theres two schools of thought one is make something good the other is business school
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 October 2023 21:22 (eleven months ago) link
i think they should make some rules. i think the idea of new 'city' themes is ok but they should be worn very sparingly and only at home and only during the reg seaosn. once the playoffs start it should be standard home whites at home vs standard color away unis. no throwbacks or alts.
the fact i have to look back on the 2016 cavs team winning the title in black sleeved unis just adds to my pain.

agreed re going back to basics in the offs, my feeling is all alternates should be recognizably the same brand as the standard unis ie same colors font actually says the team name or city on them maybe you can do some slight color variation like when the celtics add a gold tertiary color its fine they still look like celtics uniforms, this thing where you turn on the tv and cant tell which teams are playing is just inane most of the uniforms are ass in their own right and the cutesy nickanme jersey are so lame, also for sure ban all alternate courts its too much no one needs that
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 October 2023 21:33 (eleven months ago) link
the one exception im willing to make is if the celtics get dunkin donuts uniforms that would be proper and correct

I’d be ok to require all alts have gradients.

uniforms have evolved. in the olden days they served as a simple means of identifying a team's players. in today's sleek modern world of monetized eyeballs and player branding, their only purpose is to maximize a team's revenue stream, by providing ever-changing fodder to a lucrative merchandising franchise. sadly, they suck ass.

Those 90's cartooney uniform logos were terrible, too. It wasn't always classic
― octobeard, Friday, 20 October 2023 22:05 (eleven months ago) link
yeah the new innovation isnt so much making bad uniforms as it is making a lot of them
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 October 2023 22:07 (eleven months ago) link
next step in the progression is for each player to design and wear their own personalized uniforms in an exclusive color scheme that matches their personally branded shoes.

agree re color but teams should be able to do weird colored throwbacks.
also the good alts shouldnt have a one year cap on them. like miami should clearly still be playing in the og miami vice ones and they shouldnt be relegated cos of a dumb rule. jazz sunsets. wizards pinks. etc
― infinite wiggles (Spottie), Friday, 20 October 2023 22:17 (eleven months ago) link
totally otm, if you could keep a great alt plus the regular one then I think experimenting with a third would be more palatable

jersey a different color than the standard is bad, jersey a similar but different color to the standard is worse, jersey the color of a different team is the pits
obvs the cutesy visual references in these things, which in this case is also very ugly, should be thrown in the fuckin charles river kid

you’d think this would be one of the most prestigious gigs in the entire sports apparel industry, like there’s no application process, you have to be asked, you only get to do this if you’re just a proven legend. you spent the last 8 years in tokyo designing limited edition tracksuit collabs and then the phone rings, it’s nike, “it’s the call” but no they did it this way instead
