I don't like the marble effect either.  But, seeing as it's likely to just be part of the trim, I hope it won't be too much of an eyesore.

 

As I commented on the blog post itself, I noticed that the Wizards' "District" unis will only have one ball dotting an "i" instead of two as depicted in the initial mockup.  That's an improvement; I thought having two balls for "i" dots felt like overkill. 


I still don't like the "of Columbia."

 

I think the marble effect will look better on a jersey than a hat.  I thought the two balls for dotted i's would look cool, but I'm okay with one.

 

I think Miami and maybe the Clippers will look the best.

 

And I wish these hats were offered in other styles than 9Fifty Snapbacks.  Some of us like 39thirties/low pro 59fifties.

 

Also, kudos to Conrad for his concepts...there’s not really any surprises in these hats. 

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

So the Clippers will have white, blue, black, and baby blue uniforms and their court is primarily red.

 

Sure.

Same deal for the Pistons. Red court, gray is a tertiary color, and navy isn’t even in the color scheme anymore; yet gray and navy are the two alternate jerseys..

I don't have any stats to back this up, but I would guess that jerseys (and clothes in general) in "calmer" colors like gray, navy, blue, and black sell WAY better than red jerseys.

 

They let red dominate their courts because it's an intense, energetic, emotional, and attention-grabbing color.  

 

So it makes sense to me.

I imagine that they will end up with the curved bill style soon. The statement hats are now offered in that variety.

-Clippers are the HOME team wearing Blue.

-Little to no blue on the court, GG Clippers.

Re City Edition:

Can't believe I missed this, but in September the Sixers put out their City Edition schedule and their first game is December 21st... 

Quote

The City Edition jerseys will join the Association Edition (home), Icon Edition (road), and Statement Edition jerseys this season.

Below is a list of games for the "Spirit of 76" campaign where the special jerseys and court will be featured.

Thursday, Dec. 21 vs. Toronto Raptors

Friday, Jan. 5 vs. Detroit Pistons 

Friday, Feb. 2 vs. Miami Heat

Friday, Feb. 9 vs. New Orleans Pelicans 

Friday, March 2 vs. Charlotte Hornets

Friday, March 16 vs. Brooklyn Nets

Friday, April 6 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers 

http://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/the700level/sixers-play-new-court-design-wear-special-city-edition-jerseys-old-school-bell

So the City Editions would have to be unveiled sometime this weekend or next week probably

Why did Clippers insist on randomly adding black? Their unis should be, white, navy, red, and baby blue. Sucks they won't have a red uniform (allegedly). 

 

I think they look better with black. Their logos are still not the best, but I definitely enjoy their brand with this season's updated uniforms.

I need the Clips and the Cavs to get together and decide which will use blue (not black) and which will use black (not blue).

 

I also need the scorebug designers of North America's regional sports networks to step up their game, if color-v-color is going to be the thing.

I'm very surprised no one is talking about the Kings debuting their Global court yesterday vs Toronto! Looks impressive.

 

I thought about it. But, I was wore disappointed that the Raptors weren't wearing red jerseys. And, it wasn't worth the effort.

 

Anyways, now we're here ...

 

I like it.

If I was flippling channels, I'd swear that this was a Bulls-Clippers game in Chicago.
