Berlin Wall Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Damn, I missed that the Pacers are confirmed. That's such good news. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 For what it's worth, this comes from Steve Starks, Utah Jazz president: Again, it's a response to a pseudo-snarky post from a Jazz blogger/fan who colored the navy giveaway shirts to tomorrow's game purple, but it also hints that the Jazz are at aware of (some) fans' wish for Utah to wear purple. I doubt anything happens next year, but further out, it's a possibility. It's probably an unpopular opinion, but this is just the right balance with the Jazz: remaining Blue/Green/Yellow but having a PFPS alternate/throwback* to tie over the part of the fanbase wanting purple back. My reasoning is probably color/identity fatigue, but I think Utah looks good in Blue/Green/Yellow. Granted, I'd prefer them to emphasize green regardless of whether they stick with navy or return to purple, but a darker purple in place of navy in their current color scheme may work. Of course, I'd like to see them lighten the blue and green (especially the green) a shade or two. If they were to return to purple full-time, I'd have them emphasize Purple/White/Green/Yellow (in that order with a green/yellow alternate) though. I might have to whip up a concept and sent it Mr. Starks' way. AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3N Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hoping the new Pacers uniforms includes some reference to racing in Indiana, or the old Flo Jo's from the 90s. Just glad the current early 2000s Reebok garbage is going bye bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyJosh Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Glad the era of these Pacers jerseys are over. Mismatching, super wide panels and that wishbone collar. Never liked them much and I thought it was a downgrade from the previous set. I wonder if we'll ever see Paul George in the new jerseys... as for the Suns, I wonder what's ahead. Their rebrand wasn't long ago at all... If they just got rid of the butt stripe on the shorts and eliminated what's left of black in the scheme, they would be alright imo.

Shadojoker Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19307919/uni-watch-flashback-last-wear-coveted-c Interesting article by Paul Lukas on teams that used to have the "C" for captains on their uniforms. I kinda thought it was cool and unique. NFL has stars on their uniforms to reflect their status on their teams. Should NBA go back to captain "C"s,do something similar to NFL, or keep the uniform simple and uncluttered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should NBA go back to captain "C"s,do something similar to NFL, or keep the uniform simple and uncluttered? With the ad patches coming in, as well as the Nike logo on the chest, I'd say it's best for NBA teams to refrain from going back to that. Plus I'd say there's a good chance the Nike NBA jerseys will have slimmer shoulders (though I don't expect them to be quite as thin as the most recent college and international jerseys), so space will already be pretty limited there. And there's always the possibility of memorial patches, anniversary patches, etc. Do we really want to see this in the NBA? Or even if the shoulders end up being a bit thicker, it can still get pretty cluttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 In Europe teams sometimes use armband or tape to recognize a captain. Here is an example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just basically changing the template of the uniforms that those god-awful wordmarks will go on. Sorry to disappoint.

labc93 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 So I was just checking out the NBA store online and came across something interesting. Some hats are described as "current logo" while some hats with the secondary logos don't. I believe we will be seeing a lot of teams changing logos this postseason. Btw, I spotted this on the Washington Wizards section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discogod Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 They won't make major changes. They've updated the pinwheel logo a few times whilst still keeping it recognizable, and it's such an iconic logo in the NBA that they wouldn't face the wrath of their fans by doing anything too drastic. They'll just modernize it whilst introducing a few secondaries that are more "different". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 22 minutes ago, San Diego said: Blazers changing is a mistake. Their current set has been around for 15 years with only a few minor changes along the way. I'd say it's definitely the right time for a refresh, especially considering the current trajectory of the franchise (two legitimate stars, youngest active roster in the league, a budding 22 year old center, and three first round picks to use as trade bait or to draft young talent). While their current set is still one of the nicer ones in the league IMO, it's been mainly associated with dark times and dissapointment. There was the Jail Blazers era, and then there was the promise of the three headed monster of Oden, Aldridge, and Roy and its subsequent destruction due to injuries. Then there was Aldridge turning into a perennial all-star, the hiring of Coach Stotts, the drafting of Lillard, and the best starting five in a decade. Yet that still ended in disappointment with injuries, playoff exits, and Aldridge's departure. Now it's the promising rebuild around Lillard and McCollum, and the time seems right to make a change. Their current set has become tired and stale and it seems stuck in the mid-2000's with elements like the needless silver accents, serifed italic fonts, awkward mix of outlining and shadowing, and the stupid black parallelogram in the primary logo. All signs are pointing to some small tweaks and modernizations/simplifications with their new logos and uniforms, and that's exactly what they need. They have so many good elements to draw upon and they're very in touch with the desires of the fan base. There's no question in my mind that the updated logos, uniforms, etc. will be just as recognizable as any in their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
