Uniforms—Logos—Court Designs—Socks—Sneakers—Headbands—Mouthguards

i hate that they have all these lame golden nuggets hidden in the details. the creative brief for these should simply state: make them look cool and nothing more.

its so bad pure marketing bs that only exists to sustain itself

hit me up in the CLT

thats what she said

CLT on the front BALL on the back

that one in particular... did no one give pause and question it?

HORN next year

so the dumb design gimmick for the wolves at least based on what i've read is that the stripe of weird colored rectangles will be slightly different for each jersey making them a one of a kind treasure for the ages

but yeah lagoon otm "easter eggs" in all forms of arts and design should be destroyed

five different nike jerseys designs per team per year + ad patches + constant betting ads have completely changed the face of the nba in just a couple of years

+ ditching home whites, allowing any color sneakers

+ tights & undershirts w sleeves

i like some of those things but the overall effect is pretty chaotic

portland i think will look really cool on court altho i dont understand the color choice.

they really went with the fan mockup option

i think i remember dame doing his shoes in that pdx airport carpet colorway or something?

yup

idk the whole pdx carpet <3 thing makes me really mad it was cute 15 years ago but it became such an inescapable meme of post-portlandia normies I just can’t take it, sorry to bomb the jerseys thread with my white hot civic rage at our changing economic demographics leading to cutesy bullshit

we welcome the rage

absolutely

Clay just move up here to Seattle where we don’t have any civic pride in anything

Gotta say the pink looked good on tv

aww silby tyvm, i'd honestly like to do that but i don't want to sell my house or deal with seattle rents. plus i have a medical thing that makes walking up hills really hard so seattle may be out of bounds for me. I usually see k878 when i visit though, which I'd like to do this spring, you should come along!

+ tights & undershirts w sleeves

+ coaches not wearing suits, like a lot of things these days theres less of a sense of occasion, glamour, as boxing is to mma, it is what it is

was thinking it wld be funny if the head coach had to wear special athleisure, like the assistants do gray outfits and the coach wears team colors

that would be great. "this one is the special head boy"

*pointing* thats our guy

if the head coach gets ejected the lead assistant has to put on a yellow or teal or whatever quarter zip

yes absolutely

Re: the Bucks cream jerseys

“I’m not sure I want to deal with the can of worms it will open, so I’ll tell you privately,” he wrote back. “But you, in particular, are going to hate it: Teams can’t wear cream anymore because it interferes with the digital ads that are placed on the court in broadcast due to the uniforms being so close to the color of the wood that is keyed out in the process.”

just came to post that!

its marketing all the way down

cream isn’t a very attractive color for basketball jerseys tbh

idk i liked them. not all the time but occasionally.

i like cream it has an olde timey flair, i dont like jersey with the city nicknames on them tho

agreed, you need to buy a cream jersey at a pro shoppe

time was a man could cream the city all night if he so pleased, these days they say it interferes with the digital

thanks Obama

Might be one color too many (probably the green), but I think I love them.

seems like it would be pretty sweet to drop kyrie and work with ja instead

wonder if theyll keep making the kyrie just not call it the kyrie seems like prob its pretty popular

These seem like Kyries good move Nike

oh no lol

smh

what if he's sabotaging his own jordan shoe to diminish the brand and make kobe seem cooler

i dont understand how jordans can make some of the best sneakers "jordans" and also the worst "the other sneakers they make" i feel like they might do it on purpose to not take the shine off jordans

lol xp that shoe is so bad were immediately hatching multiple conspiracy theories

i have liked a couple westbrooks tbf

but point stands

would be cool if they were high heels
