In the playoffs. Having trouble posting the actual image, but look at what this matchup once looked like... Nike has been horrible for the NBA. The entire league is one big muddled brand. TOO MUCH GRAY. TOO MUCH BFBS. TOO MANY ALTERNATES. And a whole lot of fumbled rebrands. At least my Cavs will wear wine on the road this year. The current state of affairs is nowhere near as bad as that period of a few years when Adidas was trying to shove sleeved jerseys down our throats every chance they got. I actually like how creative teams have gotten with their alternates under Nike.

Who possibly thought those were a good idea? FFS Nike made that sweet Orlando city uniform and, like Adidas, made OKC alts that look better than the main uniform. Plus they salvaged that absurd Clippers wordmark into a pretty nice set. Otherwise? Mostly a lot of junk. The Spurs wearing black at home today is dumb. The Lakers not wearing purple or gold in April is dumb. The Cavs' stupid gray jerseys is dumb. There's really just so much Nike for the sake of Nike that you can almost forgive Adidas' worst excesses. For the most part, the uniform matchups at least made sense. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 33 minutes ago, Kaz said: Sleeved jerseys are dumber than dumb, but declaring the Nike takeover as an aesthetic success because of them being gone is like declaring the Hurricanes' look better than the Whalers' because they don't wear cooperalls. Sleeves (and Clippers) aside, Adidas had a league that looked somewhat coherent and professional. Nike has done little but on every team they wrap their fingers around, including the Celtics and Lakers, since they took over. Nike/NBA really needs to give the teams back control over what they wear and when they wear them. Even though I'm not the biggest NBA fan, I must acknowledge how ridiculous it is that the Lakers seem to be always in yellow or the Rockets in red at home. In theory, colour vs colour, and all the crazy alternates is not such a bad thing, but the way it has been executed made it a bit of a cluster*beep*. Baseball does it right where teams designate a certain alternate uniform to be worn on a certain day. I think NHL teams does the same thing.

Kramerica Industries Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The Wizards uniforms look like a practice uniform. Those are being worn in a playoff game? They're awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruins Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Really unpopular opinion, but is anyone else actually kinda enjoying the way the Nike system has worked in playoff series? Regardless of the merit of the uniforms themselves, to me it's really cool to see the multiple ways each team's duds can match up against each other in up to 7 games. It's like each game has a distinct look to it. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

It's a big improvement over this mess: PRO: I totally agree that the t-shirts were an abomination and I'm glad Nike ended that experiment. CON: At least those were treated as alternates and didn't essentially become primaries. Design-wise there is too much going on in the NBA with the Nike takeover in general. Too many new jerseys and identities at once, especially with how many have turned out. But I think if they hadn't removed logic from jersey scheduling there'd be a lot less bitching.

Lights Out Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I definitely agree that Nike should stop meddling in teams' uniform rotations. That's really my only complaint with the Nike era. (I don't like the ads on jerseys, either, but that is a league directive, not a manufacturer directive, obviously.) Aesthetically, Nike's "look at me" design element (scapula seams) is more tolerable than Adidas' "look at me" design element (sleeves). And most teams seem to be getting a lot more creative with alternates under Nike than they ever did with Adidas. It's clear that NBA alternates are now going to be more like third jerseys in hockey instead of recolors of the main set. I think people would be less frustrated/confused if they adjust their expectations accordingly. Overall, the Nike era has still been a big step up from the Adidas era, IMO.

orangefaniniowa Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Neither Adidas nor Nike can make great basketball uniforms anymore. Sad, during the late 90s/early 2000s they were the best of the best as far as jerseys are concerned. Now they make them look cheap and us consumers spend a whole lot of money for a jersey that is nowhere near the quality and durability now then it was back then.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 These OKC are an example of good Nike jerseys. The Thunder are weird, because they've had a handful of alts that kind-of-but-don't-really connect to each other. These probably make the most sense; These were cool enough, but what do they have to do with anything? These are wonderful, but again, have no connection to the base set: And among all of their alts, these are probably closest to the core Thunder identity. Perhaps not coincidentally, they're also the worst: 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satomiblood Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I can't wait until this Houston-Minnesota series is over. It's probably the ugliest matchup in the playoffs thus far. Games 3 and 4 were better than 1 and 2, but not by much. Really think it would've been a good time for the Wolves to roll out the green set for at least one of the home games. Would've looked better going against Houston's red road set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
