Whoever designed these Stars and Stripes uniforms really hit it out of the park! Remove the unnecessary double outline on the numbers (navy outlined in red would be far superior), and I'd be fully in support of making these the Wizards' primary uniforms. Also, the Cavs' wine uniforms are by far their best look. Hint, hint, Cleveland: wear them more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Lankford Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Those jerseys are nice but they make the name "Wizards" a non-sequitur, though I think I would take the jerseys over the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I was watching what was supposed to be Pistons vs Spurs on Friday night, but all I could see was the Pistons players. When they didn't have possession, the ball was moving by itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite... There'd been pro baskeball since 1898. The first BAA (forerunner to the NBA) game was Huskies vs Knicks, Nov. 1 1946. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgkCrYZBT34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than risk going anything close to that route, I instead chose to put my smart ass response in letter form. Hope all is well. Give my best to Beverly (yeah you can give her my best alright yeah yeah *air hump and lip bite*) Okay but for real, be well. God bless.

TaylorMade Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 “The sleeves are as big a mistake as the league has ever made,” said Dunleavy. “They look bad, and functionally, they get in the way of your shot, and when you sweat, you get cold. You find yourself being colder in a sleeved jersey than an unsleeved one. If you ask me, I’d rather have a sleeveless jersey. I think it’s come to the end of the road with that, though.” http://uproxx.com/dimemag/nba-uniforms-history-evolution/5/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The switch to composite, not the switch from laced to un-laced. Not THAT far back.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenTino Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I was surprised the NBA just went back to the old ball. Even if they went back to the natural material, they could have kept the unique shape of the pieces for a proprietary design, sort of like the NFL has the wonky stripes on its referees' uniforms.

That ball looked like a Walmart 2$ out-of-the-bin ball. If only we were able to get rid of the sleeves that quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being in NYC at the NBA store that season when these balls were released. They were selling them at $100. I grabbed one of the balls on display and I agree with Steve Nash and the other players. It felt different and I could imagine dribbling that thing all game would cause some issues Go A's!
