  1. Indy vs the Lakers is exactly what the NBA deserves for not thinking this all the way through. Both teams' city editions will not be allowed, as well as the Lakers purple statement uniform and the Pacers navy icon uniform. This leaves both teams with just white and gold uniforms remaining. They have no problem with white and gold, they just played that matchup the other day, but all these courts were built around teams' city edition uniform identities and none of them contrast enough with the court to be used. You'd think someone would have considered this before now. Guess they had been hoping for Toronto vs San Antonio or Houston as those are the only matchups that would have allowed for city edition use on the blue/red court.
  2. Radford joining the NBA with some "city edition" jerseys.
  3. Yeah, the leaks all looked terrible, but the releases have changed my mind in some cases. I'm ashamed to say the ones that I like, but let's just say they've been posted recently for their terrible Nike-speak and they are terrible but now I....like them. It's all storytelling with these things, and sometimes they just do a good job with it. I'm still not buying them or wanting them to exist, but the people selling them are doing a pretty good job.
  4. Ahh, I think we were wrong, these might be solid colored courts not new uniforms. No "wood" would be totally different and "never been done before" for this level of ball in the US.
  5. If those are indeed jersey colors, and do correlate with in-season tournament jerseys that will be worn, I have two stabs at the teams they match. Option 1, on the left is simply dividing between east and west, groups A,B, & C then trying to match up teams (alphabetical does not seem to make sense). Option 2, on the right is still keeping the playing-groups of 5 together but this time trying to match up teams best suited for the colors shown. Ends up with a bit of a random order. In both options there are weird ones (Bulls in Maroon, Blazers in gold, Spurs in light blue, Nets in pink) but no matter what I do I keep getting the Knicks in the seafoam/patina color.
  6. Good looking and needing to exist are different conversations, because of course none of these need to exist. Some look good but have some weird decisions within them, and other just don't look good, don't make sense, and shouldn't have ever been presented as options. I think Boston, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, New York, Phoenix, Toronto, and Utah look good. Do the Mavs need a black jersey or do the Raptors need a gold jersey? No. Does Boston's fit with their jersey history? No. Do the Knicks' need that double-lettering? No. None of these should exist and be worn by these professional teams, but at least a couple of the cash grab editions look good in a vacuum.
  7. Love that someone covered Jermaine Samuels Jr.'s number so he didn't get in trouble for this leak, yet you can make out his name and number from the back of the jersey. Not a Rockets fan, not from Houston, but I love the inspiration being Phi Slama Jama. I've seen multiple outlets say it's Oilers inspired, but the blue is clearly not going in that direction.
  8. And as we all know, that is not white, it is a color Nike calls "Sail".
  9. There's no way this is just a random design choice, these had to have been designed by someone with a name or a following or something. They're a little too polished to be done by that NBA_paint account that gets a lot of pub, but something like that?
  10. I somehow missed some of these, every single one gave me the "I wish I was that brilliant" feeling! Kudos, sir.
  11. Now if the authentics are more shiny fabric, kind of redoing the trash bag look, then there could be marketing-speak tie-ins with the music. "Silky smooth vocals", "shimmery notes", "velvety chords", etc. Fingers crossed for shiny gray.
  12. Looks like the Mavs are going with a Leon Bridges design. Idk whether he designed them or they're a tribute to his music or what, but that seems to be his signature, and he grew up in Fort Worth and goes to games. They even released an album together (he and the Mavs I guess). I didn't know he was well known enough to get a city edition design, but I guess he won a grammy?
  13. Wolves are putting up a sign inside Target Center confirming the white throwbacks.
  14. Is that Black and Bronze above the Heat Culture uniform? Are the Wizards bringing it back? Could it be the Pelicans or Thunder or 76ers trying it out? Are all my guesses wrong as usual because they are just guesses? Stay tuned to find out.
  15. This doesn't seem good. All speculation: I'm envisioning them becoming a red/black team, with Oilers blue used in 1 or 2 uniforms. Red helmet and White helmet. Something flag related will happen. If they go with horns on the front of the helmet, the H logo will be on the back, possibly in Oilers blue.
