Sport Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Looks cool, but blue is nowhere to be found on their regular home uniforms. I'm sure they'll wear 17 alternates that use blue now that Lebron is back. Also, Cleveland has a pretty nondescript skyline so I don't know why they chose to include it there, but skylines seem to be all the rage in the NBA these days.

colinturner95 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Only thing I don't like is the red letters on the blue background. It looks illegible, and kind of muddled from the upper decks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The center court logo is way too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Disappointed to see the blue since their primaries don't have it. This does not bode well for the few of us that love their current simple primaries.I don't tend to like things like skylines but this is relatively non-obtrusive. I would like this court if they'd stuck with the current primary colors. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

joshey Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The giant C doesn't bother me but having Cleveland over the skyline does. It looks forced and out of place. But I do like the skyline GO NETS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLEstones Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I agree. The blue is a big downgrade and brings down the court overall. I think having a 2-tone court, the Out of Bounds would be the perfect place for additional second wood tone. I'm also not sure the drop shadow on the center court C fits with the rest of the court.I think the subtraction of the C/Sword logos outside of the key is a big downgrade as well.

officeglenn Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 McCarthy brought up some good points about the court, but honestly, at first blush, I quite liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The random Cleveland wordmark is the only thing I don't like. Pretty cool they added in the blue. edit: Maybe with the navy on the court, they're hinting at a new navy alternate this year. I'd love those CavFanatic unis to become full timers.

There it is again... what does that even mean?I think it means "not icononic". NYC has an iconic skyline. The Space Needle makes a skyline work for Seattle. There are few more.

If your city has a bunch of buildings, roughly the same size, without a really tall one or a very uniquely shaped one, it's non-descript. I can guarantee you that 9/10 people from Cleveland would look at that skyline illustration and not know it was supposed to represent their city. It's like the Cavaliers are trying really hard to look Big City, when the actual big city teams with distinctive skylines (Knicks, Bulls) are above such things. Cleveland's not a big important city, and that's okay. They need to not act like it's one. If they have to fluff themselves, just print "At least we're not Detroit" on the baselines and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Cleveland fan. But yeah, I'd be shocked if the reception isn't overwhelmingly positive in the 216.I'd love to see a hybrid of the current jerseys and the last set — someone put together a concept a little while back that had navy numbers under wine "Cavaliers" text all outlined in gold. That'd be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The random Cleveland workmark over the skyline is pretty dopey. Other than that it's a very nice court. It could use more yellow though, especially considering the Cavs' excellent gold alternates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 This is all for the new nationally televised games and exposure the team is getting this year. Smart for the team to do something that lets everyone know about cleveland Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
