nbatopstore.com, really? Let's be careful how much stock we put in to leaks from a very obvious knockoff NBA store.

exactly

^ it doesn't look like the "leak", but sadly the general idea is legit.

Heads up: Apparently the Detroit city edition is one of the best this year, and is based on St Cecilia’s Gym.

Yup

How long until the concepts board has at least three designs better than this? I’ll give it two hours. 

You must not follow me on twitter...

judging from that picture it seems like there’s no more contrasting arm holes, collar, or waist band. hard to see if there’s any side design but i see a little something on the left side of allen’s shorts (i think it’s just the C logo) i hope i’m wrong but they kinda look like they’re going the Utah route. 

Condors could work because you could conceptually pivot to sky blue / orange (or red) / black / white as a color scheme and connote San Diego roots. You still keep the "LAC" that they've been using recently. They also need to retain the "urban street" aesthetic they've been keying into. It's a nice contrast to the glitz and glam of the Lakers.

If a team, say the Clippers, decided to change names.  Assuming that it hasn't leaked or been announced officially by others, are you allowed to insinuate that something is coming, or are you under an actual NDA?

Yea, that about sums it up, but I will say, sadly, that the Clips don't have a change coming. Let's hope they change (at least the logo) when the Inglewood move comes. And that's not an insinuation. Just my personal hope. I wouldn't know about something that far ahead of time.

The Clippers have this same issue. A great number font, but no one notices it because of how crap the rest of the uniform is. 

Back when they first came out, i tried to match that font for the wordmark font...
 

#ShamelessPlug

that's an awful photoshop job, firstly. secondly, that website is not legit at all.

Are Nike/Jordan Brand logos going back to non-diamond-like varieties?

Yep, back to normal after the 75th anniversary ones. I made sure to purchase a Swingman (red Cade city) as a momento of the season.

Nothing official from the Suns yet either

Suns are sticking with current Association and Icon uniforms. Only changing Statement and City (and adding the Classic) for next season.

Where was the design team that designed the two red rock jerseys, anyway? They could’ve made something way better than this.

Probably getting stifled by more important people in the organization who think they know design and the pulse of the fanbase?

^ that's because @barnesdesign was in charge of that. a true legend of sports design.

i have a feeling he had less control on this recent "attempt" at a redesign.

Well...so much for purple being back and them backtracking. Looks like that black and yellow garbage is going to be the new brand after all.

they learned WAY too late that people hate the black / yellow and the boring font.

like many have said here, it's pretty cringe that they are making a big deal out of the purple stuff. openly admitting that they f'ed up with the plain black / yellow redesign. Yeeeesh.

I'm convinced Conrad put the logoman back on the front of the jersey in his mockup just to tease us.

lol, nope. it's just how it should be.

and until Nike pays me (like they do the NBA) to put it on the front, then i'll continue as I have it.

The CAVS wordmark holds the space much more prominently than the full CLEVELAND.

Bodes well for the real Association jersey, then....

Hey @Conrad., will the Cavs’ new uniforms have a more legible number font? Nothing I’ve seen in the rollout today gives me much hope.

number font will be the same as now, with just different treatment...so, no?

Click through that image to see a new logo on the very top-left of that screenshot.

If I was a Cavs I'd choice navy or drop dark colors completely and stays only with burgundy-yellow-white.

not such a bad idea

I'm just surprised we didn't get a SATX jersey yet.

pelicans finally getting some changes to their uni set??

 

Nope.

first look at the Draft hats:
 

Looks pretty good, and also confirms those 5 teams to not change logos for next season (damn you, Thunder, and to a lesser degree Magic!). Everyone keep eyes peeled for 2 specific hats
