but they can sell a few more jerseys to compulsive shoppers so

but these are like pranks, something has come loose inside the machine, it’s just insane

i mean it seems so obvious that diluting your product with a bunch of total crap year after year is bad but who am i just a poster on a board looking to understand this world

actually i think its easy xp i just imagine these are C-Suited to the point of no return.

theres two schools of thought one is make something good the other is business school

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.

lol insult to injury

I like all the dumb experiments. Spice of life.

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

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.

we dont have enough users to fp you but it is deserved

I think teams should explore more aesthetics. Vaporwave. Coastal Grandma. Liminal Space.

knicks seem like the most steampunk team

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

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

yeah the new innovation isnt so much making bad uniforms as it is making a lot of them

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

totally otm, if you could keep a great alt plus the regular one then I think experimenting with a third would be more palatable

Celtics official '23-'24 City-Edition Jersey👀

What do you rate these? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/Qrvx9o9EfC

once again why is everything so small

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

love that they always wanna remake the celtics in the image of a cheap irish bar

i feel like cheap is underselling it, its a completely ersatz irish pub in a mall

a place with 30 tvs your boomer boss takes the team to after work, "its great" hes says

boston cream city

ironically enough boston is the only place in the country that has lots of normal pleasant neighborhood irish pubs

as far as city editions go... those are top shelf lol

the whole sick crew, worryingly bad, someone should check on nike

DENVER?????

18 of them are black.

"this is bad but i feel like we can make it worse"

"what if we made the mountain graphic navy so you cant really see it on the black uniform but you can kind of see it just looking at it will be annoying and confusing"

another design its unpleasant for the eye to even settle on, did an evil psychiatrist make these

i don’t get the knicks ones but i would like those if there weren’t pinstripes

the overlapping word mark is unforgivable, and lol they found a way to put a little black in there, but compared to most of them its very good

the pacers ones feel like a legitimate cry for help on the part of the designer

that one is at least kind of funny it looks like a trapper keeper, half of these seem like they didnt even try, but yeah taken together these have a distinct somethings not right feeling

magic, utah, sacto not bad imo. not good but not actively bad

i think the heat one might be the actual worst ever nba jersey

C: kings, bucks

D: all others

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

kings (8/10)
bucks (6.5/10)

all others < 5/10

medieval times but also a trapper keeper

nets doing a bape rip off is kinda funny

nike should be made to apologize for these, that would be funny

Kings looked like they bought unused designs from Philly's designer.
