Bay Area Unite, indeed …
The Sharks showed their support for the back-to-back NBA champion Warriors by wearing Dubs-themed warm-up jerseys before Saturday night’s game against the Vancouver Canucks.
Pretty sweet threads, if we do say so ourselves.

SIGN UP HERE Warriors forward Jonas Jerebko, who was in attendance at SAP Center, likely agreed.
Jerebko was born and raised in Sweden, and he's a huge hockey fan. So, it wasn’t a surprise that he’d use the NBA All-Star break to catch a game at The Tank -- especially on Warriors Night.
In fact, Jerebko once practiced with the Detroit Red Wings, and he told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Kerith Burke in October that “my slap shot was really, really good.” Makes sense: Jerebko’s 6-foot-10 frame would provide a lot of leverage on the puck.
After San Jose's 3-2 win, Jerebko visited fellow Swedes Erik Karlsson and Marcus Sorensen in the Sharks’ locker room, and they exchanged jerseys.
Seeing the Warriors and the Sharks together has us dreaming of double championship parades in June. Or, perhaps, one big Bay Area Unite celebration?
