LEWJ Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 José Calderón's "8" is upside-down. Compare to Channing Frye's. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee-Row Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Is it me or does the Cavs management really like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Everything they've ever used seems inspired by the Buccaneers. The Cavs logo with the sword and the flag reminds me of the Bucs and the Cavs font on the Jerseys reminds me of the Bucs font that is on the side of the Bucs jersey.

LEWJ Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I hadn't noticed this yet... Cavs numerals have holes positioned in a way that echos the beveled wordmark. Sorry if this was already pointed out. (I know all teams have the vent-holes in the numbers, but i haven't seen any that are laid out in a pattern of any kind.) (Posting from mobile. Can't tell if the photos are junk quality, sorry.) | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VDizzle12 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 The new Cavs uniforms are really growing on me. I really like how the whites look tonight. Nike paid attention to detail and really designed around the new template, as opposed to trying to force a design onto it (*couch* Rockets *cough*) Lots of "players on the wrong team* potential with this Cavs team.

Now that’s a cool way to do a bevel. I still don’t like the typeface (or at least I think it could be better), but the look as a whole is growing on me.

The more I look at it, the more I am apalled at how it got through - it should've been declared unfunctional at first sight. No visual hierarchy whatsoever between those two. It's all because the nike and sponsor logos leave no room for a small upper corner front jersey number like the sleeved championship version or old Nuggets jersey or late 90s Hawks and Rockets.. So now we're left with this stacked mess. It's a shame, this would look nice if it were the the old giant C with the sleeves removed. Like it or not black is an important part of their tradition since they won a title wearing it. What if the C were even bigger and the number were inside the C? Or the number moved to the shorts or removed entirely? There's got to be a better way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Akronite- Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 In game they look pretty good because it's a fairly unoffensive and safe design. I have lots of problems with their set but it certainly won't be an eyesore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenTino Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm more surprised the Cavs won't have a navy uniform. Navy has mostly been their go-to option on the road in the playoffs, and this will be the first time in either LeBron era in Cleveland that they will go into the playoffs without a navy option.
