mattr1198 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 In honor of Opening Night, I decided to experiment and create a different style of Nike NBA jersey called the Legacy uniform. These involve a combination of different eras of the respective team combined into a single uniform. This means there are varying styles, colors, and logos. Below each uniform are the aspect of the uniform and the era it's correlated to. I'm starting this series off with some Atlantic Division teams: Boston Celtics: 1950s-60s: Chest text 1970s-90s: Number, pant logo 2000s-Present: Pant stripe, sleeve pattern Brooklyn Nets: 1960s-80s (As the New York/New Jersey Nets): Side pattern, pant logo Early-mid 1990s (As New Jersey Nets): Chest text 2000s: Uniform Color Present: Number font New York Knicks: Late 1960s-70s: Chest text, pant logo Mid 1980s-mid 1990s: Primary and Secondary colors, number font Late 1990s-Early 2010s: Uniform side design, sleeve pattern Present: Tertiary color The rest of the division and more will be coming soon, but let me know what you think!

HecEdHooligan Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Great stuff. Please don’t do the Thunder’s Legacy is the SuperSonics. OKC doesn’t get Seattle’s history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great start. I like the old school Celtics font across the chest, and I love you put the Yankees NY back on the Knicks uniform. My only complaint is there is no NBA logo on the back. My advice would be just putting customizing the template with the NBA logo as a permanent layer. Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKC doesn’t get Seattle’s history. As an Oklahoman, I agree. We don't claim anything of Seattle's history down here and are waiting for the league to grant them a team to give back the history and tradition.

mattr1198 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 A quick update to the Bucks uniform, adjusting the font more towards the chest, but also changing the white stripe to the tertiary color to match the rest of the color scheme.

mattr1198 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 My apologies for the delay, been kind of busy as of late. To start the Southeast Division: Atlanta Hawks: 1970s: Short waist pattern and waist logo 1980s: Colors and chest design (modernized) 1990s-Early 2000s: Side design, pant logo (color adjusted) Late 2000s-Mid 2010s: Number font Present: Chest text As work lightens up for me over the next few days, I will be completing the division and, thus, the Eastern Conference.

mattr1198 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Probably the most boring of the bunch, as the team only has two truly different uniforms: Miami Heat: Late 1980s-1990s: Colors, number drop shadow, pant logos 2000s-Present: General uniform design (adjusted side), chest text NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the white side panel doesn't work for me. Strangely enjoying the italic numbers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely enjoying the italic numbers though. Removed the orange stripe and changed back to its original green, but I think the early Bobacts' side striping allows for the era's element to be properly used so it's not just an out of place tacked on Bobcats logo. In addition, my colors are limited as to what to replace the white with if I did. NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
