Delux247 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 At the WNBA Draft today they've unveiled new jerseys for the teams. The have weird logos inside the side panelling. I also noticed they've incorporated the new/old NBA style basketball into the Draft logo. Were they going to use that style too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 The side pannels work for some teams, like Detroit and San Antonio. It runs the risk of introducing a cookie-cutter like look though, so some teams should probably leave the pannels black and focus on different design elements.

totc Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 The side paneling for these WNBA jerseys seem to serve a style purpose kind of like those New Era caps that have one of the six panels embroidered with a big logo:Now, are all the home jerseys getting three stripes (a subliminal Adidas advertisement)?

Hoopskid Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 ahah, that and the fact that it's gotta a kinda feminen thing to it. Not being sexist, just doubt a guy like Shaq would wear that. Kinda like the NBA in the 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmw_29 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 In a related story, ESPN has come to discover that no one cared."If a WNBA game is played anywhere, and no one gives a crap, does it really make a sound?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totc Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I like the Shock road (a thunderbolt worthy of the Dick Vitale-era Pistons) and the San Antonio road. The Lynx road looks absolutely awful.Looks like the WNBA is mandating city names on the roadies, I guess. Thing is, I don't think the word "Washington" has appeared on a Bullets or Wizards or Mystics uniform before this season.I like this jersey.One thing I saw, though. Does the placement of the city name on this Silver Stars mockup mean that every WNBA team will have the surname under the number (a la late 70s Kansas City Kings and Duquesne University)?

Good point. You see, I really enjoy watching Florida's men's team because they share the ball, don't make rash decisions, shoot well, play good defense, and rebound.I'm really surprised that all of these fly-by-night super-prep schools, shoe company agents, and other flacks don't recognize this.

I also noticed they've incorporated the new/old NBA style basketball into the Draft logo. Were they going to use that style too?The draft logo appears to show a white ball with four brown wedges on it. I guess that the other pole appears to show a predominantly brown ball with four white wedges. I can't imagine the league making two different basketballs as shown here:Wonder if this ball will be gone by mid-season, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Those don't look like different balls to me - they look like a basketball that's orange on one side, white on the other and with "fingers" of each color that mingle in the middle.

BBTV Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Yes, the ball has only 2 panels, with four fingers each.

jman077 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hmm. I'm not quite sure how to feel about these. I always sort of liked the WNBA jerseys. Now, some of them are quite bad. Maybe I'll get used to them. Sig courtesy of LEWJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT'S CONNECTICUT, BAMA!!!!!BTW, I like the Sacramento purple jersey. I just wonder if Adidas will make sew-on replicas available. Throughout the Champion, Reebok, and Nike eras, all they've sold in the stores have been the cheapo screenprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
