Maybe it's an alternate court or something? Not that weird: 2k is just a video game; It could give you a teaser of what's coming, but just that and nothing beyond. Many more changes will come, 2k will update most of them and some will not. Plain and simple. Your queen is just a pawn with some fancy moves.

It had all the things that make a jersey great: layers, texture and thick embroidery. The swingman were just crap. There were a few instances of these numbers falling off of jerseys, and I'm not sure the jersey-colored outline layer was really beneficial. The kiss-cut and mesh were nice. But the weird thing is, for this year, it looks like Nike is using swingman-style screen printed twill for wordmarks and numbers (with a mesh treatment applied to the numbers). Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weight reduction alone was astronomical, and the concept of reducing the amount of material in the numbers to avoid multiple layers of fabric building up and holding moisture was innovative on a league-wide scale, and something that’s being continued with the new uniforms. I but all gave up on Adidas in 2010 when they switched to Rev 30 garbage. Up until them I liked them as much as like Nike when they made awesome shiny Dri-Fit jerseys leaving right where they left off from what Nike and Reebok did. But switching it to the "lighter" look doesn't mean it looked great. I am happy went to NBA to Nike, they look mostly better except a few that are questionable, but not as horrible as post 2010 Adidas did. My two cents.

Yeah, that does sound like a nightmare, wet numbers. Imagine Michel Jordan playing though that hell every night. Somehow he still managed to do pretty good, amazing!

For a player, I’m sure the feel and performance of the garment carries a bit more weight (no pun intended) than whether or not it’s awesomely shiny.

The new NBA jerseys have kiss-cut sewn twill around all the wordmarks and numbers. The fill fabric of the numbers is laser perforated (like some of the NHL numbers), not mesh. The original goal with the adidas numbers was to heat press them to the jersey so that there was no stitching on the inside to rub against the skin. The plan didn’t hold up long-term, though, so they ended up being sewn down in the end. Regarding the garment color outline, I always preferred what was done on the college jerseys (or on three-layer numbers like San Antonio’s), where the outer layer was the color of the number or part of the color sequence, not the same color as the garment.

Plus they are advertising to 100s of countries who watches live or on YouTube in perpetuity. If you have heard of them, then they wouldn't need to advertise in the first place. I don't see Porsche or Ferrari needing to pay a team for a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was replying to alecgoff's statement on Wish and Wish alone, but generally speaking, companies that don't need to advertise don't--or do it in places where it will reach their targeted demographic better than the NBA.
