    Is there a single improvement to any uniforms except the new Kings set which I really like? Philly home and away were some of the cleanest in the NBA and now they muddied them up with the cartoonish drop shadows, super disappointing

        Yeah Wolves throwback is fantastic, suns I’ve been undecided about since they were unveiled. I think I need to see them on the court. The home whites are particularly iffy for me, the white SUNS lettering with a white ball on a white background kind of washes out IMO, there’s just not enough contrast

    Definitely getting the classic magic jersey this season, been way too long since we used it. It’s one of the best in the NBA imo, not sure why we ever went full corpo

    Is this the first time we’re seeing what the trophy for the In Season Tournament looks like?

    I need to see it with the number. Our city edition isn’t awful, but it isn’t great either. The gold trim color on the sides is weird. Honestly with how adventurous Celtics jerseys usually are, this is pretty par for the course. Worse than last year though

    C+ / B-

      It’s not even gold trim - it’s a faux wood pattern.

      If it wasn’t for the long sleeved grey ones a while back this would easily be the worst Celtics jersey ever. It’s just stupid

    LMAO, the Mavs are really bringing the trash bag unis back from the grave. The one uni that pretty much is universally despised by every single person ever

    Lowkey worried that we haven’t seen our new jerseys yet. Someone said the change to the Washington monument looks like a reference to the Zero Milestone, which is a weird choice.

    NBA/Nike needs to scrap the city edition jerseys. There is not enough creativity or man power to come up with good looking jerseys for 30 teams every single year. Not to mention the brand recognition lost when half the teams are wearing colors that don’t match the franchises’ primary colors. I struggle to imagine that the return on these in sales is worth what the designers and manufacturers are costing for these piece of shit jerseys.

      I think some are good. But we don’t need new ones every year.

      Like maybe rotate 10 teams every 3 years or something.

        Nike and others have done this in Football (soccer) for years! Decades by now.
        Every single year the top teams of every significant league has a redesign main, a new color second and a creative new third and some teams have a fourth kit… is crazy

        The new treand, since FIFA has specific rules on what a shirt can be, is to be creative with worm kits. They do their best to expose teams worming up and in their practice facilities with those.

        Is really annoying and nba is kind of infected by that now, since they will make so much money from merchandise every year that makes it worth it.

      The designers probably aren’t paid anything that crazy, plus Nike got designers on staff already. The cost of manufacturing is also probably negligible for them too. They wouldn’t keep doing it if it wasn’t profitable.

          Nah then they’d have to pay someone else to do it. They just have whoever’s on staff already throw something together in 5 minutes between projects they actually care about.

      All of these literally look like 2K pro-am jerseys. This community should be able to generate enough noise on social media and tell nike to politely fuck off with this nonsense.

        This community is only a small piece of NBA fandom. The majority of people buying these are probably not coming to r/nba to talk hoops.
