I will keep asking until I get an answer that is somewhat knowledgeable, unlike yours. Jaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you my answer is definitely knowledgeable. For one thing, there have been many people and sources claiming the fourth uniforms will be unveiled sometime in late fall, early winter. And then second, I have a couple of sources in sports retail who have given me similar information based on Nike catalogs and memos that’ve been sent out to retailers.

I think we will see the 4th unis sometime in November. Jaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I guess I was always confused as to why away teams got to wear colors. Like you'd have OKC hosting Golden State. The court, seats, arena, fan jerseys and giveaway shirts are all blue, and then GS is the one wearing the blue jerseys. If you didn't know better, you'd tune in and assume they were the home team. So I'm all for color at home, I think it makes the most sense aesthetically. And when you throw in another color, you get some unique combinations that can make the game as a whole look really cool.

In hockey, it used to be the road team didn’t get their sweaters washed each period. So dark jerseys hid the stains better. Maybe basketball borrowed the tradition.

upperV03 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Lakers’ Classic Edition officially unveiled: I’m not a Lakers fan by any stretch of the imagination, but this is one of my favorite uniforms in NBA history, and I’m ecstatic to see it brought back this season. The white text of the ad patch sticks out like a sore thumb (though ad patches in general stick out like a sore thumb), but otherwise I think it looks great. It’ll be worn for five games this season, the first of which will be on Wednesday night against the Wizards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, the Warriors are wearing their classic look 13 times this season. Oh well. EDIT: The dates these will be worn has been added to the tracker I have been working on.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I didn't realize that the Bucks are actually playing AT the old Mecca. I thought they were just using a replica of the court. That's pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentColon2 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Random thought. The Warriors should never wear the throwbacks alt. It only shines a light on how inferior the current set looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a tongue-in-cheek comment, but even if LeBron goes to LA next season, he likely won’t get to wear it. Throwbacks have generally only lasted one season (except for the Pacers’ “Hickory” fauxbacks), and that’ll continue with the transition to Nike. Plus, this is the Lakers’ 70th season, which is why they’re honoring the MPLS years with this throwback for this season. Although, next season will be their 70th in the NBA (71st overall), so I suppose they could keep it for next season, or replace it with another throwback.

Why not the 'Lakers' version? That'd be cool. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."
