacers are trying to get their home crowd going before Game 6.

Facing possible elimination after losing Game 5 in spectacular fashion, the Pacers will give out gold T-shirts at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, with the silhouette of the state of Indiana and the slogan #WeTheGold at the bottom.

It appears to be a bit of a dig at the Raptors, who have used the slogan #WeTheNorth since 2014.

“Just because we do ‘We The North,’ they just trying to find something to get at us,” Raptors forward Patrick Patterson told reporters at a press conference Thursday.

However, not all Pacers fans were impressed with the marketing ploy.

The Raptors lead the best-of-seven series 3-2 and Game 6 takes place Friday night.
